The City of Mesa Solid Waste Management Department offers an optional landfill service to homeowners paying for residential solid waste services (R1.2 or R1.26 rate type). 

As part of this program, homeowners (R1.2 rate type) may use the Salt River Landfill or Waste Management San Tan Transfer Station once per month for an $11 fee.  For your convenience, this charge is added to your monthly utility bill so you do not have to pay when you visit the landfill.  

In some situations however, it may be more economical to pay cash at the current charge per ton versus using the landfill program.  For example, if your load is less than 600 pounds, it will cost you more to use the homeowner landfill program than to pay cash at the current landfill rate. 

What if I don't qualify for this program or need to make more than one trip?

If you do not meet the qualifications to participate in the Homeowner Landfill Use Program or need to make additional trips during the same month, you may still use either facility.  The only difference is that you will be required to pay while at the facility (cash only) and will be charged their standard disposal rate.
