To get the free load, bring a City of Flagstaff water bill less than 90 days old showing 90-gallon trash service, plus ID and proof of address. The waiver doesn't apply to construction materials, wood waste, landscaping debris, rock, concrete or dirt, loads over a ton, or waste from contract work.
Speed limit is 10 mph, no open-toed shoes, stay within 6 feet of your vehicle while unloading, and keep children and pets inside. Free mulch for residents — one truck or trailer a month; call first and bring your own tools.
The City's Hazardous Products Center for household chemicals is at the landfill.
If you have 90-gallon City trash service, an ordinary household load under a ton is free — bring the water bill.

Cover or tie down the load, or pay $20 more. The Flagstaff Transfer Station on Flagstaff Ranch Road, which the finder may show first, is run by Waste Management and sets its own prices.
