Free dump day Saturday gives Maricopans chance to ‘clean house’

Maricopa residents can ‘clean house’ by getting rid of their trash and unwanted items during a free dump day on Saturday, Nov. 13.

There will be two dump day locations, the Butterfield Station Landfill and Recycling Association of Maricopa (RAM).

The Butterfield Station Landfill, located about 13 miles west of the center of Maricopa on Hwy. 238 at 40404 S. 99th Ave., is accepting trash only, including bulk refuse, unwanted furniture and other household items, from 8 a.m. to noon. The landfill will not take commercial loads, tires, appliances, TV’s or electronics, propane tanks, oil or paint.

No trash or liquid waste will be accepted at the Recycling Association of Maricopa site, at 46250 W. McDavid Road (take the first right turn south of the railroad tracks and then go west on McDavid Road), but residents can drop off items such as appliances and electronics, computers, ink cartridges, cell phones, scrap metal, car batteries and usable furniture from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The event is being sponsored by the Pinal County Board of Supervisors, Recycling Association of Maricopa, Waste Management and the city of Maricopa.
