Click here to complete a Waste Disposal Request for non-municipal wastes. If you have any questions regarding our acceptance process, please contact the Waste Acceptance Coordinator at 520-791-4183 or email WasteDisposal@tucsonaz.gov.
Disposal of the waste cannot take place unless written approval by the Los Reales Landfill has been granted to the generator or their designated representative. Once the waste is approved for disposal, a signed approval will be emailed to the original requestor.
Federal, State, and local regulations require municipal solid waste landfill facilities (MSWLF) to implement a program to prevent the disposal of regulated materials. The following is a partial list of non-municipal waste materials that cannot be accepted for land disposal at Los Reales Landfill:
Other non-municipal wastes generated through an industrial/manufacturing/business process or from a remediation/clean-up may qualify for disposal at Los Reales Landfill, but first must undergo a characterization, using process knowledge and/or proper sample analyses based on EPA approved guidelines. Additionally, the State of Arizona regulates petroleum contaminated soil (PCS) and auto shredder fluff (ASF) under the "Special Waste" regulations found in the Arizona Administrative Code Title 18, Chapters 13, Articles 13 and 16. PCS and ASF must be characterized properly to determine what regulatory disposal regulations apply.
