Normal remodel and cleanout debris is welcome. The exclusions come from state and federal disposal rules and from the gate policy at the landfill that receives your load.
The Los Reales Sustainability Campus, the public landfill for this part of the county, turns away explosives and ammunition, regulated hazardous waste, PCB material, radioactive material, bulk liquids, raw septage, intact automobiles, lead acid batteries, and waste oil. Anything banned under federal, state, or city rules is out as well.
Universal waste is the category that trips up homeowners. It covers fluorescent tubes, most batteries, and mercury devices such as old thermostats. Pull those, plus paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos, before loading day.
Tires go to the Pima County waste tire program rather than the landfill, and the county runs the household hazardous waste drop-off for the region.
