Community Cleanup Events

The Pinal County encourages the communities to continue supporting such a worthwhile effort in reducing unwanted waste in your neighborhoods by organizing your own clean up events throughout the year. Local landfills throughout the county will be available for dumping the waste.

Discourage illegal dumping by reporting it to our Environmental Investigations division. The Pinal County Desert Dumping Hotline is 520-866-6400.

Continue to sort and recycle materials that do not breakdown in the landfills. The Material Recycling Center lists what it can and can not accept and provides a list of recycling drop off sites throughout the county. There are additional listings for other recycling sites under the Related Links for your convenience.

Pinal County will post future Community Clean Up events in the future. Please monitor your web page for the future dates. We commend you for your effort in keeping America clean for future generations.
