Yard waste drop-off and free mulch in Arizona

In much of the West, yard waste drop-off is called green waste or yard debris drop-off. We list 15 sites in Arizona (all from official sources); 15 take brush and branches and 1 gives away free mulch or wood chips. All 15 list a residency or eligibility rule on the source page, so bring ID or a utility bill. 3 do not have a confirmed map pin yet. Not every local program in Arizona is listed yet.

By type: 15 yard waste drop-off, 15 brush & branches.

Call ahead. Hours, fees, residency rules and accepted materials change. Call or check the official source page before you go. Every listing links to its source.
