Recycling in Florence: A Local Guide
Florence, AZ has three waste-related facilities clustered near the Adamsville Road corridor, but only one of them is a public recycling drop-off. The Pinal County Public Works Material Recovery Center at 12725 E Adamsville Rd is where Pinal County residents bring recyclables: corrugated cardboard, mixed paper, newspaper, #1 and #2 plastic bottles, glass bottles, and aluminum and steel cans. The county facility also accepts waste tires and white appliances (stoves, refrigerators, washers, dryers, microwaves) at no charge. Hours are limited — Tuesday through Thursday, 7 AM to 2 PM — so plan around the schedule. Call 520-866-6685 before your first visit.
Directly across the road, the WM Ironwood Landfill (Adamsville) at 12720 AZ-287 accepts trash, C&D debris, and yard waste for final disposal — it is not a recycling center. It is open Monday through Friday, 7 AM–3 PM. Hazardous waste, liquid waste, and refrigerant-containing appliances are not accepted there.
On the west side of Florence, the Republic Services Central Arizona Transfer Station at 5452 E Hunt Hwy consolidates household trash, C&D debris, carpet, and green waste for transport Monday through Friday 6 AM–4 PM. Like the WM landfill, it does not accept recyclables or HHW — it is a waste disposal facility, not a materials recovery center.
Pinal County also holds periodic Free Disposal Days for residents to discard items at no charge — check pinal.gov or call 520-866-6685 for the current schedule. For the wider Arizona context, visit the Arizona recycling hub. Nearby communities like Casa Grande and Coolidge have their own recycling access points as well.
