Residents of Apache Junction can throw out a load of trash at the landfill during “Free Dump Week” Aug. 4-9.

During that week, the Apache Junction Landfill, 4050 S. Tomahawk Road, offers city residents a free drop off, in partnership with Republic Services, which owns and operates the landfill.

“This is a great opportunity to declutter your home, clean up your yard, and contribute to a cleaner, healthier community — free of charge,” a release states.

To participate, bring proof of residency, such as a city water bill; and one load per household, no larger than a standard pickup truck bed

All visitors must wear a hard hat and safety vest while on site. You may bring your own or purchase a set at the landfill for under $10.

The landfill’s hours of operation are 6 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday-Satu
