Home / I-10 Phoenix–Tucson

I-10 corridor: Phoenix → Tucson dump stops

West Valley travel centers near Exits 133–137 are the practical Phoenix-side dumps. Do not trust old lists that still show Love’s Buckeye as open for dumping — travelers report that dump was removed. Toward Tucson, use Pilot #593 or Catalina State Park’s published $20 non-camper dump. Picacho Peak is campers only.

Conflict watch: some older directories still list Love’s #280 Buckeye at $10. Multiple 2023 traveler reports say the dump is gone. We mark it closed/removed.
