WASTE CONNECTIONS OF ARIZONA - DURHAM REGIONAL LANDFILL is an operational landfill located at 22316 S Harmon Rd, Florence, Arizona, in Pinal County. As a regional landfill, it plays a key role in solid waste management for the surrounding communities, handling municipal solid waste under the regulatory oversight of the US EPA and Arizona Department of Environmental Quality. The facility operates under the US EPA RCRA Subtitle D framework, which sets standards for municipal solid waste landfills, including liner systems, leachate collection, and groundwater monitoring. As a landfill in Arizona's arid climate, water management and dust control are important operational considerations. The facility's NAICS code 562212 indicates it is classified as a solid waste landfill. The Durham Regional Landfill contributes to the region's waste disposal infrastructure, serving Florence and potentially other areas in Pinal County. Its location in a semi-arid environment influences leachate generation and gas management practices. The landfill's operational status ensures continued service for local waste disposal needs, supporting community sanitation and environmental protection.

The landfill operates in the Sonoran Desert region of Arizona, where low annual rainfall reduces leachate generation but increases dust and odor management challenges. Groundwater protection is critical due to the region's shallow aquifers, requiring robust liner and monitoring systems. Proximity to residential areas in Florence necessitates careful traffic management and landfill gas control to minimize community impacts.
