Is Gadsden part of San Luis or Somerton?
No. Gadsden is an unincorporated community in south Yuma County, with its own Census place name. Yuma County handles its county roads and permits.
The Census Bureau counts Gadsden as a census-designated place. That means it’s a named community with no city government of its own. It sits close to both Somerton and San Luis, but neither city’s permit rules apply there.
That changes who you call. For anything on a public road, the office is Yuma County Development Services, not a city hall. For drop-off and cleanup programs, it’s Yuma County Public Works.
Why does a Gadsden address say 85336 or 85350?
Most of Gadsden is in ZIP 85336, but a slice of it falls in 85350, Somerton’s ZIP. Give the hauler your full street address, not just the ZIP.
The Census Bureau’s 2020 ZIP-area file splits Gadsden’s land two ways. About 81% sits in ZIP 85336. The other 19% sits in ZIP 85350.
So a Gadsden home may have a Somerton mailing ZIP. That doesn’t make it part of the City of Somerton. City limits and ZIP codes are drawn on their own.
If you’re not sure whether your lot is in a city or in the county, ask Yuma County Development Services. Getting this right first tells you which office handles any street placement.
What kinds of dumpster jobs come up in Gadsden?
The Census numbers point to move-outs, landlord turnovers and repairs on older homes. Gadsden is young, mostly rented and has older housing than the county as a whole.
| Gadsden fact (ACS 2020–2024) | Gadsden | Yuma County |
|---|---|---|
| Population | about 493 | 211,741 |
| Median age of residents | 24.2 | 36.1 |
| Occupied homes lived in by their owners | 19.6% | 71.0% |
| Homes built before 1980 | 78.1% | 25.3% |
| Median year homes were built | 1976 | 1995 |
| Housing units that are mobile homes | 21.5% | 28.6% |
Data from the U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020–2024, via Census Reporter. Gadsden is small, so these are small-sample estimates with a high margin of error. The population figure, for example, is 493 plus or minus 360.
About 4 in 5 occupied homes here are rented. The median age is 24.2, the lowest estimate of any town we cover, though the margin of error is wide. Most homes are detached houses, and about 1 in 5 units is a mobile home.
Rentals turn over. When a tenant moves out, furniture, mattresses and boxes can be left behind. Older homes also need repairs, like new flooring, a kitchen tear-out or a roof patch. Read more about landlord turnover and move-out cleanouts.
Could my older Gadsden home have asbestos?
It could. By a rough Census estimate, nearly 8 in 10 Gadsden homes were built before 1980, so test old materials before tear-out.
Older flooring, ceiling texture and siding can contain asbestos. Don’t put suspected asbestos in a roll-off. Have the material tested first.
ADEQ, the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality, requires a notice 10 working days before any demolition. That applies even when no asbestos is found. Renovations need the notice too when they disturb regulated asbestos material above set amounts.

When is the County’s mobile drop-off day at Gadsden Park?
Four Saturdays in 2026, from 9 to 11 a.m. The last 2026 date is Saturday, December 5.
Yuma County runs a Mobile Transfer Site and Recycling Program at Gadsden Park and at Fishers Landing. The County’s 2026 Gadsden schedule and its July 2026 guide list these dates.
| 2026 date | Hours | Status on November 1, 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Saturday, March 7 | 9 to 11 a.m. | Past |
| Saturday, June 6 | 9 to 11 a.m. | Past |
| Saturday, September 5 | 9 to 11 a.m. | Past |
| Saturday, December 5 | 9 to 11 a.m. | Coming up |
The mobile day is only two hours long. The County’s schedule doesn’t list what it takes or whether it costs anything.
Check the Yuma County Waste Management page for the 2027 dates. To ask what the mobile day takes, call Yuma County Public Works at 928-341-2500.
Where can Gadsden households take a full truck bed?
To the South County Transfer Station in Somerton. Household loads are free for county residents, Thursday to Saturday, 7:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
The South County Transfer Station is at 5563 W. County 19th St in Somerton. It opened in August 2026. It’s the nearest county transfer station to Gadsden.
The County’s rules are strict. You get one truck bed or one trailer per day, piled no more than two feet above the cab. Commercial, industrial and oversize loads are not accepted.
That matters for landlords. If a contractor or cleanup crew hauls a turnover load, the County may treat it as commercial and turn it away. See the South County Transfer Station rules and the rules at every county site.

Please don’t leave junk in the desert. The Sheriff’s Office says dumped debris turns up mostly in the desert around the Foothills and County 19th near Somerton. Illegal dumping ranges from a class 2 misdemeanor to a class 6 felony. Read why desert dumping is a crime in Yuma County.
Do I need a permit for a dumpster in Gadsden?
We found no County permit rule for your own driveway. For a county road or right-of-way, call Yuma County Development Services at (928) 817-5000 first.
The County’s 2023 Public Works Standards say a permit is needed for listed work in a public road right-of-way outside city and town limits. The list includes “stockpiling of material.” It doesn’t name dumpsters, so ask before you plan on the street.
Development Services is at 2351 W. 26th St in Yuma. If you rent your home, ask your landlord before a dumpster arrives. The owner may need to approve where it goes.
Check the truck’s path too. One national broker says its trucks need about 60 feet of straight-line space and 23 to 25 feet of overhead clearance. Low wires, trees and fences are common limits. Read our guide to placing a dumpster on a county road or driveway.
What size dumpster fits a Gadsden move-out or turnover?
Start with a 10-yard for a small rental or a repair job. Ask about a 20-yard when a whole house of furniture is left behind.
| Gadsden job | Size to ask about first | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Move-out with a few rooms of leftovers | 10-yard | Small load, small footprint |
| Full turnover with furniture, mattresses and carpet | 15 or 20-yard | Bulky items fill a box fast |
| Kitchen or flooring tear-out in an older home | 20-yard | Cabinets and flooring take room |
| Tile, plaster or old concrete steps | 10-yard | Heavy debris hits the weight limit first |
| Yard cleanup with branches and old fencing | 10 or 15-yard | Bulky but fairly light |
The 10-yard is about 14 feet long, 7.5 feet wide and 3.5 feet high, and holds about 3 pickup loads. The 20-yard is about 22 by 7.5 by 4.5 feet, and holds about 6. Those sizes come from Budget Dumpster’s published specs.
See the 10-yard dumpster dimensions, the 15-yard middle size or the 20-yard for larger cleanouts.
Set these aside before the dumpster arrives
Tenants often leave paint cans, motor oil and cleaners under the sink or in the shed. Those can’t go in a roll-off. Pull them out before you start loading.
Gadsden homes are in Yuma County, so they can use the free City of Yuma household hazardous waste event. The next one is Saturday, November 14, 2026, 8 a.m. to noon, at Yuma Public Works, 1473 S. 2nd Ave. It takes paint, motor oil, cleaners, pesticides, most batteries, household electronics and up to 5 tires off the wheel. It doesn’t take business waste or lead-acid car batteries.
The City doesn’t say whether a landlord’s turnover leftovers count as business waste. Call Yuma Public Works at 928-373-4500 to ask before you bring them. See the household hazardous waste drop-off details.
Fridges and AC units need their refrigerant handled first. Check what can go in a dumpster for mattresses, appliances and tires. If you’d rather have a crew carry everything out, read about junk removal near Yuma.
How much does a dumpster cost in Gadsden?
