Getting rid of an old mobile home or manufactured home takes more planning than a typical junk removal job. Paperwork, safety rules and a lot full of belongings all have to be handled. Here is a simple overview for property owners and park managers in Tucson and Pima County.
1. Find the Title and Paperwork
Start by locating the title for the home. According to Pima County guidance, the Los Reales Landfill accepts whole mobile homes from county residents with a valid title and a DMV disposal permit. If the title is missing, or the home is attached to the land, check with the Pima County Assessor and the Arizona MVD before you plan the removal.
2. Remove What the Landfill Won’t Take
Some items must come out of the home before it can be disposed of:
- Household hazardous waste, such as paint, chemicals and cleaners
- Propane tanks
- Appliances with refrigerant, such as refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners
3. Check Asbestos Rules
Older mobile homes can contain asbestos, and asbestos rules can apply before demolition. Contact Pima County’s Department of Environmental Quality, or your city, to learn what is required for your home before any work begins.
4. Clear Out the Inside
Before a mobile home can be removed, it usually needs to be emptied. This is where Easy Go helps. We clear out furniture, appliances and junk inside the unit and haul it away, then clean up the lot after removal. Usable items are donated or recycled whenever possible.

5. Plan the Lot Cleanup
Once the home is gone, the lot often still has debris, old steps, skirting and yard waste. Plan for a final cleanup so the space is ready to sell, rent or rebuild.
