Tucson residents will have their trash collection delayed by one day this week. All landfills and transfer stations operated by the city will remain open, including the Catalina Transfer Station, the Ajo Landfill, the Sahuarita Transfer Station and the Ryan Field Transfer Station. The city of Tucson is also keeping the Los Reales Landfill open on Craycroft Road, south of Interstate 10.
