Small, industrial-looking site at 3675 Potrero Hills Ln that handles local trash and community drop-offs. Locals, contractors, and anyone hauling household debris come here when they need to get rid of a load. It's the kind of place that's busy on weekends and quieter during weekday mornings.
A gated entrance with an attendant booth and a weigh scale is typical for this kind of facility, so be prepared to stop and pull up slowly. The yard is mostly compacted dirt and gravel with rows of roll-off containers and transfer areas; expect trucks and heavy equipment moving about. Loads are usually handled and sorted on-site, and charges are commonly based on weight, so there’s often a second stop back on the scale when leaving. Lines form easily on weekends and during seasonal cleanups, so plan extra time if arriving then.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort recyclables and organics before getting there - California facilities often require separation and it saves time on-site.
- Cover and secure loose materials in the truck bed or trailer to avoid debris falling out while driving and to speed unloading.
- Aim for a weekday morning if possible; weekends and spring cleanup weekends tend to be the busiest and slowest.
