Alturas Disposal

Small county disposal site in Alturas used mostly by local residents dropping off household trash and small loads from yard work. It’s the kind of place people swing by with trailers, pickup beds, or carloads during cleanup days. Neighbors and tradespeople both use it when local curbside options aren’t enough.

Pull up to a simple entrance booth and stop to check in; there’s usually a scale nearby that will be used for weight-based charging, so expect to drive back over it on the way out. The yard is open and fairly basic - piles of mixed materials, roll-off containers, and a few covered areas for sorting. Recycling and organics bins are commonly set off to one side at California sites, so be prepared to separate what the site requires. Weekends and spring cleanup times get busy, so lines at the gate and slow dumping can happen.
