(209) 754-6403Avery Recycling & Disposal Transfer Station is the local recycling center in Avery that people from town and nearby rural areas use to keep stuff out of the landfill. It’s the kind of place drivers bring once-in-a-while loads from cleanouts, yard work, or small renovation projects. Expect it to handle the usual recyclables and some special drop-offs common to California facilities.
The site looks like a working yard with a small entrance booth and a scale-most visitors stop to check in and the truck or car will usually pass over the scale at least once. There are obvious bays and containers for sorting materials; common items taken at places like this include cardboard, mixed paper, glass, metals and many plastics, and some centers also run electronic or household hazardous drop-off programs. Lines form on weekends and during spring cleanup, and the surface can be dusty or muddy depending on weather, so drive slowly and be ready to secure loose loads in the bed or trunk.
