Bertolotti Disposal

Small, no-frills local disposal site that residents in Modesto use when hauling household junk and yard debris. It’s the kind of place neighbors drop by with a pickup or trailer rather than a big commercial truck. Expect a straightforward lot with a scale house and driving lanes rather than any fancy customer area.

Pull into the driveway and approach a small entry booth and scale; vehicles line up during busy times and there’s a second stop before exiting. The tipping area is an open face with piles and roll-off containers visible from the entrance, so be prepared for dust and the smell of fresh mulch or compacted trash depending on what’s being handled that day. Trucks and pickups share the same routes in and out, so watch for backing vehicles and heavy equipment moving material around. There’s basic signage guiding where to drive and where to drop loads, but be ready to follow directions from whoever’s working the gate.
