Bishop Sunland

Bishop Sunland, 110 Sunland Reservation Road, Bishop, 93514, California

Bishop Sunland is the local disposal site off Sunland Reservation Road that most Bishop residents use for household drop-offs and truckloads. Small-town in scale-more like a county yard than a big metro transfer station. The street address is 110 Sunland Reservation Road, so it’s easy to punch into a GPS and find when hauling stuff out of town.

Drive up to a small entrance booth and lane where vehicles line up; there’s a scale on site so many people end up stopping twice, once coming in and once going out. The lot is open and workmanlike, with room for pickups and small trailers to maneuver and visible piles or bins for different materials. Weekends and spring cleanup times get backed up, so expect a bit of a wait then. Have loads sorted as much as possible beforehand-California rules mean organics and recyclables are often separated at regional facilities.

Before You Go

  • Secure loose loads and cover dusty debris - wind can blow through the lot and straps make unloading safer.
  • Bring gloves, boots and a good shovel or pry bar for unloading; small items and bulky brush take longer when not pre-sorted.
  • Try to go early on weekdays if possible; weekend afternoons get the longest lines and more traffic to navigate.
