Bishop Waste Disposal

100 Sunland Res Rd, Bishop, CA 93514

(760) 872-6561

Small, down-to-earth disposal site used by locals around Bishop for household cleanups and truckloads from nearby properties. People swing by with everything from yard clippings to old carpet; it feels like a working corner of town rather than a polished facility.

There’s an entrance booth and a scale near the gate, so drivers usually pull up, get directed where to go, and then drive through again to the exit after dumping. Recycling and other drop-off containers sit to the right just past the booth, while larger disposal piles and open tipping areas are straight ahead. The lot is dusty in dry months and can be noisy when dump trucks or chippers are working. Weekends and spring cleanup times see the longest lines, so a bit of waiting is common.

Before You Go

  • Bring a tarp and straps so loose material stays contained during the drive; it’s easier to keep the truck bed clean and speeds up the stop-off.
  • Sort recyclables and yard material at home if possible; it usually speeds the process and keeps things moving when others are waiting.
  • Try to go midweek or early in the morning to avoid the weekend backup, and wear sturdy shoes-there’s gravel, dust, and uneven ground around the tipping areas.
