Blythe Disposal Site
Blythe Disposal Site, 1000 Midland Road, Blythe, 92225, California
Blythe Disposal Site at 1000 Midland Road is the basic local dump used by folks from the Blythe/Ripley area for household and small contractor loads. Not fancy-just the kind of place neighbors go when there’s too much for curb pickup. Vehicles pull in, sort of move through, and leave once the load is tipped and recorded.
Pull up to a small entrance booth where loads are noted; there’s usually a scale involved so expect to stop more than once. The site is mostly open dirt and compacted pads with piles and roll-off areas visible from the entrance. Recycling and drop-off containers tend to sit off to one side, and lineups form fast on weekends and during spring clean-ups. Wind can kick up dust, so expect some grit on vehicles after a visit.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a tarp and tie-downs-this is a windy part of town and loose debris likes to fly out of open trucks.
- Avoid weekend mornings if possible; local clean-up days clog the entrance and waits can stretch out.
- Have gloves and a friend to help unload heavier items so dropping and sorting goes quicker.
