City of Clovis Landfill
City of Clovis Landfill, 15679 Auberry Road, Clovis, 93619, California
City of Clovis Landfill sits out on Auberry Road and is where folks take loads that won't go in curbside bins. Contractors, haulers and residents drop by here for big cleanups and construction debris. The place is unmistakable - big trucks, dirt ramps and wide open tipping areas.
Drive up to an entrance booth and a weigh scale - most people stop at weigh-in, drive up to the tipping area, then stop again to weigh out because charges are by weight. The site is large with compacted dirt roads, working machinery and exposed cells where material gets buried; commercial trucks are common. Expect to be directed where to unload and to see separate spots for recyclables or green material at many landfills in the area. Weekends and seasonal cleanups can create queues, so lines are a real thing here.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover and secure loads before leaving home - loose debris slows things down and can get flagged at the scale or gate.
- Sort material as much as possible: keep green/organic material separate from mixed trash since California often requires organics separation, and separating saves time on site.
- Avoid peak weekend times if possible; early mornings on weekdays usually move faster and reduce time spent waiting in line.
