Get Directions

The City of Paso Robles Landfill at 9000 Highway 46 East is the county landfill locals use for big cleanouts and contractor hauls as well as household drop-offs. It’s a working, dusty site with heavy equipment and big piles - not a recycling center, so bring stuff ready to unload.

There’s a scale/entrance booth where vehicles get weighed and charged by weight, so plan to stop twice - in and out. After weighing in, follow the traffic flow to the active tipping area; expect to see roll-offs, loaders, and compacted mounds of trash. Because California requires separation of organics and recycling, sorted loads move faster and avoid extra handling. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanups, especially when pickup trucks and trailers show up together.

Before You Go

  • Cover and secure loads for the drive in - loose debris makes unloading slower and is a hassle on Highway 46 East.
  • Sort items at home as much as possible: separate obvious recyclables and green/food waste since a lot of California facilities route those differently.
  • Have gloves, straps, and a plan for where each item will go before getting to the tipping area; the drop zone is dusty and it moves quickly when busy.
