City of Tulare Solid Waste on S K St is where locals drop off household trash, yard clippings and whatever else can't wait for curbside pickup. Neighbors, landscapers and small contractors use this spot; it's the municipal solid waste facility for Tulare.
Drive up to the entrance at 3981 S K St and you'll see a booth and a drive-on area where vehicles stop before entering the main yard. Many solid waste facilities use a scale, so expect to pause again on the way out since charges are commonly calculated by weight. There are separate areas for recycling and green waste at most sites like this, and big roll-off bins or concrete tipping pads are the norm, so back-up space and a bit of maneuvering room are useful.

Before You Go
- Bring a tarp and straps if hauling loose loads - wind and bumpy driving can make a mess during the trip in.
- Weekends and spring cleanup times get busy; arriving early in the day usually means a shorter line.
- Sort recyclables and yard waste before getting to the gate - California rules often require separation, so unloading goes faster when things are pre-sorted.
