Del Norte Solid Waste Management Authority

Small county solid waste facility in Crescent City that locals and small contractors use for household trash, yard debris and recyclables. Located on State St, it handles the usual mix of curbside-type loads and brush from property cleanups. Expect a working, no-frills place rather than a neat retail center.

There’s an entrance booth and a paved drive where vehicles pull up to be directed; a scale is common at places like this so plan for an extra stop on the way out. The site is mostly open yard with roll-off containers and piles for different materials, not landscaped or pretty - just practical. Recycling and yard-waste areas are usually separated from the general trash area, and traffic can back up on busy weekend mornings. Bring a vehicle that can maneuver around tight bays and have loads secured so nothing blows out while driving into the site.
