Eastlake Landfill

Eastlake Landfill is the big burial site for household and commercial trash for the Clearlake area. Local residents and haulers both use it when garbage or construction debris needs to be disposed of for good. The place handles large volumes, so plan for a truck-scale operation rather than a small drop-off.

Drive up to an entrance booth and be prepared to pull onto a scale - tipping fees are charged by weight at landfills in California, so expect to stop on the way in and again on the way out. There’s a wide paved drive with staff directing traffic when it’s busy, and the working face and cover areas are visible from the approach. Commercial loads are accepted at this kind of facility, though charges differ from residential rates. Lines can build up on weekends and during spring cleanup, so allow extra time.
