Eastlake Sanitary Landfill, 16015 Davis Avenue, Clearlake, 95422, California

Get Directions

Eastlake Sanitary Landfill sits off Davis Avenue in Clearlake and is where locals bring household and commercial loads when trash needs burying. It’s a working landfill - big equipment, graded dirt piles and the usual open, dusty look.

Drive in past a small entrance booth and you'll cross a scale; tipping fees are charged by weight, so expect to be weighed when you leave. Pull up to the scale lane and then follow traffic to the active tipping face where trucks unload and heavy machinery moves material. Recycling and drop-off bins are usually off to the right just past the entrance, and the whole site feels exposed and dusty in dry months. Lines build on weekends and during spring cleanup, so plan extra time if hauling a trailer or a commercial load.

Before You Go

  • Secure loads with tarps and tie-downs - wind and passing trucks can scatter debris while waiting or driving in.
  • Have paperwork ready for commercial loads and be prepared to separate yard/organic material if needed; California’s CalRecycle rules mean many places expect organics separated from trash.
  • Skip peak times when possible: weekend mornings and spring cleanup season are when traffic backs up the longest.
