County landfill serving Willows and nearby communities, where household and larger loads end up being buried. A working site with heavy equipment and a vehicle scale that people from homes and businesses use when they need final disposal.
Drive up to an entrance booth and be prepared to stop on a scale-charges are generally by weight with tipping fees and often a minimum charge for small loads. The site is open, dusty, and dominated by piles of compacted material and big earth-moving machines; recycling bins are usually set off to the side after the entrance. Commercial-sized trucks are commonly handled at county landfills, so expect bigger vehicles and scheduled commercial deliveries mixed in with residential drop-offs.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover and secure loose trash before hauling it; wind blows debris easily at the tipping area.
- Separate recyclables and organics at the driveway if possible-California rules mean many things need to be kept out of the landfill.
- Avoid weekend mornings and spring cleanup weekends if possible; lines and wait times tend to grow then.
