3899 Santa Rosa Ave, Santa Rosa, CA 95407
(707) 586-6666A local disposal site on Santa Rosa Ave that folks in the neighborhood use for household cleanouts and smaller contractor drop-offs. Located a few blocks from downtown, it’s the kind of place people swing by when the curbside pickup won’t do.
Drive up to a single entrance with an attendant booth and a scale nearby; there’s usually a short stop to check the load and record weight. The property is mostly open yards and piles with traffic lanes for trucks and pickups to pull forward to the tipping area. Recycling and organics are handled separately in this county, so expect separate drop spots or cages rather than everything dumped in one pile. Weekends and spring cleanup times get busy, so lines and waiting are common.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort recyclables and organic material ahead of time - California rules mean staff will point you to separate drop spots and it saves time.
- Have loads tarped and secured for the drive in; loose debris can slow unloading and create extra hassle.
- Bring a picture of your address or utility bill if proving local residency might be needed, and plan for possible queues on Saturdays and holidays.
