Greenwaste Recovery is a local waste disposal site on E Gish Road that sees a mix of neighborhood drop-offs and small-hauler traffic. Neighbors use it for household cleanouts and yard debris, so expect a steady flow on busy days.
Pull up to an entrance booth where vehicles are directed before moving into the tipping area. There’s usually a scale to cross, so plan for a stop on the way out if the site charges by weight. The yard looks industrial - piles, bays and heavy equipment - and trucks come and go, so drive slowly through the site. Recycling/green material areas are typically separated from general loads, so having things pre-sorted makes the process quicker.

Before You Go
- Bring a tarp and straps to keep loose material contained while driving; it’s common to be checked as you enter and debris can blow out on the street.
- Sort materials at home into piles (recyclables, green waste, trash) so unloading at the right spot is faster - California often requires separation of organics and recyclables.
- Avoid mid-morning weekends if possible; spring and summer cleanup days get backed up, and arriving earlier or later in the day usually cuts wait time.
