Imperial Waste Site
Imperial Waste Site, 1705 West Worthington Road, Imperial, 92251, California
Imperial Waste Site sits at 1705 West Worthington Road and is the local spot people use when the weekly pickup won't handle a big load. Neighbors drop off household junk, yard clippings, and the occasional construction haul here.
A small entrance booth marks the driveway; pull up to it first and wait your turn. You’ll cross a scale on the way in - sites like this often charge by weight, so expect to stop again on the way out. The yard is mostly open dirt and concrete with big piles and roll-off containers; backing room can be tight when it’s busy. Recycling bins are off to the right just past the entrance booth, easy to miss if not looking.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover and tie down loose loads - Worthington Road gets gusty and stuff can blow out in traffic.
- Avoid peak weekend crush by coming earlier in the morning on weekdays if possible; long lines are common during spring cleanup.
- Bring someone to help spot when backing a trailer or pickup; the ground is uneven and sightlines around piles are poor.
