Get Directions

The Independence Disposal Site is the little town dump at the end of Dump Road that locals use for household cleanouts and small-load drop-offs. It’s the practical kind of place-used by residents and local haulers when there’s no nicer alternative in town.

Drive up to a simple entrance with an attendant booth and a scale you cross coming and going, since most places like this charge by weight. The yard is an open lot with piles of material and a few drop points set back from the entrance; expect gravel, dust, and a utilitarian feel rather than anything paved and tidy. Recycling and green/organics areas are usually separate from the main trash drop, so having things sorted before pulling in makes the process faster. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, tend to be the busiest times and lines can form.

Before You Go

  • Pre-sort loads into trash, recyclables and anything that looks like green/organic material-California places often separate those and it saves time on-site.
  • Secure tarps and tie-downs on trailers; the approach and the yard can be dusty and loose debris likes to fly out on windy days.
  • Bring gloves and a shovel or grabber so unloading is quicker, and park so you can pull forward onto the scale again when it’s time to leave.
