L & D Landfill Company
L & D Landfill Company, 8635 Fruitridge Road, Sacramento, 95826, California
L & D Landfill on Fruitridge Road is where people haul the stuff that won't fit in the curbside bin. Locals and commercial haulers both use it when construction debris, big household toss-outs, or yard clippings need to be taken off-site.
Drive up and there’s a scale and an entrance booth - tipping fees are charged by weight so expect to be weighed and then settled with at the booth. The site is mostly open dirt, compacted piles and roll-off trucks; pickups mix with big trucks so watch for backing vehicles. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, tend to be the busiest times and lines can form on Fruitridge Road.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Tie down and tarp loose loads before leaving home - the road and the site get dusty and loose debris blows everywhere.
- Be ready to drive over the scale and then pull up to the booth for payment; having straps, gloves and a clear unloading plan speeds things up.
- Separate green/organic material from mixed trash when possible - California often requires organics diversion, so keep yard waste apart in case local rules apply.
