Mid Valley Disposal is the local disposal site in Coalinga at 1255 W Elm Ave, used by residents and small haulers in the area. Lots of neighborhood traffic drops off household trash and bulky items here, especially on weekends and during seasonal cleanups.
Drive up to a small entrance area with a booth and a scale - disposal sites in California typically charge by weight, so expect to stop again on the way out. There are piles and roll-offs visible from the entrance, with recycling containers usually set off to one side. Vehicles pull up, unload to the appropriate pile or bin, then drive back over the scale to pay based on weight.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort recyclables and organics before getting to the site - California requires separation and it speeds things up at the drop-off.
- Cover loose loads so debris doesn’t fly out on the road and have items grouped by type to make unloading faster.
- Avoid late-afternoon weekends if possible; spring cleanup and holiday weeks commonly mean lines and longer waits.
