Mid Valley Disposal is a local disposal site in south Fresno used by homeowners, landscapers, and small contractors dropping off household and yard material. People from the neighborhood come here for straightforward drop-offs rather than long-haul transfers. Expect a functioning, workmanlike place that handles everyday community loads.
Drive in on S Elm and follow the lane toward the entrance where there is typically an intake point and a place to tell staff what is being dropped off. Facilities in California often operate on a weight basis, so plan on stopping at a scale and then again when leaving. Areas for recycling and organics separation are commonly marked nearby, so sorted loads move faster. The site looks like a working yard - piles of material, heavy equipment, and bordered drop-off bays rather than landscaped grounds.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort recyclables and green/organic material before getting out of the vehicle; separate piles usually speed the visit.
- Secure loose loads and tarp anything that could blow off during the drive in - it makes unloading safer and quicker.
- Avoid weekend mornings if possible; midweek or late afternoons tend to be less crowded at neighborhood disposal sites.
