Mid Valley Disposal

401 W Olive Ave #1, Madera, CA 93637

Mid Valley Disposal is the local disposal site in Madera where residents bring household trash and clean-out loads. Neighbors, landscapers and small contractors use it for dropping off bulk material and routine garbage. It’s the kind of spot people visit when the curbside pickup won’t take something or when a truckload needs unloading.

Expect an entrance with a small check-in point and a scale - sites like this usually weigh vehicles and charge by weight, so there’s a stop on the way in and again on the way out. The property is mostly open lots and piles, with a few roll-off areas and compacted dirt surfaces rather than paved lanes. Signs and simple fencing mark different drop-off zones, and sorting of recyclables and organics is commonly required in California, so there are separate spots for those materials nearby. Lines can form on weekends and during seasonal cleanups, so traffic at the gate can slow things down.

Before You Go

  • Bring a tarp or straps to keep loose material contained; loads that spill can cause extra hassle and slow the process.
  • Arrive midweek or early in the morning to avoid the longest lines; big trucks and trailers tend to show up later in the day and on weekends.
  • Pre-sort materials as much as possible - separating recyclables and green waste ahead of time saves time at the drop-off and avoids surprises with separation requirements.
