North Area Recovery Station

A local disposal site for North Highlands residents, serving people hauling household and yard refuse. Easy to spot on Roseville Road near the industrial stretch; neighbors swing by with pickups, trailers, or carloads.

There’s usually an entrance area with a booth and a scale-many California stations charge by weight, so expect to stop at the scale when coming in and again on the way out. The site is paved and open, with piles and containers visible from the driveway; pull in, check in at the booth, then follow staff or signage to where to unload. Recycling and organic sorting is commonly required here, so separate loads ahead of time when possible. Weekends, especially spring cleanup days, tend to get backed up, so lines can form at the gate.
