Pebbly Beach Disposal Site is the small-town disposal spot Avalon residents use when something won't fit in the curb bins. Quiet, practical and no-frills, it sees a steady stream of household drops, yard clippings and the occasional furniture haul.
There’s a single entry lane with a small booth just inside the gate, so vehicles stop briefly before heading in. Most people cross a scale and then move on to open containers or tipping areas marked by signs; it’s not a multi-lane facility so maneuvering can feel tight. The surface is typically gravel or packed dirt and the place looks like a working yard-roll-off containers, piles of debris and the usual island-style clutter. Weekends and spring cleanup days fill up fast, so expect a line at peak times.
