Republic Services Bel is the local Long Beach drop-off for household and small commercial trash needs, tucked in the industrial stretch off E 68th Street. Neighbors and contractors use it when bins or bulk pickups won’t do, especially for odd jobs or cleanouts.
Drive up to an entrance booth area where vehicles queue and staff direct traffic; a scale is typically on site so trucks and pickups are weighed and customers may need to stop both coming in and leaving. The layout is mostly open yard with large roll-off containers and a few concrete bunkers, and signage points toward where to unload. Expect to pull slowly and follow directions for where to dump - larger vehicles might be routed differently than cars or small trucks.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring straps or a tarp for loose loads; items blow around on windy days and tarps help keep everything contained while driving in.
- Try to come midweek or mid-morning if possible; weekends and spring cleaning times tend to have the longest lines.
- Have items sorted by type as much as possible before arriving so unloading goes faster and there's less back-and-forth at the drop points.
