This is the local Resource Management Agency drop-off in Visalia for residents bringing household trash and other routine loads. Neighbors, landscapers and small haulers use it when curbside pickup won't do or for bigger cleanups. California rules mean expect sorting of recyclables and organics at many sites, so plan for that.
Pull up to an entrance booth where someone checks you in and directs you; there’s a scale nearby so most vehicles get weighed before and after. The site is fairly large with open tipping areas and rows of containers; trucks and trailers are common on busy days. Recycling and green material bins are usually grouped off to one side, while trash drops are on the main pad. Lines form on weekends and during spring cleanups, so drivers often queue on the approach road before getting to the booth.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring loads already separated-put recyclables and organics in a different area of the truck or trailer to avoid extra handling.
- Use a shorter trailer or leave loose items contained; loose trash can blow around on windy days and slows unloading.
- Plan to arrive early on weekends or holidays if possible, since cars and trucks stack up and wait times can stretch.
