San Timoteo Solid Waste Disposal Site

San Timoteo Solid Waste Disposal Site in Redlands is where neighbors haul household trash, yard clippings and recyclables when the bin at home isn't enough. The place feels like a working dump - big trucks, piles of material, and open-air tipping areas rather than a tidy drop-off center.

There’s an entrance booth to check in, then most vehicles roll over a scale so be ready to stop twice. Large concrete bays and roll-off containers are visible from the main drive; watch for heavy equipment and big haulers weaving around. The ground can be dusty and uneven, and weekends - especially during spring cleanup - get backed up with a line of pickups and trailers. California rules mean people often sort out yard waste and food-related organics before pulling up, so expect to see separate piles or areas for different material types.
