Waste Facility
Sierra Army Depot
Sierra Army Depot, 74 Currant Street, Herlong, 96113, California
Sierra Army Depot at 74 Currant Street in Herlong is where locals take community trash and small disposal loads. Big fenced compound with open yards and industrial ramps - it feels built for trucks more than sedans.
Pull up to an entrance booth and a vehicle scale and be prepared to stop for direction on where to drop things. The site is a mix of pavement and gravel, so it gets dusty in dry months and can be muddy or slick after storms. Recycling and drop-off bins are usually off to the side past the entrance, with larger piles and roll-off areas further into the yard. Weekends and spring-cleanup season bring the longest waits, so expect some line time.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort loads at home - separating recyclables and green/organic material (California often requires organics separation) will speed things along.
- Tie down and tarp any loose material; open yards and wind can send debris everywhere during unloading.
- Try for a midweek or late-afternoon visit to avoid weekend backups, and allow extra time if bringing a larger truck or trailer.
