Tehama County/Red Bluff Landfill on Plymire Road is where locals and haulers drop off household junk, construction debris, and larger commercial loads from the Red Bluff area. This is a true landfill-material gets buried rather than sent through a sorting line-so expect a utilitarian, dusty site rather than a tidy recycling center.
Pull up to an entrance area with a booth and a scale; tipping fees at landfills are generally charged by weight, so expect to be weighed and to stop again on the way out. The site is mostly dirt roads and working piles, with heavy trucks moving around-give big rigs plenty of room to maneuver. In California many facilities separate organics from regular trash, so have yard waste and green material sorted if possible. Weekends and spring cleanup season bring the longest lines, so plan timing accordingly.
