Tehama County/Red Bluff Landfill

Tehama County/Red Bluff Landfill, 19995 Plymire Rd, Red Bluff, 96080, California

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.

Before You Go

  • Cover and tie down loose loads before leaving home-windblown debris slows unloading and can spread across the site.
  • Be ready to be weighed: know roughly what’s in your truck so there are no surprises with tipping fees, and unload methodically to keep traffic moving.
  • Avoid mid-morning weekends during big cleanup months; a weekday morning usually moves faster and is less chaotic.
