Vulcan Materials Company Pleasanton Landfill

Vulcan Materials Company Pleasanton Landfill is the big spot off El Charro Road where people haul stuff that can't go in regular pickups. Neighbors, landscapers, and contractors all use this kind of landfill when they have large or heavy loads. It's the kind of place for anything that ends up being buried rather than recycled or composted.

There’s a weigh scale near the entrance and vehicles usually stop there both coming in and again on the way out because charges are weight-based. An attendant booth sits by the driveway, then traffic is directed toward tipping areas and cover zones; the site itself looks industrial-large dirt piles, heavy equipment, and compacted cells. Expect separate spots or instructions for recyclables and organics since California requires diversion and many loads are sorted before dumping. Weekends and spring cleanup times get busy, so there can be a line of trucks waiting to get on the scale.
