Small-town landfill on Clear Creek Road serving Igo and nearby areas. Locals, landscapers and haulers bring household and commercial loads here as the final place for burying trash. It's the kind of place you go when there's no other option for large or mixed loads.
Pull up to an entrance booth and be prepared to be weighed - there's usually a scale near the entrance so vehicles stop twice. The site is a working dirt-and-gravel operation with compacted cells and heavy equipment moving about; visibility is open but dusty on dry days. Commercial trucks are handled here alongside residential pickups, and tipping fees are charged by weight rather than by item. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanups, so expect some wait time during busy periods.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loose material and tarps tight; wind and trucks can scatter debris and cause extra hassle when tipping.
- Separate obvious recyclables and organics at home if possible - California rules often mean those need to be dealt with before dumping.
- Bring ID and any required load paperwork for commercial drops, and plan for weekend backups during peak seasons.
