HEADS UP. To avoid spending an unnecessary $15 extra dollars: MAKE SURE YOUR LOAD IS SECURED, upon arrival. I was told you can use straps, tarps, or other netting.
The process was easy and straight forward. I just wish I had known about the extra fee. Lesson learned.
Wrong hours, Google. They close at 4 PM! I requested that Google change this two years ago and they still haven’t. I bicycled all the way out here only to find them closed.
I saw someone giving cupcakes to the cashier one day and I said "Wow can I pay w/ delicious cupcakes also?" and the cashier smiled then gave ME a cupcake! So, now I bring them cupcakes whenever I go.
I dropped off an old mattress (free for CA residents) and they were all very nice and friendly. The people at the entrance even gave my dog a treat.
I came today, a Saturday, which I thought would be really busy, but was in and out in about 5 minutes.
Haven't been in quite a while. Checking in on my former coworkers. Repaired solid waste equipment there for 28+ years. Ahhhh still smells the same. Was a great place to work. Still use the dumping facility, when needed. Sometimes very busy & slow getting to the weight station.
Very nice place for debris removal, great pricing, friendly staff. I’ve been coming here for over 15 years, great experience every time! Finding the right time to come here is key, they’re usually very busy and be sure to secure your load!
Good guys, pretty busy but fast in and out.. Had a problem with my debit card not having a chip so they would not accept it for some reason, had to do an over the phone payment. But over all a good place to go dump trash at!
There's usually a line to get in. Employees are all very friendly and helpful. Reasonable prices and regulations. Getting back out is fast. Well run facility!
Like this better. It beats Republic hands down. Republic charges to much to dump a truck full of garbage. Berkeley is better if I lived in Berkeley Alameda county
I’ve been using this establishment since 1990. Always a great group of people who have great and independent personalities.
The price is a third of Richmond’s dump fees and less than half of Davis Street San Leandro’s fees.
Never had a problem. I’ve even gotten a free dump when their computer system shut down. I think I saved myself $200 that day! It was a very heavy load!
Expect long lines.
Went on Tuesday afternoon and took almost an hour to get through the line to get in.
But once I was in, it was easy to dump and be on my way.
$29 to dump some old exercise equipment.
They charge by weight. You know what you’re going to pay here. Richmond landfill eyeballs your load and charges by volume. I found Berkeley is WAY cheaper.
Best run facility bar none. Always cordial and professional. Consistent, easy, quick, reasonable, smooth, no BS. I shouldn't be giving this away, but it's the only 5 star facility in its category.
