What clients say about Puente Hills Material Recovery Facility in South Whittier (CA)
They have a great set of guys running this place. Everyone is always professional and knowledgeable. I run a junk removal business and dump regularly. This is my go to location.
NOTICE to those dumping dirt:
go to Scholl Canyon in Pasadena instead of here. More of a drive but they supposedly charge less than Puente hills.
I just paid $600 flat for dumping 5 tons of clean dirt.
Update- they no longer accept e waste!
Great drop off for electronic waste
Just drop off and leave
There’s no attendant, you literally drop off and you’re done
They are open 6 days a week!
Minimum is $94 even if it's 100% green waste. I also unloaded it all myself. No option to get a pull. They process it with the rest of the trash. Might as well go somewhere else.
We had some big trash at home that couldn't go into our regular trash bins for pickup, so I started looking around for city dumps. Puente Hills MRF was the closest facility to me.
This place looks nice to drive up to, and is well organized. There are signs as you drive up the road that let you know which lane you should stay in for your dumping. upon arrival at the scales make sure you follow the clearly posted signs; it'll make your experience easier. The staff was courteous all throughout, and they ensure you're safe. A must have is a breathing mask; it's hard to breath with all the dust and fumes. Also, you'll need a reflective construction vest, but if you don't have one they sell them for $4.00. I dumped some drywall and 2x4s, a small truckload. The cost was $82.00.
They need to work on something to get these lines moving quicker. Weigh in isn't too bad but the weigh out is just ridiculous. Takes 5 min to dump the trash but an hour to weigh out.
Had some material to haul away. This place was a good choice. $77 a load and there is no waiting if you go early, mid week.
Remember to bring a reflective safety vest or they have them for sale. You can't get in there without one.
Lol...I never thought I would be asked to review a municipal dump/recycle center before.
Sorry no photos of the mountains of refuse they have there.
Many times when I've been waiting to weigh out they ignore me and deal only with people weighing in. I once changed from one weigh out scale to another (after not getting a response for at least 20 minutes) and was yelled at that I shouldn't have changed scales.
A very organized and funcional landfill. You come in, your vehicle & waste are weighed and you are charged accordingly. I had roughly over half a ton of concrete & was charged $60. Other sites would’ve charged me $80. Then you are given a ticket and you are directed to where you can safely dispose of your waste. A big heads up, bring a safety vest or you will have to purchase one !
The Puente Hills Materials Recovery Facility is an alternative for trash disposal in the City of Industry area. It is located within the Puente HIlls Landfill property and uses the same entrance as the landfill on 13130 Crossroads Parkway. Currently the MRF is open Monday-Friday 5:30 am to 3:30 pm.
