Good place to recycle ... They take mattresses, appliances, recycling for free they also take limited amounts of paint for free ... One truck bed full to the roof nothing sticking out is $40 better than any other landfills that want to charge you twice as much... There is a limit on some types of wood you can dispose of there they do not take pressure-treated wood there ...

Good people helpful. The wait is the only draw back but they do the best with what comes in.

Prices and waits are insane. Scales are off also. Truck and trailer is always about 13300lbs dry give or take about 100-200lbs because of fuel. Was 12600 leaving and I had another body in the truck. Was about 600lbs under on exit scale which make you pay more as if you dumped more.

Came later Saturday and the lady working was one of the sweetest people I've met in a while, came back Sunday night and the lady working was for no reason at all probably one of the rudest people I've talked to in a long time. Would have left a 1 star but the nice lady came in clutch for you guys. I also spent about 400 dollars for 3 dump runs. The Lincoln one and one of Stockton blvd both would have costed me 120-150. Prices are completely insane, on top of that they will charge a 25 dollar fee if u don't have your stuff tied down, even if its completely solid heavy metal objects that are no where near the height of your trailer. Last thing ill have is this place is the worst smelling and dirtiest dump I've been to in Sacramento, be careful where you step when you get out of your car

It's not too bad certain times of the day you have to wait really long but other than that it's not too bad

Terrible place, complete rip-off, totally disorganized and poorly managed, wasted about an hour waiting in long lines. Worse than that, they charge a $50 MINIMUM for anything you drop off! I didn't see any signs about that, and the lazy attendant at the entrance really should have said that when I told him how few items I had. Avoid this dump!!

Long wait and terrible traffic control and expensive too. Go anywhere but here. Worst dump in the area.

Wait time is the issue… everything else is fine, be careful with nails on the ground

Always busy very chaotic. They charge a lot and they have a stupid rule that if you don't strap down your waste, they charge you and additional 25 dollars

Very long wait time and super expensive. $40 to get rid of a small wooden futon frame... they had a huge wait with over 25 vehicles backed up and maybe 10% of the dump stalls being used. Just makes no sense when there could have been literally no wait.

All and all it's a quick and easy experience at a decent price but there is nails and pieces of metal all over that usually ends up in one of my tires.

I know they're doing some new construction right now and I hope that improves the efficiency in the future, but right now the wait times are absolutely horrible. For like the last month, every time I've gone there, the line has been almost out to the street and it moves one car length every 20 minutes. Totally unacceptable. I'm not shocked at all I'm starting to see piles of garbage all around town. People probably try to do the right thing first, then go find a secluded spot and dump their trash nearby. There's piles of trash all over Roseville Road nearby. I know it's a county building so nobody's going to care about bad reviews but let this be a warning if you plan on making a dump run. You'll be there half the day.

The waiting time to dump garbage has consistently increased, in addition to the fees for the exact same service. I spend a ridiculous amount of time, (45 minutes to 75 minutes) waiting for the scale, then queuing up in the right line, then actually dumping the refuse, and then waiting another line to weigh out and pay the bill. There are definitely not enough of these transfer stations around the greater Sacramento area. The lines are always extremely long. I see why people illegally dump.

As usually... they keep a lot of empty dumping spots and the few hours line to dump here...

Everyone is nice here but they put a dump in a horrible location and there's no prioritization here, It's quite obvious that this is more meant for commercial than residential they barely prioritize any bays for residential. Out of the 8 bays maybe 2-3 max will be allowed for residential. Big mess takes forever. Better off driving to yolo county landfill. It cost me $40 to throw away 2 small sofas and I burned $20 of diesel in line waiting for an hour.

I have never been to a transfer station so slow. I happen to be working in the area and needed a dump run. Waited in line 1 hours to be able to dump a load. Staff member didn't even apologize for such a long wait.

Poor customer service. I went to Hazardous Waste to drop off my empty gas container. I parked my car, took my gas container and walked in. The guy told me to go back and drive my car. I told him can I just drop it of here since I am here. The guy told me "no". I told him "why"? He got frustrated and repeated the same thing. He did not explain why I should drive in instead of walking in. Unfortunately I don't know his name but he had long blond hair. He needs to learn some customer service skills.

This hazardous waste removal and disposal site was easy to find. I simply drove in (getting out your car is not allowed nor recommended) and someone came out right away to help me. He opened up the liftgate to my car, unloaded the boxes, and took them inside the facility. Bring your driver's license (or ID) as they do check. It is also strongly encouraged to dispose of your hazardous waste ONCE a month, instead of weekly. Thank you for the efficient and quick service!

They accept pretty much every type of waste here with separated areas for electronics, green waste, palm (palm is separated from all other green waste), rock, metal, tires, mattresses, etc. Hazardous waste is accepted at no charge but is open for limited hours. (Check their website for specific days and times). General waste is $40 per truck load. Tip - If you don't need to weigh out you do not need to wait in the exit line. Go into the far right lane on your way out.

The prices are way out of line. Ridiculous that a regular size pick up is $20 more than just about every other side of the vehicle. Plus the spotters don’t pay attention when you drive up and are super rude when you ask them what you’re supposed to do, particularly the girl, she was the worst if you’re expecting decent customer service. She clearly needs another job. Signage is poor and this really no a place to come to if you want decent service and have other options.

Absolute bs. Pricing rates are not clear on the website and overpriced minimums at that. Have a truck bed made into a trailer, and because it is a trailer (only differnce being it cant power itself), the minimum is more expensive than a regular truck. Never using this place again.

Because Sacramento County does not provide a way to give them feedback to review their home location, I have to post this here. Deal with it. Thanks to meat and food waste collection, my green waste can has a maggot infestation. This is going to happen more and more now that this material is not stored in plastic kitchen garbages preventing flies and mosquitoes using the green can as a hatchery. Please see attached picture of what you will be facing soon enough

A very long wait. But the staff was very nice and did the best they could to keep things moving

Yes, they increased their prices by a lot, but they posted the changes well in advance. It was a bargain before, and is still reasonable compared to other northern California landfills. The staff has always been professional, courteous and well informed. Long lines are long lines - not their fault and managed well. Appliances and many items are free to dump. It would be great if they took other various items for free, but hey- that needs to be considered on the consumer side, not the landfill side.. Overall, always a fair and good experience. Thank you.

They are practicing social distancing as they should. Takes a while to get in but everyone was nice and they were professional. Only so many vehicles at a time. Go early and save yourself some time. Nice tidbit - mattresses and box springs are free to drop off. No charge. That's what I was there to drop off and was pleasantly surprised to see that. I was expecting a hefty charge as all the fees have gone up.

Pricing is fair and the employees are usually friendly, that’s the only reason they got two stars. The lay out is horrible, wait times can be upwards of 2 hours. I’ve picked up nails in my tires and they could careless. They definitely could be better about keeping the area cleaner and more organized.

Long lines all the time takes you at least an hour need to figure out a better system then letting pickup truck go ahead of all the people with trailers to merge in when you get front meanwhile 10 trucks the come in after you get to go ahed. But its ran by govt. So what else should you expect besides terrible service

The staff are a strict and personable at the same time. I learn something new each time I go.There is no need for identification untill you're cost exceeds $20.

They people who work here have a good attitude. They explained that Has.Mat. was closed on Sunday & Monday, However, appliances are accepted, 2 per day for free all 7 days. The procedure for acceptance is different on Sunday & MONDAY, as there is only one part open and the signage is changed appropriately to acommodate SUNDAY & MONDAY

I own JunkBeast junk removal and this is the first place I go to dispose of junk. They have space for my giant trailers to park and unload. I highly recommend this place.
