In June of 2025 I dropped off hazardous materials including paint and medical waste. The staff were kind and helpful, giving me instructions for my waste drop off as well. The guy that weighed the vehicle beforehand even gave me a Jolly Rancher :).
Wow this place is so well run. Did you know SF residents get free hazardous material disposal (and they’ll even come to your house to pick it up!)? You can also dump anything you want for reasonable prices and the experience is really great and quick. Covered dump area that is really clean and well run.
All dumps have a min. It's all about how much time you want to spend on the trip. Across the way at Blue Line the min was $40 last I checked but it takes you an hour to get in and out. I never waited at this location. I only wished they were open Saturdays.
A fine dump, but note there's a **$50 MINIMUM** regardless of how much stuff you have to drop off, which would've been great to know ahead of time. I just had some extra cardboard/boxes to get rid of that wouldn't fit in our bin, normally dumps go by weight but a $50 minimum is a bit ridiculous.
DO NOT DUMP CARDBOARD HERE. There is a Recology recycling center on Pier 97 that will pay you for cardboard, if you take it here you have to pay at least $50. They explained this to me and told me how to get there; facility looks clean, line was short, staff was nice.
Was able to recycle 150 lbs of moving boxes and styrofoam for $50. There was a line of cars waiting to get in at 7am but it moves pretty quick as there are about a dozen drop off stalls
Always an easy and hassle free spot to take all the junk you want to get rid of.
The recycling/refund line is always super long, but that's a different line so just go right in if you are only there to drop off trash and/or bulk items.
If youre looking for a garbage collection facility near or at San Francisco this is the place for you, they weigh your truck/ vehicle no eyeballing and personnel are courteous dont forget to cover your haul its the rule
Good place to dump practically everything, their minimum is $50 as of 2019. When you drive in look to the right, there should be a person guiding you with instructions on where to go next, the first line to the right is for pay back recycle, the second line further in is the scale for general dumping.
I like everything else. Except the price. They charge by weight. $184+ per ton. If you have less or half they just charge you the amount of weight you have, but I feel it a little pricey.
Dropped off a bunch of junk from our move. The guys working here were incredibly friendly. And a (very) full SUV load of junk only cost $40 to drop, since we were still within the smallest weight allowance
