Drove all the way there from my place in Rosedale while a cleaning my property after ordered by county officials to clean up all clutter on my property only to be refused service and wasting $20 of my gas Also they refused service to another hispanic guy who arrived at the same time I did of about 3:40 pm THEY NOW OWE ME $20 for wasting my gas and Tomorrow morning I will be driving the SAME LOAD out to the Shafter Landfill and IF i am refused service then I will go on out to the Delano Landfill and IF I AM AGAIN REFUSED SERVICE I WILL return home for the day then at MIDNIGHT i will drive out to the BOONDOCKS AND DUMP OUT THERE!!! and the stupid DUMMKOPF county officials have NO ONE BUT THEMSELVES to blame for all the "illegal dumping"!

Great landfill, easy to use and the workers are really helpful and friendly. Wish all landfills and recycle centers were this simple.

Employees are always friendly. This place is just like the rest of California, yes that's right a absolute dump. If they took most of the homeless people that like to throw trash everywhere going through stuff and employed them out here as sorters a few methacan Americans to organize and clean this place would still be a dump.

This place is a DUMP. People discard their trash like it was a landfill (it is). The recycling section (breathable air) has places for wood, appliances, metals, inert solids, plastics and lots of dumptsters for trash, too. You go up to the landfill on top if you want to dump and go. The sign says "Dead Animals $70 a ton". Not real sure if they were buying or selling "mystery meats". They weigh your truck on the way in and out, but I have never been charged. No scavenging unless you are a seagull or crow.
