For all the money this place Makes they do a horrible job at keeping things moving, spent another hr of my day waiting in line just to dump trailer, this has been ongoing for months. Workers don’t have this kind of time during the day. Especially when doing multiple trips.

Service comparable to LA DMV. Everyone is angry and want to tell you what to do and where to park. It’s garbage it’s all going into the same hole in the ground. Leave us alone

Had some confusion happen on my most recent visit, ended up dumping half my load and heading to their hazohouse just to be turned around up the hill again. The staff were super friendly and communicative, and without even asking they remedied having to take the rest of the load back quickly. Great customer service, love our local WARC! ❤️

The instructions for how to use the facility is very simple. Don't speed in the lanes, keep close to the person in front of you, not required to give your license anymore (they picture your license plate), then you dump in an open spot, (or debris to with debris), then leave. Easy peasy! Employees are wonderful there's no reason to be aggressive with them at all, they're there to serve you.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Questions & Answers

CAN A COUCH BE DISPOSED OF THERE AND WHAT IS THE COST

marilyn parker | Aug 11, 2022
Judy Taylor | Aug 12, 2022

I saw a couch in one of the bins last time I went to the dump. The fee is a pretty standard $18.00 to dump up to a certain weight. It's a pretty high weight that I'm pretty sure a sofa would fit under that weight.

Judy Taylor | Aug 12, 2022

The fee is a pretty standard $18.00 to dump up to a certain weight. It's a pretty high weight that I'm pretty sure a kitchen range under. So I'm pretty sure you could dump it for $18.

How much does it cost to despose of stumps

Chris Cornell | Aug 11, 2022
Eric Burson | Aug 12, 2022

A stump with any dirt on it is charged garbage rates: $18 minimum for the first 300lbs. Then $120 per 2000lbs. No dirt on the stump will be charged as yard waste rates: $9 minimum for the first 400lbs then about $42 per 2000lbs. $2 charge for all debts and credit cards. Yep, that’s over 20% on a minimum yard waste fee. So bring cash if you plan to visit often.
