Lovelace Transfer Station

Get there early if you go on a Saturday as line backs up. They pretty much take anything and everything except for a few hazardous items. Price-​wise they are the most reasonable around. Make sure you cover your load as cops hang around the local streets.

Came here to dispose of antifreeze after replacing my radiator in my vehicle. They will take up to 5 gallons of antifreeze for disposal for free.

Update!!! Since ¹⁄₂₀₁₃ now ¹⁰⁄₂₀₁₄ The new guy at the cash booth is getting to be really fast, and is keeping up nicely most days… And isn’t helping 2 – 4 residential trucks before us commercial trucks anymore… Thanks man! Keep up the good work!

Ditto on the Parent Crap reviewed by Adam R. Anyway this is the place to dispose of whatever shit you don’t want. There are big signs there making sure no one scavenges your private or personal items. Which is great because then this leaves much more stuff for the employees here to share later.
If you do see something you really like in the dump, then drive southbound on airport way about half a mile on a friday or saturday and you will be bound to see it for sale along the left side of the road.
Also make sure to shred all private items as the sanitary workers are quick to pickup whatever catches their eye as they stroll by your recently dumped garbage. Gross but I think that is how they entertain themselves and supplement their living.

For some strange reason my parents’ lifestyle (I assume mostly my dad’s lifestyle) resulted in the creation of an enormous amount of garbage. So much so, in fact, that as children my brother and I were conscripted to ride along with dad to the dump to go unload a truck full of crap every few weeks (or months, maybe; time is kind of a fuzzy concept when you’re young). I don’t know how my brother felt about it, but it was up in my top three least favorite things to do.
Even the obligatory stop at Beattie’s Market (now closed) in French Camp for ice-​cream didn’t make the pain go away. God I was a lazy child.
Buy anyway, this is a perfectly good place to dispose of any large items you have.
