Other notes
- Fees in effect since July 1, 2025. Most self-haul loads, including non-dumping trailers, are measured by the cubic yard at the public scale houses. Dump trailers and dump trucks are weighed and charged by the ton.
- Payment: cash, check, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay. American Express is not accepted, and you pay for each load when you drop it off.
- The Recycling Buyback Center pays California redemption value (CRV) refunds on glass, plastic and aluminum containers, up to 100 pounds of CRV material per day. Clean cardboard, mixed paper, newspaper and steel are taken free.
- Free e-waste includes computers, televisions, microwaves and phones. Tarp or tie down every load, which is required by law.
- Source note: WPWMA's web pages give the HHW limit as 15 gallons or 125 pounds per visit, while its price sheet says per day. Plan on one 15-gallon/125-pound load per day.
- The WPWMA office at 3013 Fiddyment Road is not the drop-off site. Use the 3195 Athens Avenue entrance.
