WASTE (TRASH) TRANSFER STATION
The City operates a waste transfer station for the convenience of City residents located just south of the intersection of Shoreline Drive and South Sunset Boulevard. Regular hours are 7:30am to 4:00pm on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays from April - October (months may vary). During winter months, November - March (months may vary), the station will be closed on Tuesdays, but will remain open on Thursdays and Saturdays from 7:30am to 4:00pm. Excess yard waste, tree limbs, trunks and stumps, non-hazardous construction scraps, old furniture, appliances, etc., may be dropped off for disposal. A fee is charged to cover transportation and disposal costs from the transfer station. Current fees are available at this link. There are also containers for recyclable deposit (cardboard, plastic, and metals).
You should NOT direct or expect home contractors or landscapers to be able to benefit from the transfer station convenience. The City does not offer large item pickup service. Many furniture and appliance retailers will dispose of your old furniture or appliance for free when they deliver the new one.
