Summary
Glenn County does not advertise a routine curbside bulky-item pickup. Large and bulky metal objects such as auto and truck bodies, abandoned vehicles, and farm machinery must go to specially designated disposal areas or commercial scrap dealers. Residents typically self-haul bulky waste to the Glenn County Transfer Station near Artois.
Automobile and truck bodies, abandoned motor vehicles, and other large and bulky metal objects such as farm machinery and equipment, shall be deposited in specially designated disposal areas only, or shall be disposed of through commercial scrap metal dealers.
Full Breakdown
Glenn County's code addresses large and special wastes through its disposal-area rules rather than a scheduled bulky pickup. 120 prohibits dumping or letting refuse accumulate on private or public property except as the chapter allows. For everyday bulky items, the practical option is self-haul to the County's solid-waste facility: the Glenn County Transfer Station, operated by the Public Works Solid Waste Division and located at 5700 County Road 33 near Artois, is the County's disposal site, with gate fees set in the County's solid-waste fee schedule.
The franchised hauler's Glenn County page does not list a standard included bulky-item pickup, so residents should contact Waste Management or the County Solid Waste Division to arrange large-item disposal or special pickups and to confirm current fees.
Violations & Fines
Illegally dumping bulky items, appliances, vehicles, or other large waste on private or public property violates Sections 7.08.120 and 7.08.160 and is enforceable as an infraction (misdemeanor on repeat offenses). Abandoned dumped material can be abated as a nuisance with the cost charged to the responsible party, and hazardous-waste violations can trigger additional state and federal penalties under Section 7.08.170.
