Siskiyou County, CA Trash & Recycling: Bulk Item Disposal (2026)

Siskiyou County handles bulky-waste disposal through its transfer stations rather than scheduled curbside bulky pickups, with a published fee schedule from the Department of General Services. Confirmed fees include: appliances at $5.00 each for standard household items, with refrigeration units containing Freon at $25.00 — and the County requires that 'doors must be removed from refrigerators and freezers before disposal.' Furniture is $10.00 per item residential ($20.00 commercial). Mattresses and box springs are accepted free, with a maximum of 2 per day. Tires vary by size and rim status ($3.50–$7.50 residential), and the County recently noted that several transfer stations are not accepting rimmed tires. Electronic waste (e-waste) is $2.00 each. Green/yard waste is $10.15 per cubic yard or $86.00 per ton. Several materials are accepted free when properly separated, including scrap metal, paint (no leaking containers), used oil, and recyclables. General loose garbage runs $10.15/cubic yard (loose) or $39.11/cubic yard (compacted), with a $7.00 minimum fee. Residents 55+ can have the $7.00 minimum waived on designated weekly senior days. Because there is no countywide curbside bulky-item program, residents must transport these items themselves to an open transfer station; illegal dumping of bulky items is enforced as a nuisance and health violation.
