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

Mono County provides bulky and large-waste disposal mainly through self-haul to its disposal facilities, with fees set by item type. The County publishes gate fee schedules (effective July 11, 2025) and directs residents to review the fee summary for the specific landfill or transfer station they plan to visit to learn disposal options and costs for items such as appliances, metal, soil, oil, and hazardous materials. The Pumice Valley Landfill and Transfer Station, the County's primary site since Benton Crossing closed, handles burial of construction and demolition (C&D) waste, processes clean wood waste for on-site beneficial reuse, and accepts old vehicles for a fee when the title is provided. Household hazardous waste and universal waste have limit charges and dedicated handling. For curbside subscribers, D&S Waste Removal includes one cubic yard of additional bulk waste per week (for example, broken-down boxes, bagged trash, and bundled yard trimmings under five feet long and five inches in diameter), but expressly excludes tires, batteries, large appliances, and hazardous waste, which must be taken to a facility that accepts them. Wood chips are available free at select facilities, and mattress recycling is offered at no cost, while carpet recycling is noted at $8 per load. Because exact per-item gate fees change with the published schedule and vary by site, residents should confirm current pricing directly with the facility before hauling large loads.
