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

Tehama County does not run a county-wide scheduled curbside bulky-item pickup; instead, residents of unincorporated areas dispose of furniture, appliances, mattresses and other large items by taking them to the Tehama County/Red Bluff Sanitary Landfill, located at 19995 Plymire Rd., Red Bluff. The site includes a Material Recovery Facility operating the same hours: Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m. and Saturday-Sunday 8:00 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Disposal is charged under the County's published tipping-fee schedule (FY 25-26) and is subject to the Landfill Acceptance Policy; certain items (such as appliances with refrigerants, tires, or hazardous materials) are handled under specific procedures and fees, and out-of-county waste is not accepted. Residents who subscribe to a private hauler may be able to arrange bulky-item collection through that company. Illegally dumping bulky items along county roads, on vacant lots, or at the landfill gate after hours is prohibited and enforced through Chapter 9.04 (Garbage, Refuse and Litter), the County's Illegal Dumping/Litter Abatement Program, and, where it creates blight, Chapter 10.16. For accepted materials, special-item fees and any household-hazardous-waste options, residents should consult the Landfill Agency's disposal pages or call the landfill.
