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

For large or bulky items that do not fit in carts, unincorporated Shasta County relies on landfill and voucher programs rather than a built-in curbside bulky-pickup mandate. The County's landfill voucher program lets Waste Management residential customers living in unincorporated Shasta County dispose of up to three (3) cubic yards of household trash or up to three (3) bulky items at the Anderson Landfill. Residents may also self-haul bulky waste to disposal sites: the West Central Landfill (14095 Clear Creek Road, Igo, CA 96047; 530-396-2555) is owned by the County of Shasta and operated by the City of Redding and accepts commercial and residential solid waste from anywhere in the county. There are roughly ten transfer stations across Shasta County for residents in outlying areas. Certain materials are excluded from regular trash and bulky disposal and must go to dedicated programs - construction debris, auto parts, tires, hazardous materials, medical waste, and electronic waste are not accepted as ordinary trash. Household hazardous waste is handled separately (for example, the City of Redding Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility). Because subscription to garbage service is optional countywide, self-haul to the West Central Landfill or a transfer station is the baseline option for residents without curbside service. These arrangements apply to unincorporated Shasta County.
