Where else can I take my trash?
Non-Orange County citizens call 1-(714)-834-4000.
Orange County citizens may take their trash to privately
owned transfer stations for a fee.
A transfer station is a solid waste facility where smaller
refuse collection vehicles dump their loads of waste onto
a tipping floor. This waste is then placed into larger
transfer vehicles for transport to the point of ultimate
disposal. Use of this type of facility reduces hauling
costs and also reduces the number of trucks on the highway.
There are 5 private transfer stations located in Orange
County. Please call the facilities to confirm their policies
