Where junk goes

Fresno has two main places a dump run ends up.

Site	Where	Hours	Fees
American Avenue Disposal Site	Fresno County landfill, west of the city near Kerman	[TODO: hours]	[TODO: gate fees]
Cedar Avenue Recycling and Transfer Station (CARTS)	Fresno, closer in for most of the city	[TODO: hours]	[TODO: gate fees]

[TODO: street addresses for both sites] CARTS is the shorter drive from most Fresno and Clovis addresses. American Avenue is the county landfill, a longer drive west. The gate fee is passed through at cost on every run. For current fees, see dump fees in Fresno, and for how cleanouts work, see junk removal and dump runs.

Store pickups

Large-item stores in Fresno and Clovis, in rough order of how central they are to the service area:

1. Costco, Clovis
2. Living Spaces, Fresno
3. Home Depot, Clovis
4. Costco, Fresno
5. Lowe’s, on the Herndon and Shaw corridors
6. Ashley, Big Lots, Walmart, Target and Mattress Firm

[TODO: pickup-area location and loading notes for each store]

There’s no IKEA in Fresno; the nearest is about ≈3 hours away. Here’s how furniture and large-item delivery works.

Bulky-item pickup, and the gap

The City of Fresno’s Operation Clean Up collects bulky items on a schedule by area, so your turn can be weeks away. Clovis runs its own, separate program. When a couch or mattress needs to go before the city comes by, that gap is where a BoxHauls run fits. [TODO: current Operation Clean Up schedule and exclusions, and the Clovis program]

Campus move weeks

Fresno State, Clovis Community College and Fresno City College drive three peaks: January and August for move-in, and May for move-out. Dorm loads usually fit in one pickup trip. Book early for those weeks. [TODO: this year’s move-in and move-out dates for each campus] See small moves by the trip.

Summer heat

From June through September, Fresno regularly tops 100°F. Refrigerators should go straight from the truck to an outlet, not sit in a hot driveway. Morning pickups are easier on everyone.

Clovis

Clovis is part of the service area, with the same formula and the same drivers. BoxHauls is headquartered at 3690 E. International, Clovis, CA 93619. Clovis’s bulky-item program is separate from Fresno’s.
