Dump fees in Fresno: what the transfer stations charge

Fresno has two main places to dump a load: the Cedar Avenue Recycling and Transfer Station (CARTS) in Fresno, and the American Avenue Disposal Site, the Fresno County landfill near Kerman. Each charges a gate fee based on the load. [TODO: current gate fees at both sites, dated]

Which one to use

CARTS is the shorter drive from most of Fresno and Clovis. American Avenue is the county landfill, a longer drive west. [TODO: which site takes which materials]

What isn’t accepted

Paint, solvents, chemicals, motor oil, fuel, propane tanks and car batteries are household hazardous waste and need a separate drop-off. [TODO: Fresno-area household hazardous waste site and each site’s accepted-materials rules]
