You’ve just completed a project and you are wondering what to do with that old wood or carpet or bathroom fixture.  There are 2 options:

  1. Every year on the first Thursday in February and the first Thursday in August, the Desert Center Landfill is open for free. The February date is a Lake Tamarisk annual event where residents with trucks and trailers will come by and take whatever you have to throw out including furniture, construction materials, appliances, hazardous materials, electronics, etc.
  2. The 2nd option is the Coachella Transfer Station located at 87011 Landfill Road, Coachella, CA 92236. Click here to see what kind of materials they take.  A standard pick-up bed full costs $14. If you have more than that, the cost is by weight. They are open Mondays thru Saturdays.
