Dumping & Green Waste

DUMPSTER DAY 2025:  SATURDAY, JUNE 14th

On Saturday, June 14th, from 8 AM to 1 PM, Green Waste of Tehama County will send employees to assist customers in loading their yard waste into 20- and 40-yard dumpsters at the Mineral School. It's time to get ready to bring your yard waste over for free disposal. Thank you Green Waste of Tehama County for supporting our local conservation and preservation efforts!

Nothing to contribute on June 14th? Please help out the community by taking bags of yard waste piled alongside the streets by volunteer rakers cleaning up public areas to Mineral School for disposal on Dumpster Day. If at ANY TIME you can dispose of yard waste properly, please feel free to do so. Thanks, volunteers!

As a curbside customer, you can request pickup of six 32-gallon bags annually in addition to bi-weekly yard waste bin collection. To request service or pickup, call (530) 528-8500.

Some people are renting yard waste bins to clean up their properties.  Contact Green Waste of Tehama County to request a dumpster. More information can be found here: https://www.greenwasteoftehama.com/services/residential/residential-roll-off 

Community Clean-up Events

Each year, Green Waste hosts a clean-up event for residents of Mineral, Manton, and Paynes Creek at the Manton Transfer Station, where folks may unload trash, e-waste, and bulky items such as couches for 4 hours.  The event is free, regardless of subscriber status.  This is a service Green Waste provides in order to go above and beyond in helping to keep our communities junk-free and beautiful.  Please note that not all items are accepted.  Watch the calendar and home page for announcements and details.

Dumpster Days

Once or twice each summer, Green Waste hauls 20- and 40-yard dumpsters to Mineral for yard waste removal. Employees are on hand for five hours to assist subscribers in dumping their yard waste into the bins.  Dumpster Days are Green Waste's way of saying Thank You to their customers here by helping them get rid of large amounts of yard trimmings and pine needles all at once for free.  Please note that stumps will not be accepted, and plastic bags must not be thrown into the dumpster. Watch the calendar and home page for announcements and details.

Transfer Stations

Perhaps you would rather haul landscape debris to a Green Waste transfer station than burn it on your property. The Mineral Transfer Station was closed in 2019. However, Mineral residents may use either the Paynes Creek or Manton transfer stations.

Subscribers pay $49.27/quarter to dispose of up to 2 cubic yards per month. Subscribers who exceed 2 cubic yards in a given month will be charged $7.50/cubic yard thereafter. Subscriptions may be put on hold or resumed at will. Non-subscribers pay $11/cubic yard of garbage / trash / debris / refuse / roofing / concrete / asphalt / yard waste materials. 

Some items, such as auto and truck tires, large appliances, heaters / furnaces, furniture, and tree stumps from 12" to 24" in diameter require special per-item fees for both subscribers and non-subscribers.

Call Before You Haul.  Customer Service Reps. answer 8am-5pm M-F only.
