      Placer waste disposal has everything I needed to dispose my items. Had old phones (e-waste) and paint (hazardous material). The attendant was very helpful and friendly. Pointed me in the right direction and took his time. I was charged a cent for my drop offs (though I pay through other means I suppose). I definitely know where I need to go next time I have bigger items. The area was surprisingly clean for a dump. Overall it was a good experience and straight forward process.

      Absolute zoo and it'd be cool if you could actually communicate to the workers trying to tell you what to do lol! Next time you need workers please don't go to the Home Depot in Lincoln lol!!!! Could've gotten my wife a nice Christmas present this year, but went to the dump 3 times and got bent over. Prices suck!

      We've been utilizing West Placer Waste Management Authority since moving to the county back in 2005. Watched the landfills grow and multiply through the years.

      For general residential waste, just follow the signs that'll lead you to a couple of booths where an attendant, after asking what your load is and city of residence, would direct you where to go next. They will provide you with a ticket for specific waste materials. There was no dumping fee for the flat screen TV, electric fan, elliptical and batteries that we had.

      NEVER omit what you're dumping like I did with the batteries as I had to go to the booths again to get a different ticket.

      NO TICKET NO DUMPING.

      It's a nice service for residents of the West Placer area. Customer relations, however, is a point that hasn't been corrected over the years.

      We are sorting and cleaning up our garage. We had quite a bit of misc metal things. I used the website to inquire on recycling waste metal. No response to my inquiry. No human to answer the phone to inquire. Customer service? Not so much.

      I made a request for a trashed container to be replaced and in less than 24 hours I had a new one in my driveway! Everyone was helpful and EZ to deal with and I have to say it was Perfection in Business Service!!!
      Perfect 10!!
      Thanks and anyone who complains must be wrong and/or having a bad day. All my dealings with them for so many things have been outstanding service, great workers/staff and quite frankly shocking on how good they service their clients especially as a Public Utility! Kudos to All!

      I had a lot of cardboard (30 boxes) from a move, I called around and went to three cardboard recycle places and they were all full. An attendant at the can recycling place I went that morning suggested Western Placer Waste facility to recycle the cardboard. It is far from my home in Loomis but I drove out there with my boxes all flattered and tied down. The attendant was short with me. He charged me 15 dollars and I asked "isn't the cardboard recyclable and free?" He cut me off and told me to back up and dump them and they would sort it. I said they were all moving boxes and broken down. The cardboard places are all full. He said $15.00 or turn around!

      I had never been to dump and didn't know where to go or what to do and he was very impatient and did not explain any of it. Terrible customer service and I felt "ripped off". I had my grandson with me as he helps me recycle and it was not a good example for him either. Very disappointing

      It is a dump, what am I supposed to say? Lol
      It is cleaner and a lot less stinky than others I have visited. A bit pricey, but shorter lines than in Sac county. That is only worth one star though because I would rather pay more and get tf out ASAP.
      Bottom Line: It's a dump. It serves its purpose. If you absolutely have to go to the dump, then this one is A OK.

      Easy and fast. Prices are good.
      Location is awesome. Easy drive.
      Employees were kind.
      If you have a lot of stuff, just be sure to bring your gloves. You have to unload it yourself.
      Quick and easy.
