As someone who manages multiple local properties, trash service is an ongoing challenge--especially with wildlife and residents not always following recycling guidelines. The office staff at Atlas Disposal have always been helpful and patient, taking the time to listen and work through my questions--even when I go off track. Julie, in particular, has been a great help over the years. Her consistency and willingness to assist really make a difference and that kind of reliability does not go unnoticed. Eve~ read more

8/11/2026: Recycled dead batteries . . . HOWEVER, every recycled battery must be taped on both ends with either painter's tape or Scotch tape--no duct tape--full stop! read more

See all

Extremely overpriced, especially for being a el dorado disposal customer. Almost $70 dollars for a 5x8 UTILITY trailer for green waste. Maybe if they charged more realistic rates we wouldn't see so much illegal dumping around the county. Give Sacramento county your business for dumping needs! read more

If you are a Contractor or Junk service just save yourself the trouble and go to the landfill. No only did I scrape rims the whole way in on the trailer due to less than 8' of lane width to the new scale but I was also charged $300 for a 7x16 dump trailer not even full to the brim.. I use to give this service over 30k a year and now will not be back. OVERPRICED, and Rude dude with the gauges that talks to you like crap does not help the situation either. read more

Yesterday I had a trash out job that was two full trailers. My plan was to dump one load and then take the second load back to Sacramento and that is what I did. What shocked me was the prices, these people are a scam. I pulled on scale and was unaware of the process. Since I had a dump trailer they charged me as a commercial client. $140 to dump trash and an additional $37.50 for a small garage freezer. This was more than double what it would had cost in Sacramento and also you can dump two appliances per load in Sacramento for free. This messed up my bid for this trash out and I should had never been charged as a commercial client. My trailer is 12x8x4 and again this was basic trash so not too heavy. Lesson learned and will do my best to avoid this place when possible. Or if needed I will be sure to quote the dump fee accordingly. The girls at the front office could had easily of told me to move off scale since they changed me by trailer size and not weight. I am not sure what their deal is but as a client they should had explained the process to me, I am not a city run garbage company and this is how I was managed. Side note I kept the fridge and will be dropping off at my normal Sacramento Facility on Roseville Rd. They are awesome and honest! read more

El Dorado Disposal- Materials Recovery Facility - Expensive dump fee - Recycling Center Near Me - Placerville, California

I take household toxic waste (used batteries, paint) to the recovery facility about 4 times a year, and have done so for several years. I thought the facility's remodeling would streamline the process but the new system is far less efficient with longer wait times. There used to be a separate line for household toxic drop-off but now we have to wait in line behind trucks that need to be weighed. And then there is another wait once inside for toxic disposal that is longer than it used to be before the remodel. Last time I went, I was told at the 2nd line that I was lucky as the person behind me was going to have to wait til after the workers went to lunch. It was around 11:40 so I asked when lunch was so I could avoid coming during that time. I was told it varied. WTF? The facility's new organization after the remodel is very disappointing. My concern is that with the longer wait time to dispose of household batteries and other household toxic waste, more residential customers will simply discard them in their trash bins, harming the environment. read more

Overly priced, overly priced, too expensive and guess what this does...some people (scumbags of course) will just dump anywhere...on someone's property, the side of the road, wherever...so long as they don't have to pay this dumpsites exorbitant prices! Also...can you guys take some of our money to update your friggin' app!? P.O.S. hardly ever loads up and crashes on any instance of touching anything within the app. Seriously, this dumpsite is WAY overpriced! read more

They were nice and polite. And the place was clean on trash on the ground. And the employee were dressed well.

This will be a quick review. I mean, there's not a lot you can say about the dumps right??? So we swing by the dumps at least every other month for dumping stuff we can't fit in our bin or to recycle old lumber from projects around the ranch. The price is great. Especially compared to sac proper or the bay. The new facilities are east my to navigate and back into (even with a trailer). The line is never more than 10 minutes (for me at least). They are friendly at the pay booth and fair. Not much more you can ask for. read more

Over an hour wait. $22.15 minimum charge. What a shame. My customer had to pay for my time, my gas and my vehicle for this haul.

As someone who remodels homes we have a consistent trash load at least twice a month and this facility doesn't know what the F*** they're doing ... EVER!!! Prices are always different, and they just tried to gouge me for $115 when my same full trailer, with the same materials has never been over $40 bucks. Service sucks and they act like the trash Nazi's. Hate this place. read more

El Dorado Disposal- Materials Recovery Facility - This woman is very rude - Recycling Center Near Me - Placerville, California

Not sure if they have new people inside the shack or what was five six cars deep Max, waited for an hour and 15 minutes. Wtf!

Poor facility!!! The supervisor Roger should be fined by the city as well as be reported to OSHA for not following state and mandatory regulations! And will be reported as well as his lack of professionalism and poor management skills! read more

Materials Recovery Facility has been remodeled. Now the bays are larger but there are only 8. Expect 20% longer wait times. Also, the men in the cashier booth were so polite and professional. Unfortunately, now staffed by mostly women who love calling me darlin', or honey. If you can, go to Kiefer Landfill, faster, cheaper, and more professional. read more

Website fails to tell the public what it costs to dispose of specific items. Example: a mattress
