Services
The Conejo Collection Center is located near El Cerro Mission. Valencia County provides a Solid Waste Collection Center for household trash, scrap metals, and white goods (refrigerators, stoves, dishwashers etc.), but no construction debris.
Cost
The cost to residents for the use of the transfer station is $5 per truck load and will increase according to the size of the load.
ALL LOADS MUST BE TARPED OR SECURED
Loads not fully covered by a tarp or netting will be assessed a $4 “no tarp” fee.
*Conejo Collection Center will temporarily shut down when high wind speeds occur , this helps prevent trash from flying all over the road way while dumping, we will reopen as soon as wind speeds slow down. Thank you!
