Helpful staff, great location. We go here when we head out of town, and recommend it to everyone

These are the best guys and I am so thankful this service is available. Everything is laid out so well. It's usually a quick in and out. It's just so well run read more

This place is absolutely the best. The staff are always kind and welcoming, even to my children, which means a lot. Everything is extremely organized, the hours are consistent, and the service is reliable every time. Truly a great recycling center, couldn't ask for better. read more

Great chat service and very easy to get In and out. I like all of the fake owls they have around the place. If you look around you may find the one that was installed upside down. read more

So easy and convenient. Clean and great staff Just bought a second home in Arnold and this is a great option vs monthly pickup. read more

Fast and easy to dump your local area garbage and they have recycling on site as well. Sure better than the other dumps I've been to.

Great people working here. And very easy to work with. Got something unusual or environmentally sensitive (batteries? microwave oven?) . They can help you with finding the right disposal solution. Easy in and out. read more

Clean and organized. Staff is nice and helpful. They run this transfer station very well... love the music they play as well!

Great facility! Great people I wish Tuolumne county had this. Calaveras county has much less Garbage . People Don't go way out to Beautiful rural areas and dump their Garbage because they Offer their citizens free disposal centers ! read more

Simple and easy drop off. Staff is helpful and make themselves available. I always bring my recyclables and waste here.

I actually look forward to bringing my trash here because the people working here are so friendly. Also as others have mentioned, everything is very well organized. If you have items that they are not able to take (yard debris, mattresses), just talk to the staff and they will direct you to the right place. read more

Usually when you talk about garbage on Yelp, the locale deservedly gets a 1 star rating; but the Avery station doesn't dish it- it takes the garbage....and does it in an impressive manner that puts other counties to shame. The station is simple, well organized, efficient, CLEAN and easy for all to use. They accept garbage and all the different recylcling types that the standard household might come up with (even batteries! I love that!) The signage is so clear that unless you're blind, you would know that you wouldn't dare mix the newspaper with cardboard. The staff can also help out with questions, but ask with intelligence...something tells me they get stupid questions all day that a glance at the signage can answer. All in all, this place makes me look forward to going to the dump, and believe me- I never thought I'd be saying that in my lifetime! read more

Drove half an hour with a truck full of trash only to be told you must be a resident of that town to dump there. Would have been nice to see that posted on the page somewhere visible, what a total waste of valuable time and energy. read more

I can't believe I am writing a review for a garbage dump but I was searching for the station's hours online and was suprised to see that people have been reviewing them. I am adding my voice to the other 5-star reviews because the staff has gone out of their way to deserve them. One of the surprise perks of having a mountain cabin in Calaveras is having access to the Avery Refuse Station. It is clean, very user-friendly, has great signage, and the staff are very helpful both in person and on the phone. Almost everything a homeowner needs to dispose of is accepted and the hours are convienant. In our home Bay Area neighborhood large items are only collected twice a year and one needs to drive all over the place to dispose of special items like batteries. Not so in Calaveras (unless you happen to have a horse carcass lying around)! All that said, my favorite thing is that the employees put up seasonal decorations year-round which makes going to the dump a little nicer. Taxpayer-funded city services almost never bother with little details like this, let alone politeness, so kudos to the staff! read more

Very clean, very well run, if you have to take trash to the dump it doesn't get any better than this. Easy to reach off Rt 4 opposite Avery middle school, make sure you take proof of residency. read more

I love going to this dump, and love driving away even more. Well organized. Could hardly be better. But be aware they close on the dot. The worker races to the gate and blocks it with an SUV at the exact second they close. They will not work another 42 seconds without compensation, so be on your toes. The CHP is hep to this and watches for people speeding between Arnold and Avery. read more

Very well run place. Very clean and efficient and organized. It is nice to have such a facility in our community. Really makes going to the dump a not so bad experience - you can usually get in and out in a matter of minutes. We have a second house in the area and always stop by on the way out of town to dispose of our refuse and it has always been quick and efficient. Keep up the good work! read more

It's odd to write a review for a refuse disposal site, but I have to agree with the other 2 reviewers: stellar service! The folks at the Avery Refuse Disposal Transfer Station are incredibly helpful and nice. It's a very clean and easy-to-use transfer station, with all areas clearly marked. The people working there are so nice and polite ... another plus in my book. It's a less than glamorous job, you'd never know from talking with the folks there. Lastly, they're open on all but three holidays! (No Christmas, New Year's or Easter). That's amazing. read more

I thought dragging my refuse to this place would be a pain when we first moved to Arnold. I discovered I love the drive down Moran to this friendly and well organized facility. It's somehow a pleasant experience. Who knew? read more

No wonder it's so clean around here. This place makes it so easy to dispose of trash! Friendly folks too!

This pace is unbelievably clean so when I got here for the first time I thought it's the wrong address.
