Ah yes . . . growing up in Goleta we have lots of fun memories of going to "The Dump" with Dad…read more Early memories of loading up the old Ford Station Wagon with yard clippings and useless furnishings, then filling the old Rambler Station Wagon with a month accumulation of yard clippings and bric a brac, and then loading up our old Datsun truck with "acceptable" plants and the last of the broken toys and bikes that we no longer could use. Good times. And for some reason those trips to "The Dump" with dad and brother were always so rewarding. Some might even say cleansing. And now as an adult the trips to "The Dump," or now we call it the South Coast Recycling and Transfer Station, it is a purely cathartic experience. These days loading up the Tacoma truck with all things unwanted and/or unneeded, I can still hear my Dad giving us directions as to how he wanted all our junk strategically placed in the truck bed. And once fully loaded he was always so meticulous with the laying and securing of "the tarp." He always would let us know how important "The Tarp" was for a successful visit to "The Dump." Staff is always very helpful in making sure we know exactly where to dump our loads. And whether it's electronics, green waste, treated or clean wood, and even "hard to handle" waste, they are very well organized and always offer clear paths to the different waste disposal areas. Thank you S.C.R.A.T.S.

While watching the outrageously bright colors of RuPaul's Drag Race, my secondary TV in the master…read morebedroom decided to take its last breath. Grr. Literally mid show it did a flash and then went black. Although the sound was still playing from the speaker, the screen's display was done. Ya it sucked, but what sucked more was trying to find how/where to dispose of a 60" Samsung TV. Thankfully after some Googling, I had found that county residents may "drop-off electronic equipment containing a cathode ray tube (CRT) (e.g. computer monitors, televisions, and laptop computers) free of charge." After further research I learned that as of January 2020 the state of California charges a "Electronic Waste Recycling Fee" when you purchase an electronic device of this type (any video display devices with a screen size, measured diagonally, greater than four inches, such as computer monitors, televisions, laptop computers, smart displays, tablets, and portable DVD players"). For future reference it is as follows: $4 More than four inches but less than 15 inches $5 At least 15 inches but less than 35 inches $6 35 inches or more The best part was once I lugged this massive TV in my car, I was able to drop it off free of charge for responsible recycling. That is once I could find the station. I also learned that you can pick up FREE mulch and recycle everything including clean textiles here. Check out my images for more details and pricing. I'm glad to see my taxes go to use. Directions: For locals, drive up County Drive past the jail on the left and it'll be up the hill.

It does not. This place is poorly run by two misogynists, and they make no bones about it. I had my ground floor handy storage container moved to the top of a three story stack of containers , fragile heirlooms inside be damned. When I approached them about retrieving my unit four weeks in advance, they complained askeing for closer dates. When that date came they told me my container had been there so long that it was lost. Deadlines loomed nothing to be done. Finally it is found and I have to rearrange things and add to it, doing this by myself as a 65 year old woman. They told me they could only leave it down for 24 hours, for the convenience of other people. And each additional time they had to move it, they would charge me $60.00. I protested which they found to find to be "offensive" so they gave me 48 hours to have my container emptied and cleaned. After ten years one time , and eight years another time, when they gave me a container almost impossible to open. The people that work there are toxic , difficult and dangerously thin skinned. Every interaction is stressful and they grab money in every way possible. I found the people across the street to be a thousand times nicer, cheaper, and actually helpful instead of scary. Dont use this place, especially if you are a woman.
