Just want to clarify for people who say "just bring your CPS bill and id"..you need to have the environmental fee on the CPS bill. Not everyone is paying that.

Im glad this went smoothly the staff were nice to me. How it works: Pull into the center parking lot and either go to the first line for Bulky items or second line for Waste. You drive up to a staff member then present your printed CPS bill. Also tell them what you brought to dump. After that you have to reverse into the covered parking slots and unload your OWN stuff (so be sure you’re able to do it alone or with a buddy). Then you drive off. I‘m not sure why I was nervous by some of the reviews … but it went smoothly for me (just be friendly and know the staff are out in the heat all day so be kind).
