ReGen Monterey Recycling and Disposal Facility

ReGen Monterey is the public name of the Monterey Regional Waste Management District, and its campus off Del Monte Boulevard holds the 461-acre Monterey Peninsula Landfill, which opened in 1965 and takes about 550,000 tons of municipal solid waste a year. Scales open Monday through Friday at 7 a.m. and Saturdays at 8 a.m. A mile-long entry road leads to the scales, the recycling drop-off, the household hazardous waste facility, and the Last Chance Mercantile reuse store. The drop-off takes cardboard, paper, plastics #1, #2, and #5, metal, and glass containers. The hazardous waste and electronics facility takes e-waste, household and car batteries, paint, pesticides, motor oil, CFL bulbs, aerosols, acids, fuels, and caustics. Last Chance Mercantile benefits the Veterans Transition Center of California. The campus closes Sundays and major holidays.
