Contra Costa Waste Services

Very unprofessional workers. Outrageous prices. Guy kept having us go in circles & redirecting us. Gave us a price that we did not feel comfortable paying having also been here 3 days before with about the same size load. Straight up told us to go somewhere else. Ha what a joke! Martinez is where it’s at

I never thought I would have occasion to write a review about a «dump». After all, how many ways can you be surprised by excellance or disappointed with the service at a place where the only «service» offered is a flat spot to dump your trash? Yet here I am, because once in a while I have the rare pleasure of encountering someone who goes above & beyond what they get paid for…
A few weeks ago I stopped by my nieghbors house to check on the progress being made by the contractors hired to do an update on the house. My neighbor is 93 years old, recently lost his wife & is staying with his son. He’s a couple hours away so I keep an eye on the place for him. It was his family’s home for 60+ years. There are a lot of memories in that house & objects that hold special meaning. One of those objects was a bannister that ran the length of a steep stairway. It was really little more than a long
wood closet rod, but the family had mentioned to me that regardless of it’s «dated» appearence, they were keeping it because at one time or another, every hand in their family, from the toddlers to Great Grandma’s had run it’s length & held it for support.
It had been taken down and stored in the garage during interior painting & was to be reinstalled after the walls dried. And on this day, it was missing.
A quick glance showed that the clean up crew had been by to haul all the construction debris to the dump. A phone call confirmed that the bannister had been removed with the trash. The trash had already been taken to the dump. I felt awfull about what the family had lost & knew they would be heartbroken when they found out. I called the transfer station to find out if there was any way they could look around the location where the driver said he dumped the debris.
An employee named David answered the phone. He politely listened to my story, asked for a description of the truck that dumped the load & checked to see if anyone remembered it. They didn’t. I tried to tell him exactly where the driver said he dumped everything. David said he couldn’t leave the booth unattended but that he would try to take a look as soon as another employee returned. He took my number. Unbelievably, he called me back a short time later, asked if I could tell him a few of the larger items that were in the load– then went to look again. After several unsuccessfull efforts, I asked if I could come look. He explained how the trucks «push» the trash through-​out the day, basically burying what was there. He explained they would be doing a final push soon. When I told him I wanted to come anyway, he said he would try to hold them off. And he did.
David met me as I sped up to the gate, escorted me to the place I had described & stayed with me for as long as he could since I wasnt allowed to just wander around on my own & he did have to get back to the gate.
We didnt find the bannister — but I felt better knowing I had done all I could. The family was grateful for all the efforts made on their behalf. David was such a blessing– going above & beyond to help us out without neglecting his job. I wish we could find employees like that for our company. And by the way, I never imagined a «dump» would be so neat & well organized. If you need a place to dump your stuff — these guys are great. (Thank you David!)

I call this my second home! Since i’m in the hauling/​junking business. I come here about once or twice a day on average. The staff is always nice and respectful. Rates are average and pretty much posted before you enter the facility. On hotter days the indoor dumping are can be a bit stinky, but what do you expect when its full of trash. I know its a family owned company and know some of the family members who are very nice also.

I have been going here for over 5 years and it is The run dump in The whole bay area, the extra charges for mattresses and electronics can get you though! The staff is friendly and knowledgable. You might not think that matters that much but when you on a time schedule it makes all The difference. Even if the lines are super long you never have to wait long at all

From 2 miles away, you can smell that you are approaching Contra Costa Waste Service facility. Everything from lumber to yard waste in piles at least 50 feet high. If you’re pregnant, it’s your worst nightmare.
This place is more organized than I thought. The people here are friendly. You can bring pretty much anything here recycle or toss if it doesn’t fit in your regular trash at home. Costs vary. Some are measured by weight and some by what it is.
My suggestion is «recycle, reuse, reduce». If you can recycle it and reuse it again somehow, do it. It’s way better on our landfills and you wont have to pay a high price to throw it away.

Been here many times over the years, comparing the cost of having a dumpster delivered this place is far cheaper.
The place is pretty well organized for a dump, the employees are friendly enough, but it isn’t their job to unload for you so bring help if you need it
