Alright, let’s talk about them San Rafael dump fees. Folks been askin’ about it, and it ain’t always easy to figure out, you know? This ain’t like goin’ to the store and buyin’ bread. This dump stuff, it’s complicated.
First off, don’t you be dumpin’ your junk on the street! I heard it’s against the law. They don’t want your old furniture, mattresses, or garbage clutterin’ up the place. Makes sense, I guess. Nobody wants to live next to a pile of trash. So, what you gonna do with all that stuff then?
Well, for small loads, seems like you gotta pay somethin’. They call it a base fee, like a ticket to get in. Heard it’s around 40 bucks, just to drive your truck in there. Then, they weigh your stuff, I reckon, and you pay more if you got a lot. It’s at that place on Jacoby Street, number 565. And guess what? There’s even a taco truck there! So, you can get some grub after you dump your trash. Not bad, huh? But remember, that forty dollars, that’s just to get in the gate.
- Small Loads: Base fee around $40 at 565 Jacoby St. You pay more depending on how much stuff you have.
- Big Loads: They probably charge you more, I ain’t sure how much.
- Construction Stuff: If you got wood, concrete, bricks, that kind of thing, they gonna charge you for that too. They call it mixed construction and demolition debris, all fancy-like.
Now, what about all that buildin’ stuff? You know, if you’re fixin’ up your house or tearin’ somethin’ down. That’s a whole ‘nother story. They definitely charge you for that. Wood, concrete, bricks, all that mess. They got a special name for it too – somethin’ like “construction and demolition debris” or “landscaping materials.” Sounds important, but it just means they’re gonna get you on the price.
And they got different rules for different folks, I think. Like, if you got an apartment building, that’s different from a store, see? And then there’s people just dumpin’ a little bit here and there versus people dumpin’ a whole truckload. They used to have some confusion about it all, but they say they fixed it. Don’t ask me how, I just heard it from my neighbor’s cousin.
Seems like before May of 2021, they didn’t quite have it all figured out. They were mixin’ up the rules for apartments and stores, and for people just dumpin’ a little bit versus people dumpin’ a lot. So, the numbers they got from back then might not be quite right. But hey, they’re tryin’ to make it better, I guess.
So, to sum it all up, if you got a little bit of junk, head over to Jacoby Street with at least 40 bucks in your pocket. If you got a whole lot, or if you got construction stuff, you better be ready to pay more. And whatever you do, don’t leave your trash on the street! Nobody wants that, and you might get in trouble. And hey, if you go to Jacoby Street, maybe grab a taco while you’re there. Just don’t forget your money for the dumpin’ and the eatin’! It ain’t free you know.
They got all sorts of events goin’ on in San Rafael too, you know? Ribbon cuttings for new stores, mixers, all that fancy stuff. But that’s a whole ‘nother story. Just remember, when you’re cleanin’ out your house or doin’ some yard work, you gotta figure out where to put all that stuff, and the dump ain’t free. You gotta pay to get rid of your mess.
San Rafael dump fees ain’t somethin’ most people wanna think about. But it’s a part of life, just like payin’ taxes and eatin’ your vegetables. You got junk, you gotta get rid of it, and that means payin’ the price. Just make sure you’re doin’ it right, so you don’t get into trouble and you don’t make a mess for your neighbors.
And remember what I said, they got a taco truck there! That’s gotta be worth somethin’, right? Maybe not enough to make you enjoy takin’ out the trash, but it’s a little somethin’.
