Taking it somewhere yourself?

Self haul in Lincoln means one address for almost everything, because the city's own collection is backed by the regional facility it shares with the rest of western Placer County. The Materials Recovery Facility at 3195 Athens Avenue in Lincoln is open for disposal Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., every day of the year with limited hours on certain holidays, and it charges most households by the cubic yard after measuring the load at the public scale houses while weighing larger commercial loads, dumping trailers and dump trucks by the ton. General refuse and construction material are charged the same rate, green waste and wood waste cost less, appliances and tires have their own per item lines, and clean separated cardboard and mixed paper come in free. The household hazardous waste drop-off is free for Placer County residents every day from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. with a 15 gallon or 125 pound cap for each visit, and e-waste is free there too. The city adds two curbside conveniences that do not exist elsewhere in the county: a free electronic and universal waste pickup every Wednesday for items with a circuit board and a plug, arranged on (916) 434-2450, and a temporary 3-yard bin for residents with an active utility account.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Tire disposal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Lincoln.

How much does tire disposal cost?

A non-commercial car or pickup-truck tire is $99 first and $20 additional. A commercial automotive tire up to 120 lb is $125 first and $55 additional. Count each tire separately.

How do I book a set of four tires?

Choose the matching tire type and set the quantity to four. The first tire uses the first-item price and the remaining three use the additional-item price. Review your total before payment.

Do you take tires still mounted on rims?

Text our team a photo before booking so we can confirm the scope and price for your setup.

Can my tire shop take the old tires?

Ask the tire retailer or your local waste authority about their collection options and requirements. If the tires are already at home, Dropcurb offers a separately booked outdoor pickup for the listed tire types.

Can I arrange same-day pickup?

Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Checkout shows the available dates for your address. Your booking is for a pickup day, rather than an exact arrival window. We send updates and photos after collection.

Where should I put my items?

Use an accessible outdoor spot you are allowed to use, and follow the instructions in your confirmation. Keep sidewalks, entrances and vehicle access clear. You arrange any indoor carrying. For a loading dock or a short building access window, confirm the setup with our team before booking.
