Victorville, Calif. – Do you need to spruce up your yard or neighborhood? The City of Victorville and Victorville Disposal are joining forces to host a Free Dump Day on Saturday, March 11. This event is free for all Victorville residents and will take place from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the former Victor Valley Jr. High School athletic field located at 16925 Forrest Ave. in Victorville. The entrance to the Free Dump Day event will be via 8th Street.

Garden trimmings, broken fences, old furniture, toilets, mattresses, appliances, scrap metal, cardboard boxes, and extra trash can be disposed of free of charge during the event. Attendees will be required to unload their own vehicles into bins at the site. No TVs, computers, electronics, tires, hazardous waste, paint, oil, gas cylinders, dirt, or asbestos materials will be accepted.

This Free Dump Day is for City of Victorville residents only. Attendees must bring a valid photo ID and a current utility bill showing a City of Victorville service address. No business waste or commercial haulers will be accepted.

To enter this event, attendees should turn onto A Street from 7th or Hesperia Road, then turn onto 8th Street and proceed to Forrest Avenue. Forrest Avenue will be closed at 7th Street and Hesperia Avenue, so the only entrance to the event will be via 8th Street. Directional signs will be posted to assist attendees.

Attendees must remain in their vehicles until instructed by an attendant to unload vehicles. Social Distancing is encouraged for all. Those who are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms or have a fever of 100.4 should not attend. Entering the event area is a self-attestation by attendees that they do not have a fever of 100.4 and they do not have any COVID-19 symptoms.
