GUALALA — November 2, 2026. Mendocino County Environmental Health lists the South Coast Transfer Station at 40855 Fish Rock Road in Gualala among the region’s regulated solid-waste facilities.

What the county confirms

The facility is listed as a privately operated transfer station rather than a public landfill. Mendocino County inspects waste facilities for compliance with state minimum standards and environmental permits.

Hours and accepted loads need checking

The general county directory does not promise a particular same-day opening time or acceptance of every item. Ordinary trash, large appliances, scrap materials and hazardous waste can have different processing rules and fees.

Call before hauling

The county lists 707-459-4845 for transfer station questions. Ask for the current schedule and whether electronics, batteries, chemicals or construction debris require a separate approved disposal program.
