Waste Management

Solid Waste Management

Dumpsters are located around the community, where bagged household garbage can be disposed of 24/7. These dumpsters are picked up twice weekly and brought to the landfill. There is no curbside garbage pick up in Zeballos.

Zeballos has a landfill and a recycling depot. Read more about each below!

Zeballos Landfill
