Our Commitment
STOP THE DUMPING.
PROTECT THE DESERT.
Illegal dumping is destroying the Antelope Valley, Tehachapi, and Santa Clarita Valley's deserts — mattresses, appliances, and debris abandoned on dirt roads and open land. Red Creek exists to give people a better option, one responsible haul at a time.

How We Do It
BUILT ON
RESPONSIBILITY.
WE SORT EVERY LOAD
Metal, wood, foam, appliances, electronics — we don't just dump everything in one bin. Every load gets sorted and routed to the right facility. Recyclables go to recyclers. Donatable items go to donation centers. The rest is disposed of legally — not on the side of a road.
PROTECTING THE MOJAVE
Illegal dumping is scarring the Antelope Valley's natural landscape — mattresses, tires, and debris left to bake in the desert sun. Every haul we complete is one less pile of junk poisoning our backyard.
LA COUNTY COMPLIANT
We partner with CalRecycle-certified processors and comply with AB 939 and LA County waste diversion mandates. You can feel good knowing your junk was handled legally and responsibly.
LOCAL FACILITIES
We use local certified recycling and transfer facilities in the Antelope Valley and greater LA County — keeping the process close to home, efficient, and environmentally sound.
MATTRESS RECYCLING PROGRAM
California mattresses require special handling. We're registered with the Bye Bye Mattress / Mattress Recycling Council program, ensuring your old mattress is properly recycled — not illegally dumped.
E-WASTE HANDLED RIGHT
Electronics contain toxic materials that can't go in a landfill. We route all e-waste to certified R2 or e-Stewards processors who ensure safe, certified recycling of all components.

The Real Problem
ILLEGAL DUMPING
IS A CRISIS.
Los Angeles County is one of the most illegally dumped-on regions in the United States. Every year, the county spends over $20 million cleaning up illegally dumped waste — mattresses baking in the sun, appliances rusting in desert arroyos, construction debris scattered across open land.
In the Antelope Valley alone — Lancaster, Palmdale, Tehachapi, and the surrounding high desert — illegal dumping has become an epidemic. Remote roads and vacant lots have turned into unofficial dumpsites, destroying the natural beauty of the Mojave and creating health hazards for the entire community.
It often happens because people don't know what else to do with large items. Hauling companies charge too much. Donation centers won't take everything. So the couch ends up on the side of a dirt road.
That's exactly why Red Creek exists. Fair prices, responsible disposal, and a commitment to keeping LA County's desert clean.
