Dumpster rental and junk removal in Cedarpines Park

Getting to your place in Cedarpines Park

Cedarpines Park sits in the northwest part of the County's Crest Forest planning area, west and south of Highway 138. From the highway, Crest Forest Drive and Waters Drive lead in, and Devils Canyon Road runs southeast from Sawpit Canyon Road to meet them at their intersection in Cedarpines Park.

Central Cedarpines Park is about 3 road miles from central Crestline, roughly a seven-minute drive. Give us your street and a nearby landmark, such as the CSA 18 community center and playground, when you book.

Dirt roads, CSA 18 and winter plowing

Many local roads here are maintained by County Service Area 18 (CSA 18), a County special district that also runs the community park and handles snow removal. The County's snow-removal map lists 66 CSA 18 road segments, from Alder Creek Road and Cedar Pines Drive to Devils Canyon Road. Some CSA 18 roads are dirt and get annual maintenance, and the County finished a CSA 18 paving project in November 2024.

In winter, CSA 18 crews plow those roads with their own plow and cinder truck rather than the County's main road crews. Private roads are not plowed by the County at all; owners there hire their own snow removal.

If your street is dirt, steep or private, say so when you book and text photos of the road, the driveway and the spot for the dumpster. Robert brings it on a gooseneck trailer behind his pickup, and he needs to know the rig can get in and back out safely. After rain or snow, a dirt road can mean moving the date.

Clearing brush around Cedarpines Park

The County lists Cedar Pines Park among the mountain communities that get annual defensible-space inspections starting in June. The rules cover dead plants and trees, grass over four inches, pine needles deeper than two inches, and low limbs near buildings.

Insurers push clearing too. In 2021, Camp Paivika in Crestline learned its insurer was going to cancel coverage over brush and heavy fuels, and it had to clear brush 200 feet from its lodge. Team Rubicon volunteers cleared the slope coming up from Waterman Canyon, and the camp's director said the work gives "a greater level of protection to the camp and all of Cedarpines Park."

Clearing work makes a lot of brush, limbs and needles. Text us a photo of the pile and we'll tell you whether the dumpster or a haul-away suits it. Keep green waste apart from household trash so it can be recycled.

Older cabins and what that means for disposal

Cedarpines Park has some of the oldest housing on the mountain. The median home in ZIP 92322 was built around 1958, and the ZIP had 887 homes and 1,441 residents in 2020, with about a quarter of the homes held for seasonal or occasional use.

That matters if you're tearing anything out. San Bernardino County's landfills and transfer stations require an asbestos certification before they accept demolition debris from a structure built before 1984, or from any burned structure. The rule covers debris from tearing down or tearing out a structure, such as walls, ceilings, siding and flooring, rather than furniture and household junk. Tell us the age of the building and what's coming out before you load.

• Cabin and home cleanouts before a sale or after an estate
• Yard, shed and outbuilding cleanups on larger lots
• Remodel debris (tell us the building's age)
• Junk removal if you'd rather we load it

Where the nearest disposal sites are

Cedarpines Park is the farthest Rim town from the County's Heaps Peak Transfer Station: about 14 road miles, roughly 25 minutes east on Highway 18. The County's Mid-Valley Landfill in Rialto is about 24 road miles, roughly 36 minutes down the hill. Those are free-flow map estimates, so real trips with a trailer take longer.

With a dumpster rental, you don't drive to either one. We pick up the full dumpster, haul it to a disposal site, and bill disposal by weight after the load is dumped. Junk removal and hauling are quoted per job.
