Steel land, then commerce center
The old mill site became the Kaiser Commerce Center, near I-10 and I-15. Warehousing and third-party logistics dominate, with trucking close behind. The city's own economy chapter describes the redevelopment of former steel land as a core part of its workplace growth.
That history matters to a tote seller for one reason: access. Under AB 98 the city has been pulling segments of Sierra Avenue, Highland Avenue and Valley Boulevard off its truck routes. A lot at a Fontana address has to be pulled out on the routes that still carry trucks, and the request should say so.
Questions to settle before a lot leaves
- Which gate and which street will the truck use?
- Is the lot on a dock, in a yard or inside a racking aisle?
- Are the totes empty, rinsed or still carrying product? See empty totes.
- Is a forklift on site, or does the lot need a liftgate? See pickup prep.
ZIP codes and the request
ZIPs in the city include 92335, 92336 and 92337. Enter the one the lot sits in, then describe the totes: how many, which size and what they last held. The removal page explains what a removal request should contain.

Preparing a Fontana lot
Trucking and 3PL sites usually hold totes belonging to someone else. Before anything moves, settle who owns each group, because a sale or a disposal needs the owner's say. Then confirm the route: the city has been taking segments of Sierra Avenue, Highland Avenue and Valley Boulevard off its truck routes, so ask the carrier which approach it will use.
Give the gate, the street and the surface the totes stand on. The removal page lists the rest.
Third-party owners and custody
Where a 3PL stores totes for its clients, ask each client in writing what may be sold, what must be disposed of and who signs. A lot with unsettled ownership is the commonest reason a clearance stalls, whatever the grade.
