Small drop-off spot used by local residents for household trash and recyclables. Easy to find on County Road 19A in Esparto and mainly set up for quick visits. Regular neighbors swing by with loads from the yard or a trunk full of recycling.
Drive up to a simple entrance where there’s usually a small booth or attendant area and several open-top containers straight ahead. Pulling up close to the containers helps, since most stations require depositing items by hand or with a shovel; larger trucks may need a bit more maneuvering. Recycling bins tend to be grouped together to one side and yard/green waste is typically separate, so have things roughly sorted before getting out of the vehicle. Lines build on weekends and during seasonal cleanups, so be prepared to wait a bit during busy times.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have recyclables and yard debris separated in the car so unloading is faster - it speeds things along for everyone.
- Bring gloves and a tarp to keep loose debris contained when lifting into the bins; the metal edges and loose branches can be rough on hands and upholstery.
- Make sure trash is securely contained in the vehicle; windy days can blow light stuff out of open trucks or beds while moving around the site.
