Recology Yuba is the small county disposal site out on Ponderosa Way that locals use for household drop-offs and cleanup runs. Folks from Challenge-Brownsville and nearby areas swing by with everything from yard debris to old furniture. It’s the practical place to get rid of stuff that won’t fit in the weekly pickup.

There’s an entrance booth and a drive-up route that guides vehicles toward the tipping area; expect to stop at the booth before proceeding. A scale is typically crossed coming in or going out, so loads are handled by weight. Recycling and organics are treated separately in California, so expect separate bins or piles and some sorting at the site. The site looks like most rural transfer stations-gravel or paved roads, piles of material, and large roll-off areas where people unload.

Before You Go

  • Bring sturdy gloves and something to cover a load if hauling loose yard waste or compostable material; wind can make a mess on the drive in.
  • Weekends and spring cleanup times get busy-plan for longer waits if visiting mid-morning on a Saturday.
  • Drive a little slower in the yard and watch for trucks reversing; follow the attendants’ gestures or simple signs for where to pull up.
