Yolo County Central Landfill

Yolo County Central Landfill, 44090 County Road 28H, Woodland, 95776, California

Yolo County Central Landfill is the big county dump out on County Road 28H that Woodland residents and haulers use when a load won’t fit in the curbside bin. It’s a large landfill with heavy equipment and long stretches of compacted piles visible from the road. Commercial trucks use it as well as pickups and trailers from around town.

Pull up to an entrance booth and then proceed onto a scale - tipping is handled by weight so there’s usually a stop on the way out too. The site is wide open, dusty at times, with large compactors and dump cells rather than recycling bins stacked neatly. Lines can form, especially on weekend mornings and during spring cleanups, and big roll-off trucks will be moving around so drive carefully and give them room.

Before You Go

  • Keep organics and yard debris separated from mixed trash before heading in - California rules push for organics diversion and it’s easier to unload if things are already sorted.
  • Avoid peak weekend windows if possible; weekday mornings tend to move quicker and cut down on time sitting in line.
  • Secure tarps and tie-downs on trailers, expect dust and uneven surfaces, and be prepared to navigate around large trucks and equipment while dumping.
