Small county solid waste facility in Davis that locals use for household trash, recycling and yard debris. Located on William Ave, it handles the everyday sort of loads that come from surrounding valleys. Mountain weather can make getting there slow, so plan accordingly.
Drive in off William Ave and look for a single-point entrance with room to pull up and unload; traffic moves slowly when a line forms. Dumping areas are outdoors and the site looks like a working yard-piles, skips or bins and heavy equipment nearby. Recycling containers are usually grouped to one side while general trash gets dropped in another spot, so have materials separated before getting out. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup or after storms, will be noticeably busier and slower than weekday mornings.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring tarps or tied-down containers for loose trash-wind and hills can make loose loads a headache on the drive in and out.
- Sort glass, paper/cardboard and yard waste at home as much as possible so unloading is quicker and less confusing for the next vehicle.
- Allow extra travel time in bad weather or on weekends; the short drive can take much longer when trucks and trailers are stacking up.
