Bulky Vouchers are Coming

While you’re planning your spring cleaning, don’t forget to use your bulky waste voucher for the Yolo County Landfill which will allow you to dispose of a truck bed’s worth of waste for free during the month of April! The postcard should be arriving in your mailbox in late March. 

If you have household items that are still in good condition that you no longer want, including non-upholstered furniture, you can donate it to the Big Blue Barn at the landfill daily.

March 20-26 is Fix-a-Leak Week
