Smart Truck in the Residential Sector

When organic and recycling materials are dumped in landfills, they create air pollutants and methane, a climate super pollutant. Senate Bill 1383 addresses this issue by increasing standards for diverting organics and recycling from the landfill.

In order to do our part, and to address neighborhood issues like odor and litter, the City is launching Smart Truck. This program uses cameras on garbage trucks to ensure residents are sorting their waste properly, and avoiding overfilling their carts. For more details, please take a look at this Smart Truck Fact Sheet, as well as this FAQ.

Do your part by reviewing the West Sac Sorting Guide! Here are a few tips to get you started:

1) Did you know that plastic bags do not belong in the recycling cart? It's true! Simply dump your recyclables into the cart, no bag needed.

2) If you regularly overfill your recycling or organics carts, order a few more at no cost. Limit four per type. 

3) If you find you don't need such a big trash cart, reach out to WM to get a smaller one and save money each month! See "Contact" section above.

Fats, Oils and Grease

Fats, Oils and GreaseFats, oils, and grease (FOG) are a natural by-product of cooking and preparing food.  Sources of FOG include food scraps, meat fats, cooking oil, lard, baked goods, salad dressings, sauces, dairy products, shortening, butter and margarine. Proper disposal of FOG is important. Review this material for tips on saving our pipes and sewer lines! 

 

Used Oil and Filter Collection

Waste Management will provide used oil containers and filter bags. Residents may recycle up to two (2) gallons of used oil each month using this service. Residents must call to make an appointment. Used oil must be poured into provided containers. Call (866) 844-1508 to request a container and filter bag.

Good Neighbor Program

Illegal dumping is an eyesore. Roadside furniture, appliances and tires, to name a few, do nothing to enhance a neighborhood. The County of Yolo has a program that can help. Residents may take illegally dumped items found in unincorporated areas to the landfill - free of charge. In addition, the resident will be given a coupon good for disposal of their own waste. Just for being a Good Neighbor! The County implemented this program to reduce the amount of money the Roads Division spends cleaning up illegal dumping. Residents are requested not to pick up hazardous waste and are asked to complete a form that includes describing the location where the material was collected.

If you would like more information about this program, contact the Yolo County Central Landfill at 530-666-8729 or visit their website.
