Yolo County waste facilities will have adjusted schedules for the holidays. The Esparto Transfer Station will close on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve, while the Central Landfill will remain open but closed on December 25 and January 1, 2026, according to the Yolo County.
Waste collection by Waste Management and Recology will be delayed by one day following the holidays. Residents can recycle their holiday trees for free from December 26 through January 15, 2026, if decorations are removed. Trees with ornaments or tinsel will incur a fee, as reported by the Yolo County.
Yolo County is offering a free at-home hazardous waste pick-up program for residents over 65. Gently used items can be donated to the Blue Barn Thrift Store at the landfill, with proceeds supporting waste reduction. More information is available on the Yolo County official website.
