Yuba County, CA Trash & Recycling: Bulk Item Disposal (2026)

For unincorporated Yuba County (and the cities of Live Oak, Marysville, and Wheatland), Recology Yuba-Sutter provides four free bulky-item collections per year, each limited to two cubic yards plus one large item. Accepted items include appliances, furniture, tires (limited quantity), carpets, and mattresses; a Freon-certification fee of about $17 applies to refrigerators and air conditioners. Residents may instead use free Transfer Station passes in place of bulky pickups. Mattresses can be dropped off free at the Recology Yuba-Sutter Transfer Station (3001 N. Levee Road, Marysville) or at Evans Furniture Warehouse in Yuba City, and retailers must offer free pickup with a new mattress purchase. Carpets are accepted at the Recology Transfer Station (call for pricing). Occasional excess garbage at the curb can be arranged with advance notice for roughly $4.75 per extra 32-gallon bag. Household hazardous waste (paint, batteries, used oil, fluorescent/HID lamps, e-waste, sharps, treated wood) is NOT accepted in bulky pickup and must go to the Yuba-Sutter Household Hazardous Waste Facility in Yuba City, which serves Yuba and Sutter County residents. Improperly dumping bulky items instead of using these programs is illegal dumping under California law.
