The local disposal guide

Will the city
take it?

Davis does not collect waste with city crews. The city holds an exclusive franchise waste agreement with Recology Davis for trash, recycling, organics and street sweeping, bills every property in the city for the service, and treats a couch or a mattress left on the street as illegal dumping. Large items follow two published routes: a One-Time Bulky Waste Landfill Voucher that gives each Davis household one free load at the Yolo County Central Landfill, and a fee-based curbside bulky item pickup from Recology Davis that is priced by phone and does not include appliances. Mattresses are the exception to the paid route, because the city sends them to free recycling instead.

Weekly curb carts

Accepted with preparation

Trash, recycling and organic waste carts are collected once a week by Recology Davis, the city's exclusive franchise hauler, and every property in the city is required to subscribe to the service. The city bills the solid waste charge, and the collection page states that Recology Davis is the only business permitted to haul trash, recycling and organic waste in Davis.

City cost & eligibility
From $51.2 for curbside collection rate per month for the smallest cart size from the City of Davis solid waste rate schedule effective February 1, 2026, which does not include landfill fees. An individually serviced residence in the City of Davis billed by the city Finance Department. Medium and large cart sizes cost more, additional trash carts and organics carts carry their own monthly charge, and assisted service is billed at the same rates.
When & how
Recology Davis collects the three carts once a week and starts the route at 6:00 a.m. Carts may go to the curb after 5:00 p.m. the day before collection and should come back in by 7:00 a.m. the day after. The hauler works every holiday except Christmas and New Year's Day.
Get it ready
Sort recycling and organic waste out of the trash, because state and local law require it. Recyclables go loose, paper travels in its own compartment and plastics, glass and cans in the other, and a cardboard box larger than two cubic feet should be emptied, flattened and set on the ground next to the recycling cart. On-street yard material piles go out no more than seven days before the scheduled pickup.

One-time bulky waste landfill voucher

Accepted with preparation

The city and Recology Davis issue a One-Time Bulky Waste Landfill Voucher that is valid from May 1 to October 31, 2026 and was mailed to every Davis resident at the end of April. The voucher covers one free load at the Yolo County Central Landfill, up to a full-size pickup bed, a full-size van, or a small trailer less than three feet high and less than eight feet long.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. One voucher per City of Davis household for one free load at the Yolo County Central Landfill.

Get it ready
Separate the materials before the trip so the site can recycle what it can. The voucher accepts appliances, asphalt, bricks, concrete, bulky trash, dirt, soil, sod, electronic waste, furniture, mattresses, green waste, scrap metal, up to nine tires and wood, and it refuses business waste, commercial construction debris and pressure treated wood. Cover the load, because an untarped load is charged at the scale.

Couches and furniture

Accepted with preparation

Furniture is one of the materials the voucher accepts, and the landfill fee schedule charges household furnishing such as a single sofa or chair by the piece. The city also asks residents to donate usable furniture first, and warns that leaving a couch on the street or sidewalk is a City Code violation.

City cost & eligibility
$7 for Yolo County Central Landfill household furnishing rate for a single item such as a sofa or chair.

When & how
Self-haul loads are accepted Monday through Saturday from 6:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and a curbside pickup is scheduled by calling Recology Davis at 530-756-4646.

Keep the piece out of the street, the sidewalk and the front yard unless a collection is actually scheduled, because the city treats that as illegal dumping. Take cushions and loose parts off before the load, keep the item off the bike lane, and cover the load in the vehicle or trailer because an untarped load is charged at the scale.

Accepted with preparation

Mattresses and box springs are recycled free at the Recology Davis recycling center at 2727 2nd Street during buyback hours and at the Yolo County Central Landfill.

Washers, dryers and stoves

Accepted with preparation

The city sends an appliance that no longer works to the Yolo County Central Landfill for recycling, and the county fee schedule prices each appliance type per unit. The hauler states that curbside bulky item pickup does not include appliances, so an appliance moves by self-haul or inside the voucher load.

City cost & eligibility
$16 for Yolo County Central Landfill appliance rate for dishwashers, water heaters and ovens, with small appliances such as microwaves, lawn mowers and barbecues listed at $10 each.

Get it ready
Empty the unit, tape or strap the doors so they stay closed in transit, and remove loose cords that could catch during unloading. Keep an appliance out of the curbside carts and out of a curbside bulky pickup, because the hauler does not collect appliances that way.

Refrigerators and other cooling appliances

Accepted with preparation

Computers, monitors and small electronics

Accepted with preparation

The Yolo County Central Landfill accepts electronics for recycling every day from anyone who lives in Yolo County, and the county fee schedule lists a small residential electronic waste load at no charge. Electronic waste is also on the acceptable material list for the Davis bulky waste voucher.

City cost & eligibility
No charge.

Get it ready
Wipe personal data from a computer, phone or drive before it leaves the house, remove loose batteries where the device allows it, and keep electronics out of the curbside carts. Ask about battery and fluorescent disposal at the same trip, because the landfill takes paint, batteries, electronics and fluorescent bulbs and tubes from residents free every day during normal hours.

Televisions

Accepted with preparation

A television travels as electronic waste. The city names television sets and computer monitors in the same sentence as the electronics the landfill accepts every day, and the county fee schedule makes a small residential electronic waste load free.

Construction and demolition debris

Special rules apply

Construction and demolition material is not part of curbside collection, and commercial construction debris is refused with the voucher. A permitted Davis construction, demolition or renovation project has to divert 100 percent of land clearing debris and 65 percent of the other debris and file a diversion plan and report, so the load goes to the landfill as a priced self-haul or through the hauler.

City cost & eligibility
From $32 for Yolo County Central Landfill construction and demolition rate for a full size pickup, full size van or trailer load, with mixed loads weighed at $90 per ton when 70 percent of the material is recoverable and $100 per ton at 50 percent. Self-haul the material to the landfill at 44090 County Road 28H. Commercial construction debris is refused with the Davis bulky waste voucher, and any permitted Davis construction, demolition or renovation project must divert 100 percent of land clearing debris and 65 percent of other debris with a diversion plan and a diversion report.
When & how
Take the load to the landfill Monday through Saturday from 6:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. or Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Plan the diversion paperwork before the permit, because the diversion report and weight receipts are due before the final inspection.
Get it ready
Keep construction material out of the curbside carts and out of the voucher load when it is commercial construction debris, and keep pressure treated wood separate because it is charged at its own higher rate. Clean asphalt, clean concrete and clean gravel are accepted at no charge, while concrete or asphalt mixed with soil is charged by weight.
Construction and demolition debris diversion requirementsYolo County Central Landfill hours, waste acceptance and standard fee scheduleDavis bulky waste voucher terms and accepted materials

Exercise equipment

Special rules apply

No Davis or Yolo County page names exercise equipment. A machine is bulky waste rather than a named item, so the packet asks the reader to confirm the piece with Recology Davis or the landfill and prices it from the published bulky waste lines instead of promising a route that was never published.

City cost & eligibility
The landfill prices a single household furnishing such as a sofa or chair at $7 and oversized bulky waste such as a hot tub or a tree stump at $135 per ton, and Recology Davis quotes its curbside bulky item pickup by phone at 530-756-4646. Confirm the machine and its condition before loading it, because a heavy machine may be weighed rather than charged as a single piece.
When & how
Call Recology Davis at 530-756-4646 or the landfill scale house at 530-666-8729 before the trip, then take a confirmed self-haul load to the landfill Monday through Saturday from 6:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. or Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Get it ready
Take off loose weights, pedals and straps so nothing falls during handling, fold the frame where the machine allows it, and keep the piece out of the curbside carts. Cover the load in the vehicle or trailer, because an untarped load is charged at the scale.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

For the weekly carts

Roll the carts out with the wheels against the curb and the opening facing the street, keep them three feet apart and three feet from parked vehicles, and do not block the bike lane or the sidewalk. Carts can go out after 5:00 p.m. the day before collection and should be back in by 7:00 a.m. the day after, and a recycling cart comes with two compartments so paper stays separate from plastics, glass and cans.

Waste collection service: carts, schedule and set-out rules

For a voucher trip to the landfill

Bring the bulky waste voucher and proof of residency that matches the address on it, and keep the load to a full-size pickup bed, a full-size van, or a small trailer less than three feet high and less than eight feet long. Separate the materials so the site can recycle what it can, cover the load because an untarped load is charged, and pay for anything beyond the one free load.

For a paid curbside bulky pickup

Call Recology Davis at 530-756-4646 to schedule a bulky item pickup and to get the collection and hauling price, then put the confirmed items at the curb for the scheduled day. Appliances are not part of curbside bulky pickup, and nothing should be left at the curb on a day when no collection is scheduled, because the city treats household items left on the street or sidewalk as illegal dumping.

Schedule a curbside bulky item pickup

A household that cannot transport a bulky item and wants the city's franchise hauler to collect it at the curb.

Cost & conditions
Recology Davis charges a collection and hauling fee for a curbside bulky item pickup and publishes no rate, so call customer service at 530-756-4646 for the current price. There is no published per-item fee for this service.
Arrange it
Call Recology Davis at 530-756-4646, describe the items, get the price, and set them at the curb on the scheduled day. Housing that subscribes to assisted service can ask about the same special pickup appointment.

Plan a permitted project around the diversion rules

A household or contractor running a permitted construction, demolition or renovation project in Davis.

Cost & conditions
The landfill prices construction loads by the load or by the ton depending on how much of the material is recoverable, and clean asphalt, clean concrete and clean gravel are accepted at no charge. The city does not publish a fee for the diversion plan or report, and a hauler quotes its own container price, so confirm both before the work starts.
Arrange it
File the construction and demolition diversion plan before the permit, keep the load separated by material, and submit the diversion report with weight receipts before the final inspection. Clean asphalt, concrete and gravel are separated out because the landfill takes them at no charge.

The ordinance requires 100 percent diversion of land clearing debris and 65 percent diversion of other construction and demolition debris, and the report applies even when Recology Davis hauls the material. Commercial construction debris is refused with the bulky waste voucher, and pressure treated wood is charged at its own rate.

Recycling center, buyback center and free mattress recycling

Recology Davis Recycling Center

2727 2nd Street, Davis, CA

Paper, plastics, cardboard, aluminum, metal cans, scrap metal, used motor oil and filters and cartons around the clock, plus mattresses and box springs and used sharps during buyback hours.

Mattress and box spring recycling is only during buyback hours, and the same mattress exclusions apply, so a futon must be separated from its frame and wet, soiled, infested or severely damaged mattresses are refused. There is no curbside collection at this site, so the drop-off is a self-haul trip.

Recyclables are accepted around the clock. The buyback center, mattress recycling and sharps drop-off are open Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

No charge. Free drop-off recycling at any hour for paper, plastics, cardboard, aluminum, metal cans, scrap metal, used motor oil and filters and cartons, and free mattress, box spring and used sharps drop-off during buyback hours. California Redemption Value containers are redeemed for money at the buyback center.

Before you book

Your questions.
Straight answers.

Prices, timing and the details that matter at your address.

How much does pickup cost?

Choose your items to see the exact price. A standard sofa is $79 first and $29 additional. The highest first-item price applies once; every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Review any applicable sales tax and the final total before payment.

Can I book a pickup for today?

Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Choose from the dates shown at checkout. Your booking is for a pickup day, and we text you when your hauler is on the way.

Do my items need to be outside when I book?

You can book while your items are still inside. Arrange any indoor carrying and have everything outside and accessible according to your confirmation. We load and haul it away from there. Contact us before booking if your property has restricted access.

How does the Davis bulky waste voucher work?

Every Davis household was mailed one voucher that is valid from May 1 to October 31, 2026 for a single free load at the Yolo County Central Landfill. Bring the voucher and proof of residency that matches the address on it, keep the load to a full-size pickup bed, a full-size van or a small trailer under three feet high and under eight feet long, and pay for anything beyond that load. A lost voucher can be replaced through Recology Davis.Official guidance

Where does a couch go in Davis?

A couch goes to the Yolo County Central Landfill, either in the one free load covered by the Davis bulky waste voucher or as a paid self-haul, and the landfill charges household furnishing by the piece. Recology Davis will also collect a bulky item at the curb for a fee quoted by phone, and usable furniture is better donated than thrown away.Official guidance

How do I recycle a mattress in Davis?

Mattresses and box springs are recycled free at the Recology Davis recycling center at 2727 2nd Street during buyback hours and at the Yolo County Central Landfill. Separate a futon mattress from its frame or base first, and leave behind a wet, soiled, infested or severely damaged mattress along with waterbeds, air mattresses without upholstery and sofa beds, because the recycler refuses them.Official guidance

Where do Davis washers, dryers and stoves go?

A non-working appliance goes to the Yolo County Central Landfill for recycling, where the county fee schedule prices each appliance type per unit, or it can ride in the one free load covered by the Davis bulky waste voucher. Recology Davis states that its curbside bulky item pickup does not include appliances, so an appliance cannot be left at the curb for that service.Official guidance

Can I recycle a computer or monitor in Davis?

Yes. The Yolo County Central Landfill accepts electronics for recycling every day from Yolo County residents, and the county fee schedule lists a small residential electronic waste load at no charge. Wipe the device first and keep electronics out of the curbside carts, and expect a business load to be charged instead.Official guidance

What does Davis charge to get rid of a large item?

One load is free each year through the bulky waste voucher, and mattresses, small residential electronic waste loads and clean concrete, asphalt and gravel are free at the Yolo County Central Landfill. Everything else is priced by the load or by the weight on the county fee schedule, and a curbside bulky pickup from Recology Davis is quoted by phone. Dropcurb prices a pickup separately and shows the total before payment.Official guidance

Can I take my own load to the Yolo County Central Landfill?

Yes. The landfill at 44090 County Road 28H in Woodland is open Monday through Saturday from 6:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and every load is weighed at the scale house, where payment is by cash, check or credit card. Cover the load, because an untarped load is charged, and check the holiday closure list before a trip.Official guidance

Where do Davis paint, batteries and fluorescent bulbs go?

Any household that lives in Yolo County can take paint, batteries, cleaning products, propane canisters, medicines, fluorescent bulbs and tubes and other chemicals to the Yolo County Central Landfill free on Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and the landfill takes paint, batteries, electronics and fluorescent bulbs and tubes from residents free every day during normal hours. Businesses may not use the household drop-off, and students living on the UC Davis campus use the campus program instead.Official guidance

Can I just leave a couch or mattress on the street?

No. The city says illegally dumping household trash, mattresses and furniture around cans and dumpsters is expensive to clean up, and leaving furniture, mattresses or other household items in front of a property or on the street and sidewalk is a City Code violation and a safety hazard for bicyclists and pedestrians. Use the bulky waste voucher, a paid curbside pickup, or a donation instead.Official guidance
