The Regional Waste Management Authority and Recology Yuba-Sutter have implemented an Electronic Waste Recycling Program for Yuba and Sutter County residents and businesses. Electronic waste items can now be recycled at two locations -- the Recology Yuba-Sutter Transfer Station in Marysville and, effective April 14, 2007, at the Yuba-Sutter Household Hazardous Waste Facility in Yuba City. Televisions, monitors and other electronic waste must be packed, transported and unloaded so as to avoid breakage. Please contact the Recology Yuba-Sutter Environmental Department at (530) 743-6933 for assistance in disposing of equipment with broken screens or broken cathode ray tube (CRT) glass.

Examples of recyclable electronic waste items:

• Televisions and computer monitors
• Telephones and answering machines
• Computers and computer peripherals
• Radios
• Stereo and video equipment
• Calculators
• Microwave ovens
• Portable LCD screen DVD players

Disposal of these items in garbage or recycling containers is prohibited.

Recology Yuba-Sutter Transfer Station

Electronic waste items can be recycled at the Recology Yuba-Sutter Transfer Station located at 3001 N. Levee Road off of Highway 20, just east of Marysville. Consumer electronic materials are accepted at this facility 7 days a week from 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Electronic waste items are accepted free of charge, however disposal weight charges will be assessed on the entire load if other non-electronic waste items are included in the load. (Residents and businesses must be able to unload and carry their own equipment.) Businesses, schools, non-profits and government agencies must complete an Electronic Waste Delivery/Collection Tracking Form or a bill of lading certifying that the electronic waste is from a California source. Businesses and other entities with large numbers of electronic waste items must also call Recology Yuba-Sutter at (530) 743-6933 in advance to schedule a drop off. Collection of electronic waste can also be arranged for a fee.

Yuba-Sutter Household Hazardous Waste Facility

Beginning April 14, 2007, there is new collection location for electronic waste recycling for Yuba and Sutter County households -- the Yuba-Sutter Household Hazardous Waste Facility located at 134 Burns Drive off of Garden Highway, in South Yuba City. Consumer electronic materials from households are accepted at this facility on Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Electronic waste items are accepted free of charge.

Electronic waste from businesses, schools, local agencies and non-profit groups is not accepted at this location.
