Fats, Oils and Grease
Fats, 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.
- Small Volumes of Liquid - If the cooking oil is absorbed by a paper napkin or paper towel, the oily paper can be placed in your organics cart.
- Fat Solids – Food fats that are solid at room temperature are accepted in the organics cart.
- Large Volumes – Yolo County Central Landfill at 44090 County Road 28H, Woodland, CA accepts used cooking oil daily for a fee. During their household hazardous waste disposal hours on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 7:30am – 3:30 pm the fee is waived.
- Assisted Services - Seniors (65 and older) and disabled residents who are unable to drive may be eligible for a free pick-up appointment of used cooking oil and household hazardous waste. Call (916) 617-4656 to learn more.
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.
