Please fill your organics cart first before placing yard materials in piles on the street. Since we are expecting rain (yay!) we need to keep yard material piles out of the street gutter to ensure that rainwater can flow freely and not cause localized flooding.

Rain is in the forecast! A reminder to turn off sprinklers in preparation for the storm and for 48 hours after a rain event. Running sprinklers during the rain not only wastes water, it also increases the amount of water flowing into the City’s storm drain system.

Food scrap pails
While supplies last, the City has kitchen food scrap pails available for residents to use for collecting food scraps inside their homes and then emptying the scraps into the organics cart.
Single-family customers that would like to receive a pail can contact Recology Davis at 530-756-4646 or the City's Public Works Utilities and Operations Department at 530-757-5686 to schedule a pick-up time.
If you live in an apartment and did not receive a kitchen pail, please contact your manager--they may have your pail. If they do not have a pail, contact Recology Davis at 530-756-4646 or the City's Public Works Utilities and Operations Department at 530-757-5686 to schedule a pick-up time.
TIP: To make collection easier, line your pail with newspaper, junk mail or a compostable bag (a 3-gallon size bag fits well). The vented lid helps prevent odors while you are collecting food scraps, but after emptying, it's a good idea to wash out your pail (the kitchen pails are dishwasher safe). Spray with vinegar or sprinkle with baking soda to control odors when necessary.
