Most everyone is aware that being Green means recycling and not polluting or littering air, water,…read moreor ground. More and more people are becoming conscious to REDUCE their consumption, REUSE (or donate) anything possible, REPAIR anything possible, and ultimately RECYCLE what remains. In addition, anything that is toxic like batteries, unusable paint, yard chemicals, solvents, oils, aerosol cans, fluorescent light bulbs, anything that does not decompose into dirt, must be disposed of safely and most likely can be recycled in some form. Sonoma County Landfill has a household toxic disposal/recycling center which I use whenever I need to. I never, ever put anything toxic in my trash or recycle bins at home. This has been my reason for coming to the Sonoma County Landfill. Not to put anything at all into the landfill, but to make sure that anything from my household that is toxic be recycled. There is usually a line of trucks and cars up to the toxic recycling station, but it moves quite fast. You are told to stay in your vehicle, handed a clip board with a simple form to fill out stating you are a Sonoma County resident, and when you reach the drop-off station the attendant takes your toxics out of your car trunk or pickup bed. Pretty Simple! The Residential: Household Toxic Disposal & Recycling station is only open Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 7:30 am to 2:30 pm. There is another way to recycle other more common things at Sonoma County Landfill. Just around the corner from the Household Toxics station are a series of huge dumpsters. One each for plastics, metals, glass, paper, cardboard, etc. For me, I am a little uncomfortable putting some items in my home recycle bin like EMPTY yard insecticide plastic bottles, or Roundup plastic bottles, empty paint cans, plastics without the recycle number, things like that . . . even though it is probably okay to do so. I just drive up to the giant recycle dumpsters and put those things in their respective dumpster. Since construction crews unload industrial amounts of these materials into these dumpsters, it makes me feel like my little recyclable items will be included in the big melt downs and not sorted out; I could be wrong. Note: All these services are Free! The one thing that Sonoma County Landfill does Not recycle is Styrofoam (polystyrene). So, that means everyone in Sonoma County throws this toxic stuff into the land fill. Not Good! What I do is save all my Styrofoam in my garage until I have a car full and then drive down to Hayward (1 1/2 hours away) to a company that truly recycles Styrofoam. I am dedicated to doing my part to be environmentally responsible. I produce extremely little garbage in my life. I have the smallest garbage can (20 gallon) of the four sizes available from our disposal company. It takes me weeks to fill it up. Everything else I consume goes into either the blue recycle bin or the green bin for yard/food composting. I drive a low emissions vehicle and I am a vegan (you wouldn't believe how much being vegan helps the environment). Making my carbon footprint as low as humanly possible is my goal . . . kind of like the Native Americans did with their harmony with Nature. I wish . . . I was that skillful! At least, I have an ideal to aim for. Review 0073

Helped a friend recently with recycling her cans, glass bottles, and plastics…read more We went mid day on a weekday so they weren't crowded. Staff was helpful, they appeared to give us an accurate amount of money back - exactly what you want out of a recycling place. We did have to take the tops off the glass bottles, in case you are going there.

This is never a pleasant experience. But I have to say that it is run very smoothly. If you seem…read morelike you don't know exactly what you are supposed to do to do, the guys there are very friendly and always willing to help. I help two clients of mine save their cans and bottles and I save my cans and bottles and bring them in to make extra money, every little adds up! I definitely suggest going to this place!!

I cannot overstate the value of this place, though one should arrive in the correct frame of mind. You're coming to a facility where things are being saved from the landfill. Here in Sonoma , that often means some very good things! Much of my own property is fortified with materials I've found here. The prices are negotiable and it's sort of like being in the "old country". You're going to bargain for things. The people who run this place are total characters, colorful, and I love them. It's a labor of love on their part . This unique and special experience can be very hit or miss, so just come with an open mind. There are rules, because dealing with the public here is like herding cats. I've been yelled at for parking in the wrong spot, and I've been yelled at for pulling something down that wasn't supposed to come off of the shelf. I've also been embraced as a regular customer and they even me a Christmas card every year. Let's face it, in the sterile Bay of 2026, most places like this have long been neutralized. This is a colorful blast from the past, blessings to all of you guys at recycle town! I love you Rick, Ronee, Ron, Wendy, Judy, Baby, Paul et al.

I loaded my truck with lots of 1970's electronics: 2 tv sets with integrated vcr, a record…read moreturntable, cd players, amplifiers, a vacuum cleaner, a microwave, phone answering machine and a few other items I could not identify but had cords to plug into a 110 outlet. So what's good about "Computer Recycling"? I pulled up, dropped the tailgate, a guy comes out and starts taking all the crappy electronics out and stacking it with other junk people delivered. I helped - but this guy unloaded the microwave which was heavy. I then got back into my truck and drove off. What could be nicer than that?! Free disposal of all this old nasty electronic crap. If you are a landlord or your brother-in-law moves out of your house, you will love this place! I can't tell you how exhilarating it was to drive off and leave all of that stuff. No papers to sign, no cranky old guy to say, "I don't know... that looks like nasty stuff." Just drive up, dump it and leave. Who knows? Maybe you can get rid of your brother-in-law too! They may have a job for him sorting all the stuff out. He could probably handle it with some supervision.

The woman said they only work on the computers they sell and since they sell over-priced junk, I guess they're not going to be fixing any computers.

Other reviews or comments may not agree when it comes to their promptness of service, but what they don't usually take into account is, it's not always the employees you see that are to blame for this. I believe this is mostly due to a lack of staffing or the scheduling of them. Not to mention the other issue, that being the customers that these employees have to deal with. You know the ones that don't have their stuff together or just flat out have a less than amiable attitude. Anyways, this is my favorite UPS store.

Although, one thing that came to my attention was that the drying machines were dusty inside under the drum but that didn't seem to make my clothes dirty. There are four different size washers: 20lb $3.25/25 minutes wash 30lb $4.75 40lb $6.50 60lb $9.50 I needed to launder a week of clothes and so I only know the time for the 20lb machine. The dryers seem to only come in one size: large. The dry time was $0.25/6 minutes and it took me about $1.00 to dry on medium for my week of clothes. They sell detergent here but it's probably much cheaper just to bring your own. On a 7:15pm Saturday night about half the parking lot was occupied and 20% of the washing machines occupied and 15% of the drying machines used.
