We recently had a bunch of furniture deliveries to our house that came in huge cardboard boxes. We…read moreknew it would take weeks for us to dispose of the cardboard in our normal weekly trash collection, so I looked online to see if the Lincoln dump would take it. We had been to the dump (Western Placer Waste Management Authority) a few months earlier to dispose of old paint cans that the previous homeowners had left in the garage. I remember going to the dump and finding it very confusing. So I'll jot down how I think the process goes, based on our two visits: If you're disposing paints, turn right. It's free to dispose of the paints if you live in Placer County. If you're trying to get cash for recyclables (plastic bottles, aluminum cans, glass bottles) or you have a truck load of stuff you want to dump, turn left. You'll see a line of cars waiting for their turn to talk to the attendant. The attendant will ask what brings you in. We said we had a bunch of cardboard boxes, as well as buyback items (cans, etc). He then gave us a paper that said "Buyback" on it and told us to drive further down. The next attendant took our paper and then told us to park at a certain number. Behind/below that number was a dumpster where you would unload your items, which in our case was a bunch of cardboard. Boy, that felt so nice to get rid of the cardboard from our house (for free!) and also know it would be going somewhere to probably get recycled again. (We did confirm they do not take styrofoam). As we were finishing up, we noticed a truck pulling in next to us and a mother and son dumpling a trunk load of items like an old bicycle as well as other trash. I was curious so I asked them how much they were charged for their load. The woman told me it was $44. I thought the process was very interesting. People want to get rid of old household items so they'll bring it to the dump. The attendants will I guess eyeball the load (or possibly weigh it?) and give you a price to unload the items. There might be a different structure and area if you're unloading, say, a ton of lawn cuttings, tree branches, etc like our gardener did for our yard work project. Maybe that's like a compost section that we didn't get to see on our visits. Definitely glad we have this place nearby. Now we know where to go if we want to get rid of paint, cardboard or just junk! Prices seem very reasonable.

Nothing has changed. Workers are still very rude. Everyone charges a different price for a 1/2…read morepickup short bed full of trash. When you ask questions about prices they get irritated and give you very short and dismissive answers. If I talked to customers they way some of these workers do, I'd been fired a long time ago.

recently brought in a large batch of cans to Santana Recycling and the process was simple and…read morequick. I had already sorted everything and once I arrived things moved along smoothly. The workers are nice and helpful. They are out there even when it is hot and they helped me drag my barrels over after I finished sorting, which I appreciated. It can be a little difficult to spot at first since the recycling area is located behind the Lowe's, but once you know where it is, it is an easy stop if you have an abundance of cans to turn in. They also have a portable handwashing station, which I was grateful for because my hands were pretty sticky after handling all the cans. I feel like they pay well for aluminum and plastic goods making the effort to recycle more worth the work.

I had the day off today so I decided to load up our trunk with recyclables. Drove to our usual recycling place (NorCal Recycling behind Hobby Lobby on Douglas) and was bummed that they're closed on Mondays. Really didn't want to have to unload the bags or carry them around until the next time I could make it out there. Decided to come on Yelp to find another recycling center close by. Saw Santana Recycling on Fairway but had never heard of it or even had any idea where it was located. Skimmed the 8 reviews but didn't see any mention of the location. Figured it was probably on the side or the back of a building so I drove around and finally found it behind Big Lots (close to the Lyon building). Plenty of parking but if you want to be closer to the cashier, there are about 4 spots in closer proximity. Wasn't sure if they would bring the bins to me (like they do at NorCal Recycling) or if I was supposed to grab the bins, or lug my bags to the front or what. So I just grabbed a bundle of 3 bins to my car, dumped the different bags into corresponding bins (plastics, aluminum, glass) and then pushed the bins to the cashier. The cashier didn't say anything when he started weighing my bins so I greeted him instead. He responded politely and asked how I was doing. Weighing the items was fast and soon I was $12 richer and my trunk/garage was cleaner. :)

The staff is very supportive, although they appeared to be short staffed today. Apparently, others have discovered this special location as it was very busy today and people were lined up but we were in and out in 15-20 minutes. NOTE: Although, the signs say no crushed, if you are able to get the bar code available to be read, you should be ok. We just twist the item to semi-uncrushed so bar code can be read. Whatever you do at home, do not remove the wrapper with the bar code. Also note that more items are now recyclable. While we do recycle glass, we find glass to be not worth recycling due to weight and price per pound but we continue to do be recycling partners for California, even if it's glass.

I was pretty sure I couldn't put it in the trash and I was right- you absolutely cannot do that. Turns out you can take up to 15 gallons of household hazardous waste to this waste station for free every month- how cool is that! To further enhance this experience, they are open on Saturday. Heck ya! We spent the first half of the morning, doing some minimal garage, cleanup, loaded up my car and drove out there . It was really easy to follow the signs and drive into the hazardous household waste area. I would say I was there for about two minutes total. As soon as I drove up, three people came up to unloaded the back of my car the third came to my window and document in my drivers license. All three were incredibly kind! The man even shook my husband's hand when he said thank you - so refreshing to see nice people out in public. We were only able to leave them with 15 cans, but they gave us a brochure that details three other locations we could take it to that also allow us to dispose of 15 cans per month free of charge. Pretty amazing deal.

This collection center accepts various recyclables such as card board, metal, yard waste, dirt/concrete, appliances, and e-waste. They also accept hazardous waste such as batteries, chemicals, motor oil, coolant, oil filters, and paint, etc. Propane tanks smaller than the 20lb size can be disposed here. Styrofoam is no longer accepted. Service is always good as the workers are efficient at unloading hazardous waste and directing customers on where to place the recyclables. All recyclable items are placed into large 20' roll off bins. The yard waste and metal bin is very tall (approximately 6' tall) so it is easier to dispose of yard waste using a truck and standing in the bed to throw the items in. Gasoline can also be disposed here, but if you want to keep your gas can it requires coming back at a later date to pick it up after it has been emptied. Tires are accepted once a month during the tire recycling events. There is a limit for how many tires can be disposed.
