18th Annual 2011 Doggy Dash

Join the Sacramento SPCA for the 18th Annual Doggy Dash and Bark at the Park Festival on Saturday, June 4th in beautiful William Land Park. An estimated 5,000 animal enthusiasts will gather both with and without their canine companions to raise funds for animals sheltered at the Sacramento SPCA. For 17 years, two- and four-legged participants have attended this event, creating a tradition in Sacramento and transforming Doggy Dash into one of the biggest "can't miss" events of the year!

Visit with pet-friendly businesses, learn about Sacramento-area animal rescue organizations, or just have lunch while watching all the action.

Household Hazardous Waste Drop-Off Days

Hello!

The Yolo County Central Landfill now offers Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Drop-Off Days every Friday and Saturday, from 7:30 am to 3:30 pm. Yolo County residents can dispose of their propane canisters, pharmaceuticals (non-controlled), fluorescent bulbs and tubes, cleaning products, mercury thermometers, paint, automotive products, pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, used syringes, etc. for free at these events—see the attached flier for details. 

It is a violation of California state law to dispose of hazardous materials in the trash. This includes televisions, computer monitors, microwaves, refrigerators or other “hazardous waste” items such as fluorescent bulbs, batteries, automotive fluid, cleaning supplies, paint, etc. When dumpsters are emptied at the landfill, crews look for hazardous waste items that were thrown in. If they find these items in your dumpster, they WILL pull them out and they WILL charge you extra for it. 

Davis Waste Removal and the City of Davis are hosting a free electronics recycling event on January 15. The event will take place rain or shine 9 a.m.-1 p.m. at the Davis Waste Removal office, 2727 Second Street, Davis. Davis Waste Removal will partner with California Electronic Asset Recovery, recognized for its efficient recycling program, to recycle the electronics and give the proceeds to Davis Community Meals. Electronics can also be recycled for free at the Yolo County Central Landfill every day during normal landfill hours (M-Sat 6:30 am- 4pm, Sun 9-5).

Thank you!
