Dumpster rental
in Yuba City.

Inside Yuba City, a debris box at a house comes from Recology Yuba-Sutter, the City's exclusive franchisee; other dumpster companies cannot lawfully drop a box here. Use the four free bulky pickups for furniture first. Before booking a box for more than three days, ask Code Enforcement whether the nuisance code's 72-hour limit applies to your cleanout.

The first decision in Yuba City

Check the city boundary first.

There is one box provider, not a field to compare. Recology offers 9-yard dirt boxes and 15- to 40-yard debris boxes and charges rent after seven days, but it posts no prices, and its City contract bills drop boxes per haul plus disposal by the ton, so the weight of your debris drives the cost. Your real alternatives are the free bulky-item pickups or a free transfer station pass, self-hauling to the Marysville transfer station, or a contractor who hauls your debris in their own truck without a box.

Your local checklist

Confirm your parcel is inside the City of Yuba City and not in unincorporated Sutter County or across the river in Marysville, since the City franchise and nuisance code apply only inside City limits.
Call Recology Yuba-Sutter at (530) 743-6933 and get the haul charge, the per-ton disposal rate, the rental days and the daily charge after seven days in writing before delivery.
Keep the box on your driveway; if it must go on the street or sidewalk, apply for an encroachment permit with Yuba City Public Works (pwpermits@yubacity.net, 530-822-4626) first, and ask how long the box may stay at the house.

01 / SOURCE-CHECKED LISTING

Recology Yuba-Sutter (City of Yuba City exclusive franchised hauler)

Published sizes: 9-yard open dirt box and 15-, 20-, 25-, 30- and 40-yard open debris boxes; dimensions are not published. Boxes for wood only or metal only are offered at reduced rates, according to the regional waste authority.
Rental & weight terms: Recology says rental charges apply to boxes left on site more than seven days (the daily rate is not published). Loads must be spread evenly and stay below the rim. No hazardous waste, paint, oil, auto parts, chemicals, electronics, asbestos, serpentine rock or tires. The City franchise prices drop boxes as a per-haul charge plus disposal or processing by the ton, so ask what tonnage is billed. Online requests are not orders; a representative calls back to confirm delivery.
Price basis: Not published; request a written quote that states the haul charge, the per-ton disposal or C&D processing rate, the rental days and the daily charge after seven days.

This is the only company that may place a debris box at a Yuba City home. The City's franchise agreement with Recology Yuba-Sutter (term October 1, 2019 to September 30, 2029) grants it the exclusive right in the City to collect and transport solid waste, construction and demolition debris and bulky items. Other companies may remove a customer's materials only as part of their own work, in their own truck, and only if no drop box is used. The City's garbage page names Recology Yuba-Sutter (3001 N. Levee Rd., Marysville; 530-743-6933), and its contact page lists the customer service office at 300 4th Street, Marysville, and Yuba City among the communities served.

Keep the Recology box on your driveway for 72 hours or less unless the City approves more; the street needs an encroachment permit

Recology's debris-box order page warns that a city permit may be required if the box is placed on a public street. Yuba City Public Works says an encroachment permit is required for work in the public right-of-way, including equipment or structures placed on the street or sidewalk. The application asks for a sketch, a traffic-control plan, a contractor's and business license number, 24 hours' notice to the City construction inspector at (530) 713-1731, and insurance naming the City as additional insured ($2 million general liability, $1 million auto). Fees are filled in by the City and are not published, and no page we read names debris boxes, so ask Public Works (1201 Civic Center Blvd.; 530-822-4626; pwpermits@yubacity.net) before a box goes in the street. Most Yuba City tract homes have a driveway that fits a 15- or 20-yard box, which avoids the permit. Plan the timing carefully: Yuba City's neighborhood-preservation code (§ 4-8.101(x)) treats storing boxes, containers or dumpsters for more than 72 consecutive hours as a nuisance unless the City Manager permits more or the work is ongoing construction, so for a cleanout, schedule delivery and pickup within three days or ask the City first.

What matters locally

Four free bulky-item pickups a year for Yuba City houses, or swap one for a transfer station pass

The Yuba-Sutter Regional Waste Management Authority says single-family customers in Yuba City get four free bulky-item collections a year, up to five items each, booked in advance with Recology at (530) 743-6933. Any of the four can be traded for a free pass to the Recology transfer station instead. Refrigerators and air conditioners carry a Freon certification charge of about $17 each. For a couch, a mattress and an old washer, this can be cheaper than a box; mattresses can also go free to Evans Furniture Warehouse at 379 Epley Drive in Yuba City (Monday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.) or to the transfer station, up to four a day.

Free Saturday hazardous-waste drop-off on Burns Drive; self-haul goes to the Marysville transfer station

Paint, solvents, motor oil, batteries, fluorescent tubes and electronics cannot go in a debris box. Sutter and Yuba County households can take them free, with no appointment, to the Yuba-Sutter Household Hazardous Waste Facility at 134 Burns Drive off Garden Highway in south Yuba City, open Saturdays 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. except holidays; the limit is 15 gallons or 125 pounds a trip plus 20 gallons of used oil, in containers of 5 gallons or less. If you haul debris yourself, the Recology Yuba-Sutter transfer station is at 3001 N. Levee Road, Marysville, open daily (Recology lists 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; the authority's page says 7 a.m.); neither page publishes self-haul prices, so call (530) 743-6933 first.

Before you book

Questions about renting in Yuba City.

Can I rent a dumpster from any company for my Yuba City house?

No. The City's 2019 franchise agreement gives Recology Yuba-Sutter the exclusive right in Yuba City to collect and haul solid waste, construction and demolition debris and bulky items. The only outside haulers allowed are those removing material as part of their own job (a gardener, contractor or cleanout service) in their own truck and with no drop box. The regional waste authority says the City's Recology franchise includes roll-off box service. You may still haul your own debris to a disposal site.

Do I need a permit to put a debris box in front of my Yuba City house?

On the street or sidewalk, yes. Recology warns that a city permit may be needed for a box on a public street, and Yuba City Public Works requires an encroachment permit for equipment or structures placed on the street or sidewalk, with a traffic-control plan, insurance naming the City and 24 hours' notice to the City inspector. Fees are not published. A box on your own driveway does not need that permit, but City Code § 4-8.101(x) treats keeping a dumpster at a property for more than 72 consecutive hours as a nuisance unless the City permits more or it serves ongoing construction, so keep a cleanout box for three days or less or ask the City first.
