Yountville residents-you have been selected! Flexible Plastics Recycling Pilot Program Coming Soon! This is a temporary program to collect feedback and to test different collection programs that expand California’s recycling efforts. UVDS is excited to help create new recycling markets for materials that normally end up in landfills.
In the coming weeks, you’ll receive a 5-gallon bucket and interior collection bags. Simply fill the bag with flexible plastics, place it in the bucket, and set the bucket out next to your carts on your regular service day.
This pilot will run for six months as we test this new recycling option. More details are coming soon — no action needed yet. Thank you for helping shape a more sustainable future!

Upper Valley Disposal & Recycling offer many ways for single family residents and multifamily dwellings and tenants to dispose of unwanted items that cannot go in the curbside carts/bins. If your items are still useful, we suggest that you try and find a reuse center that will take it as a donation before calling UVD&R to schedule a collection.
This includes Bulky Item Collection, Motor Oil & Filters Collection, and Ink Cartridge Mail-in Recycling.
The Bulky Item Collection program is available to all single family residents and multifamily tenants, including mobile home residents, who have their own service and multifamily residents who have their own service and are responsible for the bill.
Multifamily Dwellings with shared service and the property pays the bill are allowed 2 collective collections per year at no charge for the apartment building. Once these are used, items can be collected for a fee per item. The property manager must call to request a collection for the property. Collections cannot be requested by individual tenants.
If you are a single family resident, mobile home tenant or multifamily tenant with your own service and you pay your own bill, you can email us through the inquiry form or call the office (707) 963-7988 to request a bulky item collection.
Bulky items include discarded appliances, furniture, tires, carpets, mattresses, and similar large items. It does not include abandoned automobiles, large auto parts, or trees.
For each collection we can pick up:
If you are a property manager of an apartment building with shared services and one collective bill, call us today and we will get you on our schedule!
If you are a tenant with your own services and are responsible for paying your own bill directly to UVD&R, you too can call and request a collection.
Did you know that used motor oil never wears out? It just gets dirty and can be recycled, cleaned, and used again. Recycling used motor oil conserves a natural resource (oil) and is also good for the environment. Motor oil poured onto the ground, into storm drains, or tossed into trash cans (even in a sealed container) can contaminate and pollute the soil, groundwater, streams, and rivers. It’s also illegal. Recycling your used motor oil reduces this pollution threat.
Residents can call our office at (707) 963-7988 and request a “Used Oil Recovery Kit” at no cost. Each kit contains: one (1) reusable 2.5 gallon plastic jug and one (1) plastic resealable bag for the oil filter. Once you have your kit, call the office so a work order can be made to collect the oil and filter on your collection day. Without a work order, the used oil & filter cannot be collected.
Currently only 30% of ink cartridges are recycled. It’s estimated that over 375 million cartridges are thrown away each year!
We want to keep these items out of landfills and you can help out at no cost to you with the Free Mail-in Ink Recycling Service.
