Recology Yuba-Sutter Landfill - Marysville, California Solid Waste Management Facility

Recology Yuba-Sutter Landfill is an operational solid waste facility located at 3001 North Levee Road in Marysville, California. It serves the Yuba-Sutter area and is classified under NAICS codes 562111, 562212, 562213, and 562219, covering waste collection, treatment, and disposal services. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US EPA, including RCRA Subtitle D for municipal solid waste landfills and Clean Air Act landfill gas rules. As a landfill in California, it must comply with state-specific regulations such as CalRecycle requirements for landfill gas monitoring and leachate management. The landfill plays a key role in managing solid waste for the surrounding communities. Its environmental significance includes potential methane generation, which is typically captured or flared to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Leachate management and groundwater monitoring are critical operational aspects to protect local water resources.

The landfill is located in the Sacramento Valley, an agricultural region with a Mediterranean climate. Proximity to the Feather River and groundwater aquifers necessitates robust leachate management and groundwater monitoring to prevent contamination. Methane generation from decomposing waste requires gas collection systems to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and odor impacts on nearby communities.
