(STOCKTON) – The San Joaquin County Department of Public Works announced today that it will implement a temporary change in the public self-haul operating days at the North County Recycling Center and Sanitary Landfill beginning Saturday, July 16, 2022.

This change will close public self-haul services on Saturdays and Sundays at the North County site until further notice and redirect County residents to the Foothill Sanitary Landfill or Lovelace Materials Recovery Facility and Transfer Station. Commercial waste hauling will remain unchanged at all sites.

“Reducing operating days at the North County site is necessary to maintain safe operations for customers and staff, as well as maintain regulatory compliance at all three self-haul service locations,” explained Fritz Buchman, San Joaquin County Public Works Director. “The County is making an all-out effort to recruit qualified workers to fill open positions. We fully expect this to be a temporary inconvenience and anticipate that the public self-haul services will be restored as job openings are filled.”
