Acceptable/Unacceptable Materials:
Kiefer Landfill is permitted to accept household waste,
recyclable material and hard to handle wastes from the public, businesses, and private waste haulers. Customers are not required to be residents of Sacramento County. There is a Special Waste Facility onsite that has different operating days and hours.
GREEN WASTE and CLEAN WOOD are banned from disposal by California Law. GREEN WASTE (leaves, grass clippings, branches, prunings, etc.) and CLEAN WOOD must be:
- Separated from all other disposal materials, and
- Dropped off in the Green Waste/Wood Waste area for composting
- GREEN WASTE/CLEAN WOOD loads with small amounts of trash will be charged the Green Waste/Clean Wood rate.
*It is required to remove GREEN WASTE from bags and remove oiled, stained, painted or treated wood from CLEAN WOOD, e.g., remove treated fence posts from fence boards.
Additional fees may be added at the Scales for customers refusing to separate and drop off this material at the Green Waste/Wood Waste area.
By keeping Green Waste and Clean Wood out of landfills, we reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions, extend landfill capacity, and create beneficial mulch/compost.

Landfill & Gas-to-Energy Plant:
The landfill facility sits on 1,084 acres near the intersection of Kiefer Boulevard and Grant Line Road and is surrounded by more than 3,000 acres of open space. Most of these buffer lands will remain in agricultural use and for habitat protection. The Gas-to-Energy Plant opened in 1999 and removes gases from decaying garbage. Gas generated at the landfill powers 8,900 homes in the Sacramento area.
