*New Cuyama Transfer Station

Address: 5073 Highway 166
Phone: (805) 681-4345
Most materials dropped off at the New Cuyama Transfer Station are processed by MarBorg at their Materials Recovery Facility in Santa Barbara. Workers sort through the loads to recover recyclables, such as cardboard, scrap metal, untreated wood, cans, bottles, and even mattresses. Yard waste (including Christmas trees) are also accepted for recycling. We estimate that 50% of the waste generated from New Cuyama is recovered and recycled through these efforts.

In addition, this facility accepts old electronics and appliances, which are temporarily stored onsite and then transported to the County's South Coast Recycling and Transfer Station for consolidation and shipment to a certified recycler. Examples of electronics accepted are computers, laptops, monitors, printers, TVs, copiers, scanners, fax machines, VCRs, DVD players, small appliances (e.g. vacuums, hair dryers, shavers), vinyl records, cell phones, MP3 players, holiday lights, and video game systems.

Hours of Operation

This facility is open on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays from 11:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. There are no tipping fees at this facility.
