Only Rain in the Drain
Help us protect our stormwater systems by ensuring no leaves end up in the gutter! Raking leaves into the gutter negatively affects our local environment & wildlife and can lead to localized flooding, pollution in the Napa River, and increased mosquito presence.
Avoid blowing, raking or piling leaves into the gutter and instead utilize your yard waste bin from Recology Vallejo-American Canyon. Need an additional waste bin? Contact Recology today!

Fat, Oil, and Greases Belong in the Trash – NOT the Drain!
We know you are excited to cook your special meals and have your family together again. As you do, please remember that Fats, Oils, and Greases (FOG) should not go down the drain.

 Sites is a First of its Kind
Sites Reservoir is a 21st-century water storage system designed with both environmental values and water supply needs in mind. For the first time, there will be water dedicated specifically for the environment. This will ensure fish, birds, and other sensitive species and their habitats can withstand drier year conditions. The City of American Canyon became a proud partner of the project in 2017.
