CityofGoleta
During this rainy week, the City of Goleta wants to remind the community that there are two self-service sandbag stations available in Goleta. Thank you to our Public Works Department for keeping these stocked:
- Fire Station 11 (6901 Frey Way and Storke Road just south of Santa Felicia, across from the main post office)
- Fire Station 14 (320 Los Carneros Road next to the Stow House Museum lot)
Here are some things you should know about sandbag pick up:
- Sand and bags are available on a first come, first served basis.
- Bring your shovel to fill the bags.
- Pick up is open during daylight hours, seven days/week.
- 20 bag limit (additional bags can be purchased at home improvement stores).
- Bags are for residents.
- It is easiest to fill the bags with two people — one to hold the bag and the other to shovel the sand.
For disposal of old Polypropylene sandbags:
- Residents may displace old sand in planters or on lawns and dispose of bags in their trash containers.
- Residents may also bring their old, filled bags to Public Works Corporate Yard located at 6735 Hollister Avenue (behind the Deckers building) for disposal.
