Welcome to Yuba County, the future home of San Francisco garbage. Come see our mound of waste. Visit our envied mountain of mess.

You may gag at the concept. But do not worry; the waste company will supply barf bags. San Francisco's tourist attraction is Alcatraz.

Yuba County's tourist attraction is our own landfill supplied out of the goodness of San Francisco. San Francisco's newest historical monument will be right here in Yuba County.

Get a toxic piece of San Francisco at our gift shop. Proceeds go to the City By The Bay. Profits will be retained by the company. Residue will be absorbed by the community. Donations are being accepted from outsiders. We will pay the price of admission.

Bottom line: We will pay.
