Tuolumne County Public Works Green Waste Dollar Dump Days flyer

East Sonora, CA — This weekend, Tuolumne County residents can dump some of their yard waste for just a buck.

Cal Sierra Disposal will be hosting a “Green Waste Dollar Dump Day” event for Tuolumne County residents. The event takes place on Saturday, October 11, 2025, between 8 A.M. and 11:45 A.M. and 12:30 P.M. and 3:30 P.M. at the Cal Sierra Earth Resource Facility located at 14909 Camage Avenue in East Sonora.

The event allows county residents the opportunity to clear their property of hazardous vegetation, up to one (1) cubic yard, and dispose of it at the low disposal rate of $1.00 a cubic yard (3x3x3). Public works officials added that any waste over one (1) cubic yard will be charged the regular disposal rate. They also noted, “This program is for Tuolumne County residents ONLY; sorry, no contractors or commercial businesses are permitted.”

Residents will be required to show identification verifying they reside in Tuolumne County by providing a utility bill with their address or a driver’s license.
