Calaveras County, CA Trash & Recycling: Bulk Item Disposal (2026)

There is no county code section requiring a special bulky-item curbside program; instead, the Calaveras County Integrated Waste Management department provides facility-based disposal for large and bulky items, with published fees. At the Rock Creek Solid Waste Facility (the county landfill, open daily 8:00 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. with closed-toe footwear and ID required), large items are accepted at posted rates. Appliances and coolers (washers, dryers, refrigerators, freezers, stoves, water heaters, A/C units) are $25.00 each, though dishwashers are free. Mattresses are accepted free. Construction and demolition debris and manure are classified as mixed loads at $8.00 per cubic yard (accepted only at Rock Creek). Yard waste is $4.00 per cubic yard at Rock Creek, Red Hill, and Wilseyville (logs over 3 feet in diameter or 4 feet long are not accepted). Tires have their own schedule: two passenger/light-truck tires are free at certain sites, additional tires are $2.50 each, and tires on rims are $5.00 each. Campers, trailers, and boats are accepted at $8.00 per cubic yard with motors and hazardous materials removed and a DMV Junk Certificate. Disposing of bulky items anywhere other than an authorized facility is unlawful illegal dumping under County Code 8.12.170.
