Tuolumne County's trash collection varies by location. Cal-Waste provides curbside service in some communities. Remote rural areas rely on self-haul to transfer stations. The county enforces illegal dumping and solid waste accumulation through Code Compliance.
Trash collection in unincorporated Tuolumne County is not uniformly provided. Cal-Waste Recovery Systems is the primary hauler offering curbside service in populated communities including the Sonora, Twain Harte, and Columbia areas. More remote rural properties may need to self-haul waste to the county's transfer stations. Tuolumne County operates transfer stations for residential and commercial waste. California's SB 1383 requires organic waste diversion statewide, and the county is implementing compliance measures. Code Compliance handles complaints about illegal dumping and accumulation of garbage on properties. Bear-proof containers are recommended in most areas.
Illegal dumping: criminal penalty under CA Penal Code §374.3, up to $10,000 fine. Solid waste accumulation on property: Code Compliance enforcement.
