FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Caltrans Celebrates Earth Day with Statewide
Free Clean California Dump Days on April 23
Trinity County – Caltrans is celebrating Earth Day with free Dump Day events throughout
California on Saturday, April 23 – including two in Trinity County. Caltrans welcomes you
to bring approved non-hazardous, unwanted items to the nearest Dump Day event for free
disposal. See flyers for details about what type of waste is accepted at each event
location.
The statewide Dump Day events are made possible through Governor Gavin Newsom’s
Clean California initiative, a sweeping $1.1 billion, multiyear clean-up effort led by Caltrans
to keep roads and waterways free of litter, create thousands of jobs and transform state
and local public spaces through beautification efforts.
"The best way to keep California clean is not to trash it in the first place,” said Caltrans
Acting Director Steven Keck. “Clean California’s goal is to make sure trash never reaches
our roadsides or waterways. These Dump Day events discourage illegal dumping along
highways and roads by giving people throughout the state a convenient place to dispose
of bulky items safely, properly, and at no cost.”
Dump Day events will take place at the following locations in Trinity County:
Trinity County free appliance dump day – 372 Hayfork Dump Road, Hayfork – 9
a.m. to 2 p.m. or until capacity is reached at the site.
Trinity County household waste and bulky item dump day – 173 Tom Bell Rd,
Weaverville – 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. or until capacity is reached at the site.
Free Dump Day collection is limited to household items such as plastic, fiberglass, fabric,
glass, mattresses, and landscape trimmings. No construction materials, hazardous waste,
e-waste, treated wood waste, or asbestos of any type will be accepted.
Caltrans reminds motorists to properly secure and tarp all cargo loads prior to driving.
Transporting unsecured loads is unsafe, illegal, and pollutes California's roads and
waterways. Loads that are not tied down, enclosed, or secured by tarps or other means,
will not be accepted.
Tips for securing your load:
• Completely cover loads with tarps or cargo nets. Debris can escape from gaps.
• Remove loose material and trash before driving.
• Don't overload – keep materials level with your truck bed.
• Put light items lower, tie large items to the vehicle for traffic safety.
Caltrans has hosted 72 free Dump Day events since July and collected more than
18,000 cubic yards (more than 300 tons) of trash. Items collected include 7,719 tires,
1,973 mattresses, 804 appliances (including 295 refrigerators), and a hot tub. This
Caltrans News Flash video highlights recent Clean California Dump Day community
events in Kern, Inyo, and Mono counties.
Since launching Clean California in July, Caltrans has removed more than 536,000 cubic
yards of litter from state highways – the equivalent of 9,000 tons or enough to fill 164
Olympic-size swimming pools – and hired 678 new team members as part of Clean
California, including 526 maintenance workers who collect litter and remove graffiti. For
