MARCH 2026 NEWSLETTER

IMPORTANT: Isleton Bulky Waste Collection Day

Isleton residents are invited to participate in this year’s Bulky Waste Collection on Saturday, June 13, 2026, from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Cal-Waste hosts this annual event to help residents properly dispose of large household items that cannot fit inside regular carts.


Residents must bring materials directly to the Isleton Corporation Yard, 100 6th Street, and proof of residency is required. Each household may deliver up to two cubic yards of bulky waste. Staff will be available on site to assist with unloading.


Accepted materials may include furniture, carpet, mattresses, appliances such as refrigerators and washers, lawn and garden equipment that has been drained of fluids, green waste, clothing, electronics, bicycles, and other similar large personal items. Items must be able to be lifted by two people and may not exceed 60 pounds. Branches and tree trunks must be under 2 inches in diameter, 5 feet in length, and no more than 50 pounds.

Please note that household hazardous waste and tires will not be accepted at this event.


We look forward to helping Isleton residents keep their community clean and clutter free.

A Special Rescue at Cal-Waste

A tiny kitten was recently discovered hiding underneath a recycling truck in our mechanics’ shop. Safely rescued by our team and now named Shelli, she is receiving care through Purrfectly Pawsible, a nonprofit dedicated to helping community cats.


Her story is also a reminder to check carts for animals before setting them out or bringing them back in, especially during cooler months when small animals may seek shelter.


If you would like to learn more about Shelli or give her a forever home, visit Purrfectly Pawsible on Facebook.

Glass Recycling Made Simple

Learn the Do's and Don'ts of recycling glass jars and bottles. Be sure to leave the lids on, and don’t worry if the glass is broken. During processing, materials are broken down and magnets separate the metal lids so they can be recycled properly.



Small steps at home make a big difference in keeping our recycling stream clean and effective. For more recycling tips and to learn what goes where, visit www.Cal-Waste.com.
