| Proud to Support The Litter & Tobacco Clean Up! | |
Cal-Waste was proud to support the Tobacco and Litter Volunteer Clean Up held in Downtown Sonora on February 1st. This community driven effort brought volunteers together to help remove litter and tobacco waste from our local streets and public spaces.
Events like this play an important role in protecting local wildlife, preventing stormwater pollution, and keeping the City of Sonora clean and welcoming for residents and visitors alike. By reducing litter before it enters our waterways, we help preserve the natural beauty that makes our community so special.
We appreciate the partnership with Tuolumne County Public Health Tobacco Prevention Program and thank all the volunteers who dedicated their time to making a difference.
At Cal-Waste, we remain committed to supporting community initiatives that promote environmental responsibility, sustainability, and civic pride. Together, we can continue working toward a cleaner, healthier Sonora.

Supporting organizations that bring families together and encourage healthy, active lifestyles aligns with our commitment to serving the Sonora area beyond waste and recycling services. We are honored to stand behind the MTN Outlaws and cheer them on throughout the season.

Attention Sonora Residents!
LEARN ALL ABOUT GREEN WASTE!
| |
Green waste carts are for organic yard materials such as grass clippings, leaves, pine needles, and branches from pruning.
Paper yard waste bags are allowed and can be placed directly into the green waste cart bag and all. Please remember that plastic bags are never allowed.
When pruning branches, be sure to cut them down so the cart lid can fully close. A good rule of thumb is to keep branches no thicker than the width of your upper arm.
Items that do not belong in the green waste cart include plastic bags, rocks, cement, sod, and large amounts of dirt or soil. Small amounts of dirt are acceptable if attached to plants, but loose soil cannot be collected.
For more information, visit www.Cal-Waste.com. If you have questions, please contact our customer service team at (209) 795-1532 or email customerservicesonora@cal-waste.com.
| 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.
