MARCH 2026 NEWSLETTER

IMPORTANT: Woodbridge Community Clean Up Day!

Woodbridge residents are invited to participate in this year’s Community Cleanup on Monday, April 13th, 2026. This special collection event provides an opportunity to dispose of bulky household items that do not fit inside your regular carts.


Residents may place up to four cubic yards of material at the curb. Accepted items include furniture, carpet, mattresses, clothing beyond reuse, and electronics. Please ensure all materials are neatly stacked and placed at the curb by 6:00 a.m. on collection day.


To help ensure a smooth and safe pickup, vegetation must be bagged or placed in containers, bundles must not exceed 50 pounds, and loose items should be placed in boxes or bins within size limits. Appliances containing Freon, such as refrigerators and freezers, must be scheduled in advance by April 9th, and are subject to a removal fee of $56.72.


Please note that household hazardous waste, paints, oils, tires, and pesticides will not be accepted during this event.


We appreciate your cooperation in helping keep Woodbridge clean, organized, and safe for the entire community.

Need More Space for Your Cleanup Project?

If you have more material than the Woodbridge Community Cleanup can take, Cal-Waste Handy Haulers are a convenient option. Available in 3.5 or 5 cubic yard sizes, Handy Haulers are perfect for larger home cleanups, yard projects, or small renovation jobs.


One simple price includes delivery, removal, and disposal of almost anything you can fit inside (pricing varies by size), making it an easy solution when your cleanup grows beyond the curbside limit.

Woodbridge Elementary Truck Visit

Cal-Waste recently had the opportunity to participate in Career Day at Woodbridge Elementary School, where students learned about the many careers that help keep our communities clean and running smoothly.


Our team shared what a typical day looks like in the waste and recycling industry and gave students an up close look at one of our trucks.


We always enjoy connecting with local students and appreciate the opportunity to support educational events that inspire the next generation.


At Cal-Waste, we believe education and community partnerships help build a cleaner future for everyone!

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.
