All Customers Must Present ID to Verify Residency

  • Because there is no charge for disposal of normal household trash and recyclables, residents of neighboring counties frequently try to dispose of trash at Calaveras County Transfer Stations. Checking IDs is the most effective way to prevent this illegal disposal and to preserve your tax dollars.
  • Part time Calaveras County residents - Present a copy of your tax bill, showing the Solid Waste fee to the attendant.

Open Fridays through Mondays from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm

Closed Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, New Year's Day and Easter Sunday
