Caltrans and Lake County host Clean California dump day event
Caltrans District 1 and the County of Lake announced a Clean California (Clean CA) Dump Day event in partnership with Lake County Waste Solutions (LCWS) for Saturday, Oct. 14, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., or until capacity is reached, at transfer stations in Lakeport and Clearlake. Lakeport Transfer Station is located at 230 Soda Bay Road, Lakeport. LCWS Recycling Center is located at 16015 Davis St., Clearlake and Eastlake Landfill at 16015 Davis Ave., Clearlake.
This Dump Day allows residents to drop accepted large items for free. Dump Day events were made possible through Governor Gavin Newsom’s Clean California initiative. A sweeping $1.2 billion, multiyear cleanup 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.
Free Dump Day collection is limited to household items including furniture, appliances, mattresses, and other large, bulky items. No construction materials, business waste, hazardous waste, tires, 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.
For questions about this Dump Day event, please contact Brenda.Rose@dot.ca.gov or call (707) 572-7266.
