The Dump Day collection will be limited to tires and mattresses. No business waste will be accepted. There will be a limit of maximum 9 per load for passenger car and light truck tires. Also, only 6 mattresses per load will be permitted.

The event will support the Department’s efforts to keep California highways and waterways litter-free, by preventing trash from reaching its roads and waterways.

The new initiative will not only remove litter, but will also beautify California and create hundreds of new jobs.
