Pile Pick Up Program
The City of Sonora is happy to provide its Pile Pick-Up
Program to its residents and property owners. The
Public Works Department hauls most of the green waste
collected through the program to the Cal Sierra Earth
Resource Facility, located off of Tuolumne Road. You
can assist the Public Works Department in making
deliveries to the resource facility by observing the
following simple guidelines:
1.
Materials must be source separated –
brush, prunings,
leaves or
grass must be left for us in separate piles so that we
can unload into separate locations at the resource
facility. If your pile has not been source
separated, we will leave a hang-tag advising that it
must be separated before we will pick the pile up.
2.
Do not place/hide garbage
waste materials in your piles –
no paper, plastic bags, pipe, metal objects, etc.
We will not haul rock, concrete, pavement, brick,
stumps, or dirt to the resource facility. If your
pile contains any of the above, we will leave a hang-tag
advising that it must be removed before we will pick up
the pile. Our program is only for green waste.
3. The length of brush, limbs and prunings should
not exceed 4 feet.
4. Piles need to be accessible to the City’s
equipment, which includes a
dump truck and backhoe. Do not place piles against
fences, walls, rocks, etc.
5. The cost is $40.00 for each dump truck
load, roughly 3 yards.
Generally, the Public Works Department offers pile pick
up for its residents for lawn & leaf debris only, twice
per year at no charge. Anything other than lawn & leaf
debris will have to be pre-paid, with the above rules
followed. Any questions may be directed to City Public
Works at (209) 532-2922.
