CHULA VISTA, Calif. — Another “Dump Day” event will be taking place this week in San Diego County.

On Saturday, Nov. 18, from 8 a.m. to noon, San Diegans can bring non-hazardous, unwanted items to the free “Caltrans District 11 Dump Day” event. It will be held in the Chula Vista Maintenance Yard at 570 C Street in Chula Vista.

Multiple dumpsters will be on site for household waste and approved debris. Four mattresses and four tires separated from the rims will be accepted per household.

Items that will not be accepted include hazardous waste (batteries, paint, oils, flammables, etc.), construction debris (concrete, dirt, asphalt, asbestos), compressed gas, aerosols, treated wood waste, refrigerators and freezers.
