Dolores sets fall clean-up days for October 19 and 20
The town yard takes dump and salvage loads from residents on both days, and crews will pick up green waste at the curb. Proof of residency is required.
The Town of Dolores will hold its 2026 fall clean-up on Monday, October 19 and Tuesday, October 20, the town said in a notice posted Tuesday afternoon. Both days run from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Residents bring their own loads to the town yard at 31 Central Ave. Proof of residency — a water bill will do — is required for access. Items that have to be paid for in advance, including mattresses, electronics and tires, are prepaid at town hall, 601 Central Ave.
Green waste is handled differently: town crews will pick it up at the curb, and there is no alley pickup. The notice asks residents to cut green waste to eight feet or less and set it on the curb side of the street, with leaves and grass in paper bags or cardboard boxes.
The town will not take asbestos, liquids, hazardous waste, paint, chemicals, oil, household trash, radioactive waste, construction debris or batteries. Salvage items it will take include stoves, water heaters, mowers, barbecue grills and metal scrap, as long as they hold no refrigerant.
