Solid waste company changes ownership
Calaveras County waste collection has changed hands from S.E.I. Solid Waste to Cal-Waste Recovery Systems, owned by Dave Vaccarezza, president, and the largest area-owned waste collection company in the region.
“Scheduled waste collection days will remain the same, although they may change in the months ahead as we look to create new efficiencies and improve your service,” Vaccarezza said. “You will receive notification prior to any change in your collection schedule.”
Contact phone numbers remain the same and customers will continue to use the same curbside carts.
“We look forward to working with county staff to develop a plan to improve the look and quality of waste collection service in Calaveras County,” Vaccarezza added. “There is a lot of work to be done and it will take some time, but we are committed to the results.”
Founded by the Vaccarezza family in 1927, Cal-Waste continues its commitment to protecting the environmental and economic health of communities.

Rescheduled event embraces fall
Gold Country Day, hosted by the Angels Camp Business Association, City of Angels and the Angels Camp Commemorative Committee, was rescheduled to Saturday, Oct. 19, due to smoke from the Rim Fire.
“We are still taking applications for vendors of all types,” reported Anne Forest of the Angels Camp Business Association. “We lost six vendors because of the postponement but gained five new ones because they can be here on the 19th. But we have lots of room and can always take more. We’re also looking for vendors with pumpkins, costumes and masks, as the event will run two weeks from Halloween.”
Volunteers are also still being sought.
The event will be held from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Angels Camp, and Main Street will be closed at Sam’s Way to the Highway 49 and Vallecito Road intersection from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The celebration includes a commemoration of the 165 years since the founding of Angels Camp, street fair, activities and entertainment including Western gun fights, a frog jump at the Visitors Center, miners’ encampment, vendors of all descriptions, street performers, food and drink concessions and a variety of music including Big Earl and the Cryin’ Shame, as well as area bands.
