Oh No!

Whether your soil is alkaline or not, surely you have a space out back behind the garage (or something) that you could dump the ash...

No need to add to the waste stream unnecessarily...

I just googled whether lime is needed in Sacramental area...
Seems that soil testing labs are noticing increasingly acidic soils in your area...

You maybe should be adding those wood ashes to the vegetable patch rather than the trash.

Found a pdf:

Project Title: Development of Lime Recommendations for California Soils

Executive Summary
Increasingly acid soils have been noted by agronomists and soil testing laboratories on soils of northern and central California. These soils tend to be moderately to highly weathered or poorly buffered and acidified through nitrogen fertilization. Water pH levels below 5.60 are sufficient to impact crop growth and quality, dependent on the crop.
