On-Call Bulky Item Pick-Up

The On-Call Bulky Item Pick-up Service is provided to recycle large items such as mattresses or appliances, excess plant materials and wood and to dispose of excess trash or bulky items.

Apartment/condo complex owners or managers should contact Recology at (650) 595-3900 to schedule a Bulky Item Pick-Up Service.

For acceptable items and restrictions, limits are:

  • 2 cubic yards per household (equal to twelve 32-gallon cans or bags).
  • 1 large item (such as a couch) or appliance (such as a dishwasher or refrigerator) that does not exceed 200 pounds.  Refrigerators (with doors removed) require special handling and must be requested at the same time that you schedule your clean-up date.
  • 1 Computer monitor, TV or personal computer.
  • No hazardous wastes (paints, thinners, or other chemicals) will be accepted for On-Call Bulky Item Pick-Up or through your regular garbage or recycling collection service.

Donating:
Please consider donating to any number of local non-profits and community groups. This can reduce the waste stream and provide a second life for the items you are discarding. Please visit Recology's Don't Toss It page for a list of organizations.

Residents must keep all recyclable material separate from trash. Please ensure that all plant materials/wood waste, scrap metal, appliances and E-scrap (computer monitors, TVs, personal computers) are kept separate from bagged or piled garbage.
