Bulky item pickup dimensions

Did you know that Recology offers two free scheduled pickups of large and bulky items from Feb. 1–Dec. 31?

Residents may set out:

  • Two cubic yards of bagged/boxed solid waste (6x3x3ft)
  • One large appliance (such as a washing machine, dryer, refrigerator or freezer)
  • One bulky item (such as a mattress, couch or tires)
  • Electronic waste (such as a TV, computer or computer monitor)

No liquids, dirt, rock, concrete, asphalt, hazardous waste or items that exceed 5 feet in length will be accepted. Contact 650-595-3900 or visit Recology's website to schedule an appointment.

For residents in multi-family dwellings, please contact your property manager to schedule a bulky item pickup.

Also consider donating usable items to a local charity or non-profit organization in San Mateo County. Visit Recology's website for a list of organizations.
