Help combat illegal dumping in Menlo Park

Published on August 19, 2024

Dumping garbage and unwanted items on the streets is illegal. You can face up to $500 in fines and a misdemeanor. Recology offers two free collection services of large and bulky items a year for residents in Menlo Park. You must schedule collections ahead of time with Recology. Multifamily properties must contact their property owners to have these collections coordinated for their entire complex.

Collections include:

• Two cubic yards of bagged or boxed solid waste (aprox. 12 garbage bags)
• One large appliance (washer, dryer, refrigerator)
• One bulky item (mattress, furniture, 4 tires)
• One e-waste item (computer monitor, microwave, TV)

Recology will not pick up: liquids, dirt, rocks, ashes, concrete or hazardous waste.

For more information, visit the Recology website. You can schedule a bulky item collection online or call 650-595-3900.

Please report illegal dumping on ACT Menlo Park, the City’s online reporting tool.
