Your old couch

Sofas, sectionals, recliners — the big stuff that's been in the way since the new one arrived. Wheel it to the curb. A hauler picks it up, same day.

Your old mattress

Mattress, box spring, or both — we take them all. No awkward hallway maneuvering required. Just curb it and it's gone.

Your old appliances

Fridge, washer, dryer, stove — too heavy to move, too big to trash. Curb it and a hauler makes it disappear.

Your old furniture

Desks, dressers, bookshelves, nightstands. Clearing a whole room or just swapping one piece — curb it and it's handled.

Your junk pile

Boxes, bags, the random stuff you've been meaning to deal with. If you can drag it to the curb, we'll make it disappear.

Alameda's bulk pickup has limits — we don't

Alameda County Industries gives eligible residential customers one free on-call bulky pickup day per year, but each setout is capped at 3 cubic yards and 3 bulky items, with a 150-pound limit per single item and strict exclusions for construction debris and hazardous waste. In practice, that leaves a gap for households handling larger cleanouts, estate turnover, or same-week deadlines. Alameda County also routes restricted materials through HHW pathways, so residents often need a faster paid option when municipal limits do not fit the job.
