City program details: Recology South Bay provides Cupertino residents two on-call curbside bulky collections per year at no extra charge. Each pickup must be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance, items must be on private property by 7 AM, and limits include up to 3 bulky items, 8x4x4 bagged waste footprint, 50-pound item caps, and 250-pound construction debris total.
Cupertino uses Recology South Bay on-call bulky collection, but residents only get two no-charge pickups per year and each job has strict limits, including three bulky items per collection and private-property placement by 7 AM. Items cannot sit on sidewalks or streets, and hazardous materials are excluded. In HOA-managed communities like Northpoint and Roundtree, those timing rules can collide with violation deadlines when bulky items must disappear quickly.
Dropcurb picks up electronics same-day in Cupertino for $99 flat — no wait, no annual limits, no restrictions.
Two free municipal pickups per year is not built for high-urgency cleanouts.
Top Cupertino SERP pages focus on generic junk hauling and rarely explain municipal constraints like the two-pickup annual cap, three-item bulky limit, and private-property set-out rules. When residents hit those limits or face HOA deadlines, they need same-day legal removal with transparent pricing, not another quote request form.

What happens to your electronics after pickup
Electronics are recycled at R2- or e-Stewards-certified e-waste facilities. Devices are disassembled and sorted: circuit boards are processed for gold, silver, copper, and palladium recovery. Screens are separated for glass and lead processing. Plastics are shredded and recycled. Hard drives, SSDs, and other storage media are physically destroyed (shredded or degaussed) to ensure complete data destruction — no data leaves the facility intact. The $20 e-waste recycling fee covers the cost of certified handling and hazardous material processing.
