$79 Flat Rate for Single Items
Old grills, patio furniture, trampolines, and play equipment are awkward to dispose of because they're bulky but often too light for scrap value.

Does Fresno pick up outdoor items?
Operation Clean Up serves Fresno's 550,105 residents with just one pickup per year, scheduled by the city's predetermined dates. One annual pickup for over half a million people creates obvious capacity issues.
City program details: Operation Clean Up. Frequency: once per year. Wait: varies by scheduled date. Fees: free (included in utility service)
Without regular city service, residents self-haul to Cedar Avenue Recycling and Transfer Station (CARTS) at $30-60 per load, or call 1-800-GOT-JUNK starting at $150+. Most Tower District and Fig Garden Village residents accumulate bulk items all year for Operation Clean Up.
Dropcurb picks up outdoor items same-day in Fresno for $79 flat — no wait, no annual limits, no restrictions.
Operation Clean Up happens once per year. That's it.
One annual pickup means everything else is your problem for the other 364 days. When your couch breaks in February but city pickup isn't until October, that's eight months of storage.

What happens to your outdoor item after pickup
Outdoor items with metal frames (grills, patio furniture, trampolines) are recycled for scrap steel and aluminum. Plastic outdoor furniture and resin items are processed at plastics recycling facilities when accepted locally. Wood items like deck furniture and fencing may be recycled or repurposed. Grills must have propane tanks removed before pickup — propane tanks are classified as hazardous material and cannot be transported. Items in good condition (clean patio sets, functional grills) may be donated to local organizations or resold.
Why Fresno residents choose Dropcurb for outdoor item removal
$79 for same-day pickup vs waiting until next year's Operation Clean Up. CARTS costs about the same but requires truck rental and your day at the transfer station.
