City collection Furniture and other oversized items are collected by the hauler. Each residential customer also gets one free clean-up day every twelve months that takes up to seven items. Bulky item pickups are quoted when the office is called, while the annual clean-up day is free for a residential customer within its published terms. Confirm which route applies and the amount before booking, because the two carry different costs.
The highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

Will the city take it?
Paso Robles collects through an exclusive city franchise with Paso Robles Waste & Recycle, which runs a weekly automated service covering garbage, organics and commingle recycling. Large items are not part of the cart route: the operator quotes bulky pickups by estimate, and each residential customer gets one free clean-up day every twelve months that takes up to seven items within the published weight and handling limits. Yard trimmings and food scraps go in the green organics cart, small metal pieces go in the recycle cart, and everything hazardous, including batteries, paint, televisions and electronics, goes to the county drop-off at the Paso Robles Landfill on Saturdays.
Furniture and other oversized items are collected by the hauler. Each residential customer also gets one free clean-up day every twelve months that takes up to seven items.
City cost & eligibility
Bulky item pickups are quoted when the office is called, while the annual clean-up day is free for a residential customer within its published terms. Confirm which route applies and the amount before booking, because the two carry different costs.
When & how
Call the office on (805) 238-2381 to book either a quoted bulky pickup or the free annual clean-up day, and put the items at the curb by 6 a.m. on the reserved day without blocking the normal containers.
Get it ready
Keep each individual item under 120 pounds and each bag or bundle under 60 pounds, because items have to be safely moved by two workers by hand and heavier pieces are left uncollected. Keep liquids and hazardous material out of the pile, and drain oil and gasoline from yard equipment.
Appliances are named as bulky items, so a washer or dryer goes out through the free annual clean-up day or a quoted bulky pickup.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Appliances are named on the bulky item list, and each residential customer receives one free clean-up day every twelve months taking up to seven items. Individual items must not exceed 120 pounds and must be safely moved by two workers by hand, so a heavier appliance needs prior arrangements or a quoted pickup.
When & how
Call the office on (805) 238-2381 to reserve the clean-up day or book a quoted pickup, then set the appliance at the curb by 6 a.m. on the scheduled day.
Get it ready
Empty the appliance and secure the doors, and weigh or estimate it before booking, because an item over 120 pounds or one that needs more than two workers is left uncollected unless the office has agreed otherwise.
Yard trimmings and food scraps go in the green organics cart, which is collected every week as part of the residential service.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The organics cart is included in the residential service, which covers waste, organics and commingle recycling on a weekly automated collection. There is no separate organics charge on the residential rate.
When & how
Put the green cart out on the weekly collection day, and place a Christmas tree at the curb on the regular day between December 28, 2026 and January 8, 2027 for the free tree pickup.
Get it ready
Keep the green cart compostable only: yard trimmings, food scraps, grass, leaves, weeds, flowers, brush, small branches under four feet and six inches in diameter, unpainted scrap lumber and tree droppings. Keep out hazardous waste, recyclables, dirt and rocks, poison oak, bamboo, palm fronds, cypress, ice plant, animal waste, diapers, landfill waste and treated wood, because contamination draws a service charge.
Small metal pieces can go in the recycle cart, and larger metal items travel on the bulky route. The operator publishes no separate metal price, so the route is confirmed by phone.
City cost & eligibility
No separate scrap metal price is published. Small uncontaminated pieces can go in the recycle cart, larger metal items such as appliances travel on the bulky item list, and anything else needs a quote, so confirm the item and the amount with the operator on (805) 238-2381.
When & how
Put small pieces in the recycle cart on the collection day, or call the office to add a large metal item to the free annual clean-up day or a quoted pickup.
Get it ready
Keep fluids, fuel and hazardous material out of the metal, and keep the piece within the hauling limits of the route it is booked on.
Call the office first and put the items at the curb by 6 a.m. on the reserved day without blocking the normal containers. Individual items must be under 120 pounds and each bag, box or bundle under 60 pounds, and every item has to be safely moved by two workers by hand or it is left behind. No liquids, paint, chemicals, medical waste, oil or gasoline, and yard equipment must be drained of oil and gasoline before it goes out.
The green cart takes compostable material only. Recyclables, garbage, hazardous waste, animal waste, dirt and rocks, and treated wood are refused, and the organics truck carries a camera, so a cart contaminated with trash draws a service charge and repeat offenders lose the cart.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
