City program details: Recology Sonoma Marin allows two free bulky pickups per year for Petaluma residents. Each pickup allows one major appliance or bulky item plus seven bags/boxes/cans. Additional pickups are paid, including $65.39 for two items under 100 pounds and a $65.39 Freon charge where applicable.
Petaluma residents can schedule two free bulky pickups per year through Recology Sonoma Marin, but those pickups are limited to one bulky item or major appliance plus seven bagged containers, and additional pickups become paid. In a market with frequent move-outs, remodel turnover, and estate transitions, that cap is often the bottleneck. Sonoma County also relies on designated disposal sites and regulated waste channels, so fast legal removal matters when curbside clutter risks complaints.
Dropcurb picks up electronics same-day in Petaluma for $99 flat — no wait, no annual limits, no restrictions.
Two free bulky pickups per year works for routine cleanup, not urgent cleanouts.
Top Petaluma SERP pages are mostly local haulers and national brands that emphasize estimates or phone-first booking, while municipal service limits timing and item volume. Few pages provide clear side-by-side pricing logic. Dropcurb closes that gap with instant checkout pricing and same-day curbside fulfillment built for deadline-driven cleanup.

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.
