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.

San Rafael's bulk pickup has limits — we don't

San Rafael's city guidance routes single-family bulky cleanup through Marin Sanitary Service and limits cleanup sets to 14 bags or cans up to 32 gallons each on designated dates, which leaves a gap for couches, appliances, and mixed cleanout piles that do not fit the allowance. The city also runs special support for multi-family bulky disposal through property managers, which helps apartment residents but is not a same-day solution. In a high-cost Marin housing market where tenants and owners frequently turn units between Downtown, Gerstle Park, and Terra Linda, residents often need immediate curbside removal when city timing does not match real deadlines.
