Lodi FAQ
Can I get a free couch or mattress pickup in Lodi any time of year?
Free bulky pickup is generally limited to the annual April Curbside Cleanup event. Outside that window, contact WM at 209-369-8274 to schedule a paid bulky item pickup, or take items to the WM Central Valley Recycling transfer station at 1333 E Turner Rd.
What do I do with an old TV or fridge?
CRT televisions and CFC-containing refrigerators are excluded from both Curbside Cleanup and Dollar Dump Days. Take e-waste and refrigerants to the WM transfer station as paid drops, or use San Joaquin County's Household Hazardous Waste program — appointments via 209-468-3066.
Stockton FAQ
How do I schedule my free Clean Sweep pickup?
Call your franchised hauler (Waste Management or Republic Services) at least two weeks before your desired appointment. Clean Sweep runs February through October only.
Can I get rid of my refrigerator through Clean Sweep?
Yes, but Freon/refrigerant must be removed and certified by a licensed technician before the appointment. The hauler will not take appliances with refrigerant still in them.
What if I have construction debris?
Use a City-permitted C&D hauler under Stockton's Construction, Demolition & Industrial Waste Hauling program. C&D debris is not eligible for residential Clean Sweep.
