Bulk Item Disposal: Richmond vs San Ramon

Republic Services offers Richmond residents two free bulk item pickups per calendar year for large items like mattresses, furniture, and appliances. Additional pickups and items exceeding the limits are available for a fee. Scheduling is required at least one week in advance.

Single-family San Ramon households receive two free bulky-item pickups per year through Waste Management. Residents schedule in advance, place items curbside the morning of pickup, and limit each pickup to roughly three cubic yards. E-waste, mattresses, and appliances are accepted; hazardous waste is not.
