Fremont single-family residents receive two free on-call bulky item pickups per year through Republic Services for items such as furniture, mattresses, and appliances that do not fit in carts.
Republic Services provides on-call bulky item pickup for Fremont single-family residential customers as part of the franchise service. Each household is allowed two free bulky pickups per calendar year, typically with up to four items or a set volume limit per appointment. Eligible items include furniture, mattresses, box springs, carpet (cut and bundled), large appliances, and e-waste.

Items not accepted in curbside bulky pickup include household hazardous waste, tires, large construction debris, and commercial volumes, which must go to the Alameda County Household Hazardous Waste facility or Fremont Recycling and Transfer Station.
