Rocklin does not run a routine curbside bulky-item pickup; instead, residents rent temporary dumpsters from Recology Auburn Placer (530-885-3735) or use the City's annual Clean Up Day drop-off events for furniture, mattresses, e-waste and household junk. Hazardous waste, appliances, car batteries and used motor oil go to the Western Placer Waste Management Authority (WPWMA) facility at 3195 Athens Avenue, Lincoln — contact (916) 645-5230 ext. 4.
Per the City of Rocklin Public Works FAQs, 'Dumpsters can be obtained from Auburn Placer Disposal Service at 530.885.3735' and an encroachment permit is required from Public Works if the dumpster occupies the street. Construction and demolition refuse is governed by RMC §13.08.55, which requires the property owner/contractor to either subscribe to franchised collection or self-haul, and to comply with CALGreen §4.408.1 (residential) / §5.408.1 (non-residential) — a minimum 65% diversion of non-hazardous C&D waste. Rocklin's annual Clean Up Day uses three drop-off locations published at rocklin.ca.us/CleanUpDay.
Placing bulky items at the curb outside of an authorized pickup or event creates a §8.04.020 nuisance. C&D projects without proper containerization/diversion violate RMC §13.08.55 and may also fail final building inspection under CALGreen.
