Bulky/large-item disposal in the City of Turlock is handled through the City's franchised hauler, Turlock Scavenger, not by setting items at the curb on a normal trash day. City residential customers receive two free bulky-item pickups per year, arranged by appointment. Accepted items include large appliances (with doors removed from refrigerators and freezers), water heaters, water softeners, toilets, sinks, tubs, mattresses, box springs, couches, chairs, and similar large household goods. To arrange a pickup, residents contact Turlock Scavenger at 209-668-7274. The City also runs seasonal programs through the hauler: a free curbside leaf-collection program in fall/winter (excess leaves placed 18 inches from the curb in loose piles, no limbs) and free live Christmas-tree collection between December 26 and January 31 (trees set at the gutter near your carts the night before your pickup day, stripped of all ornaments and decorations; artificial trees excluded). Residents may also self-haul larger loads to the Turlock Transfer Station operated under Stanislaus County. These bulky-pickup terms are City/franchise service rules; report illegal dumping of bulky items to Code Enforcement at 209-664-7348.
Setting bulky items at the curb outside a scheduled pickup, or illegal dumping, can draw a Code Enforcement nuisance notice (TMC Ch. 5-5) and citation. Schedule pickups instead via Turlock Scavenger 209-668-7274.
