Walnut Creek residential Republic Services customers receive two free on-call bulky item pickups per year for furniture, mattresses, appliances, and large items. Schedule 48 hours in advance. E-waste, tires, and hazardous materials excluded and must go to drop-off facilities.
Republic Services offers Walnut Creek single-family residents two complimentary bulky item collections annually as part of the franchise agreement, with up to four items per pickup. Accepted items include: furniture (couches, chairs, tables, dressers), mattresses and box springs, carpet (rolled, under 4 feet), and major appliances (refrigerators — CFCs removed by hauler at no charge, washers, dryers, water heaters). Schedule at least 48 hours ahead via 925-685-4711 or online. Items must be placed curbside by 6 AM on the scheduled day, not blocking sidewalks or fire hydrants. Excluded from bulky pickup: electronic waste (TVs, computers, monitors), tires, motor oil, paint, batteries, construction debris, and hazardous materials — these must be taken to the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District Household Hazardous Waste Facility in Martinez (free for residents) or to certified e-waste recyclers. Additional pickups beyond the two free annually cost approximately $40-75 depending on item type and quantity. Illegal dumping of bulky items constitutes a misdemeanor under WCMC §5-8.310.
