City collection Furniture rides both Brentwood routes: it is named in the household load the free cleanup events accept, and it is the first example the extra pickup page gives for items that will not fit a cart. A cleanup event is free for a household with an active garbage account, and the extra pickup carries a fee the city does not publish, so the division confirms the amount at (925) 516-6090 when the pickup is booked.
City collection A mattress is named in both of Brentwood's routes: the free Neighborhood Cleanup Events take mattresses in the household load of up to two cubic yards, with a dedicated drop-off at the back of the site, and the Solid Waste Division books a fee-based extra pickup for a mattress that will not fit a cart. The cleanup events are published as free for households with an active garbage account, while the extra pickup page says only that a fee will apply and publishes no amount, so the division confirms the charge when the pickup is booked at (925) 516-6090.

The cleanup events are free with an active garbage account and the extra pickup is fee-based but unpriced, so the division confirms the charge at (925) 516-6090 when the pickup is scheduled.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Brentwood runs its own Solid Waste Division rather than contracting the work out, so the city itself answers the phone about carts and large items. Households with an active garbage account get two free Neighborhood Cleanup Events a year, one in spring and one in fall, and each registration covers up to two cubic yards of household material at the Brentwood Transfer Station: yard waste, appliances, furniture, mattresses, metal, computers, televisions and other electronic waste. Anything that turns up between events is an extra pickup booked with the division, and the city says plainly that a fee applies without publishing the figure. Electronics and other household chemicals go through the Delta Household Hazardous Waste program, which is free for east Contra Costa County residents and runs both a year-round facility in Pittsburg and three Saturday events a year, one of them at the Brentwood Transfer Station.
A mattress is named in both of Brentwood's routes: the free Neighborhood Cleanup Events take mattresses in the household load of up to two cubic yards, with a dedicated drop-off at the back of the site, and the Solid Waste Division books a fee-based extra pickup for a mattress that will not fit a cart.
City cost & eligibility
The cleanup events are published as free for households with an active garbage account, while the extra pickup page says only that a fee will apply and publishes no amount, so the division confirms the charge when the pickup is booked at (925) 516-6090.
When & how
Register online for a cleanup event with the utility billing account number, choosing a date and time before registration closes at capacity or two days ahead, or call the division at (925) 516-6090 to book an extra pickup on the normal collection week.
Get it ready
Keep the unit dry and, at a cleanup event, follow the published loading order by putting mattresses in after the e-waste and before the yard waste, because the mattress drop-off sits at the back of the site. Do not overload a cart with it, since an open lid means the cart is not serviced.

Get it ready
Load furniture after the wood, tires and e-waste at a cleanup event, keep the whole load inside the two cubic yard limit, and keep it clear of the carts so the automated arm has room. Never force a piece into a cart, because an open lid stops the cart being serviced.
Appliances are accepted on both of Brentwood's large item routes: the free cleanup events list appliances in the household load, and the extra pickup page names water heaters and appliances among the items it collects for a fee.

When & how
Choose an event slot online before registration closes, or call the division to book the extra pickup for a collection week that suits the household.
Get it ready
Empty the appliance, secure the doors, and load it into a cleanup event load with the batteries removed from anything battery powered, because the city asks residents to strip batteries before e-waste and household goods go in. Keep hazardous items such as motor oil and paint out of the load and route them to the hazardous waste program.
Electronics have two Brentwood routes: the free cleanup events take computers, televisions and other electronic waste in the household load as long as batteries come out first, and the city treats electronic waste as part of the hazardous waste stream that goes to Delta Diablo for free.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free at a Neighborhood Cleanup Event for a household with an active garbage account, and free to East Contra Costa County residents through the Delta Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility and its annual Saturday events, with a valid driver's licence at the events.
When & how
Register for a cleanup event before registration closes, or take the devices to the Delta Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility at 2550 Pittsburg-Antioch Hwy in Pittsburg, and note the annual east county events: the second Saturday of May in Oakley, the third Saturday of June in Discovery Bay and the second Saturday of October at the Brentwood Transfer Station, 2301 Elkins Way, all from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Get it ready
Remove batteries from computers, televisions, appliances and battery-powered toys before the load goes in, because the city asks for that on both the cleanup page and the extra pickup page, and wipe personal data from a computer before handover. Never put electronics in the garbage or organics carts, and keep them out of the recycling stream unless the item is on the city's mixed recycling list.
Brentwood regulates construction and demolition debris rather than collecting it. Projects over the city's size or cost thresholds must divert at least 50 percent of the material and file a Waste Management Plan through Green Halo, and no residential construction drop-off is published.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no construction collection fee because it does not collect the material: a project follows the diversion ordinance, and a self-hauled load or a private container is priced at the facility gate or by the hauler, so the rate is confirmed before the load moves.
When & how
Start with the Building Department before the work begins, because a project that crosses the threshold needs a Waste Management Plan through Green Halo that records disposal and diversion. A household load outside a permit goes to one of the two public disposal facilities the city lists.
Get it ready
Keep construction debris out of the garbage, recycling and organics carts, and keep it out of a cleanup event load, whose list covers household material rather than renovation material. Sort recyclable and reusable material out before a load leaves the site, because the ordinance expects at least half of the debris to be diverted.
Exercise equipment is not named on any Brentwood page. A machine does not fit a cart and the published lists name appliances, furniture and mattresses rather than gym equipment, so the route is confirmed with the Solid Waste Division before it goes out.
City cost & eligibility
No published rate covers an exercise machine, and the two routes differ: a cleanup event is free with an active garbage account while an extra pickup carries an unpublished fee, so the division confirms the route and the charge at (925) 516-6090.
When & how
Call the Solid Waste Division before the machine is moved, and if it is accepted book it into a cleanup event registration or an extra pickup for a collection week.
Get it ready
Fold or tie down the deck and handles, remove the console and any battery pack so the electronics can go to the hazardous waste route instead, and keep the machine out of the carts, where an open lid means no collection.
Brentwood takes bulky household junk on two routes: the free Neighborhood Cleanup Events, where an active garbage account gets one spring and one fall registration for up to two cubic yards, and a fee-based extra pickup booked with the Solid Waste Division.
City cost & eligibility
The cleanup events are published as free with an active garbage account, while the extra pickup page says only that a fee applies and publishes no figure, so the division confirms the charge at (925) 516-6090.
When & how
Register online for an event slot with the utility billing account number before registration closes at capacity or two days ahead, and collect the permit-backed arrival window. For anything between events, call the division to book the extra pickup.
Get it ready
Keep the load inside two cubic yards, roughly one pickup truck load or a small utility trailer load, and follow the published loading order so the wood, tires and e-waste stops work: unpainted and untreated wood and up to four tires go in first for the last stop, then e-waste with batteries removed, mattresses, yard waste, scrap metal and finally general household waste. Keep hazardous material out of the load entirely and keep carts closed, because an open lid means no collection and a return trip costs extra.
Carts out by 5 a.m., three feet apart, lids closed
Set carts at the curb the night before or by 5 a.m. on the collection day, with the lid opening facing the street and the wheels against the curb, three feet apart and at least six feet from vehicles, mailboxes, light posts and basketball hoops. Lids have to close, because an open lid means the cart is not serviced and a return trip carries an extra fee, and residents are asked to stay 15 feet back from a working truck.
A cleanup event needs an online registration with the utility account number
Register online with the City of Brentwood utility billing account number and pick one of the pre-scheduled dates and times, because registration closes when the event is full or two days before it, whichever comes first, and a permit caps the site at 700 vehicles a day. A household may register for one spring event and one fall event, and each registration covers up to two cubic yards of household material.
Wood and tires unload at the last stop, so load them first: wood must be unpainted and untreated and a household may bring up to four tires. Then load e-waste such as computers, televisions and appliances with the batteries removed, then mattresses, which unload at the back of the site, then yard waste such as branches, leaves and grass clippings, then scrap metal, and finally general household waste, with batteries taken out of battery-powered items first.
Only Christmas and New Year's Day move a Brentwood collection day
Christmas Day and New Year's Day are the only two holidays that affect garbage service, and when one of them falls on a weekday the collection runs one day later for that week only. A holiday that falls on a Saturday or Sunday changes nothing, and every other holiday keeps the regular schedule.
A larger project needs a waste management plan before demolition
Projects that cross the city's size or cost thresholds fall under the Construction and Demolition Debris Recycling Ordinance, which requires at least 50 percent diversion, and the records are filed as a Waste Management Plan through Green Halo. Contact the Building Department before the work starts so the plan is in place rather than reconstructed afterwards.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
A Brentwood household with an active garbage account that has up to two cubic yards of household material to clear, including furniture, appliances, mattresses, electronics, metal, wood and yard waste.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Free to Brentwood residents with an active garbage account, one spring event and one fall event per household, with each registration covering up to two cubic yards, and entry controlled by a permit that caps the site at 700 vehicles a day.
Arrange it
Register online with the utility billing account number, choose a date and time before registration closes at capacity or two days before the event, and drive the loaded vehicle to the Brentwood Transfer Station at 2301 Elkins Way during the booked window.
Two cubic yards per registration, one spring and one fall event, online registration required and closing two days ahead or when full, and the loading order matters because wood and tires unload at the last stop while mattresses unload at the back.
A household with furniture, a mattress, a water heater, an appliance or extra bags that cannot wait for a cleanup event or fit in a cart.
Cost & conditions
The city states that a fee applies to an extra pickup and to any return trip for an overfilled cart, and it publishes no amount, so the Solid Waste Division confirms the charge when the pickup is booked at (925) 516-6090.
Arrange it
Call the Solid Waste Division at (925) 516-6090 or submit a Service Request, describe the items and arrange the extra collection.
The cost is not published, carts must have closed lids or they are not serviced, overfilling that forces a return trip carries an extra fee, and the carts themselves belong to the City, so a household that moves has to file a Utility Service Closure Request.
Delta Household Hazardous Waste for electronics and chemicals
An east Contra Costa County household with paint, motor oil, pesticides, cleaners, batteries, fluorescent bulbs or electronics.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Free to residents of East Contra Costa County, including Brentwood, Antioch, Pittsburg and Oakley, through the Delta Diablo program; a valid driver's licence is required at the Saturday events.
Arrange it
Use the Delta Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility at 2550 Pittsburg-Antioch Hwy in Pittsburg, or one of the annual Saturday events: the second Saturday of May at Oakley City Hall, the third Saturday of June at Discovery Bay Elementary School and the second Saturday of October at the Brentwood Transfer Station, all from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
The programme is for east county residents rather than businesses, the city publishes the event dates and sites but not the facility's opening hours, and the acceptable item list lives with Delta Diablo at (925) 756-1990.

Public landfill in Livermore the city lists for household refuse
Vasco Road Landfill
4001 N. Vasco Road, Livermore, CA
Most types of household refuse, as the city's garbage page describes the two public disposal facilities it lists for residents.
The city publishes no item list and no rate for this site, and construction and demolition material is regulated separately by the city's diversion ordinance, so the accepted material and the charge are confirmed at the gate before a load is built.
Monday to Friday from 6:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Saturday from 6:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
The city lists the facility without publishing a rate, so the disposal charge for the load is confirmed directly with the site before arrival.
Transfer station in Pittsburg the city lists for household refuse, open every day
Pittsburg Transfer Station
1300 Loveridge Road, Pittsburg, CA
Most types of household refuse, as the city's garbage page describes the two public disposal facilities it lists for residents.
The city publishes no item list and no rate for this site, so the accepted material is confirmed before a load is built, and renovation material falls under the city's construction and demolition diversion ordinance rather than this facility's household refuse description.
Open seven days a week from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
The city lists the facility without publishing a rate, so the disposal charge for the load is confirmed directly with the site before arrival.

The programme is a publicly funded service for east county residents rather than businesses, the city publishes the address and phone but not the facility's opening hours, and the acceptable item list has to be checked with Delta Diablo before a trip.

No charge. Free to residents of East Contra Costa County, including Brentwood, as a publicly funded community service programme.
Prices, timing and the details that matter at your address.
How much does pickup cost?+
Choose your items to see the exact price. A standard sofa is $79 first and $29 additional. The highest first-item price applies once; every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Review any applicable sales tax and the final total before payment.
Can I book a pickup for today?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Choose from the dates shown at checkout. Your booking is for a pickup day, and we text you when your hauler is on the way.
Do my items need to be outside when I book?+
You can book while your items are still inside. Arrange any indoor carrying and have everything outside and accessible according to your confirmation. We load and haul it away from there. Contact us before booking if your property has restricted access.
How does a Brentwood household get rid of a mattress?+
Two ways. The free Neighborhood Cleanup Events accept a mattress inside the two cubic yard household load, with the mattress drop-off now at the back of the site, and residents register online for one spring and one fall event. Outside those dates the Solid Waste Division books an extra pickup for a mattress that will not fit a cart, and a fee applies.Official guidance
Will Brentwood take a couch at a cleanup event?+
Yes, furniture is named in the household items the free Neighborhood Cleanup Events accept, up to two cubic yards or roughly one pickup truck load, and registration is required with a utility billing account number. If the couch turns up outside an event, the Solid Waste Division books a fee-based extra pickup instead.Official guidance
Can Brentwood collect an appliance from the curb?+
Yes, by booking an extra pickup with the Solid Waste Division at (925) 516-6090; the city names appliances and water heaters among the large items that will not fit a cart and says a fee applies. Appliances are also accepted free inside the two cubic yard load at a Neighborhood Cleanup Event.Official guidance
Where do Brentwood televisions and computers go?+
To a Neighborhood Cleanup Event, where computers, televisions and other electronic waste are part of the free two cubic yard household load with the batteries removed, or to the Delta Household Hazardous Waste program, which is free to east county residents at its Pittsburg facility and at three Saturday events a year, including one at the Brentwood Transfer Station on the second Saturday of October.Official guidance
Who collects garbage in Brentwood?+
The City of Brentwood itself: the Solid Waste Division has run collection since 1994, so cart questions, extra pickups and service changes all go to (925) 516-6090 rather than a private hauler. City Hall is at 150 City Park Way and is open Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and the carts remain City property.Official guidance
How do the Brentwood cleanup events work?+
Register online with a City of Brentwood utility billing account number and choose a date and time, because registration closes when the event fills or two days ahead, whichever comes first, and a permit caps the site at 700 vehicles a day. A household gets one spring and one fall registration, each covering up to two cubic yards of household material, and everything is unloaded at the Brentwood Transfer Station on Elkins Way.Official guidance
What does Brentwood charge for an extra pickup?+
The city says a fee will apply and does not publish the amount, so the Solid Waste Division quotes it when the pickup is booked at (925) 516-6090. The same applies to a return trip forced by an overfilled cart, because carts with open lids are not serviced in the first place.Official guidance
Where do Brentwood households take paint, oil and batteries?+
To the Delta Household Hazardous Waste program, which is free for East Contra Costa County residents. The year-round facility is at 2550 Pittsburg-Antioch Hwy in Pittsburg, and there are three Saturday events each year, 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., in May at Oakley City Hall, in June at Discovery Bay Elementary School and in October at the Brentwood Transfer Station on Elkins Way. Bring a valid driver's licence to an event.Official guidance
What does Brentwood require for construction debris?+
Projects over the city's size or cost thresholds must divert at least 50 percent of their construction and demolition debris under Municipal Code Section 8.40, and the records go through Green Halo as a Waste Management Plan. Contact the Building Department before the work starts, and keep renovation material out of the residential carts and cleanup loads.Official guidance
