A clear count. An exact price.

Count the bags and boxes, not everything inside.

A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.

Filled bags and boxes

Count each trash bag or filled household box. Books and media go by the box. Clothes, bedding and shoes go by the filled bag. Toys packed together have a Box of toys choice. Ask us about unusually heavy or oversized bags and boxes first.

Empty cardboard and containers

Empty cardboard is a different choice: choose single empty boxes or tied bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Compacted bales have their own weight-based choices and require loading-dock access. A Storage bin choice covers the empty bin itself; ask us to confirm the contents if they are going too.

Furniture and other larger items

Add the actual larger item alongside your bags and boxes, such as a sofa, chair or mattress. It has its own price and preparation. Keep construction materials and items needing special handling out of ordinary household bags.

Couches and household furniture

Accepted with preparation

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.

City cost & eligibility
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.
When & how
Book an event slot online with the utility account number, or call the division to schedule the extra pickup so it lands on the household's collection week.
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.

Bulky items and household junk

Accepted with preparation

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.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

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.

Load the vehicle in the order the event unloads

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.

For your Dropcurb pickup

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.

City of Brentwood Solid Waste Division

Register for a Neighborhood Cleanup Event

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.

Open the Brentwood cleanup events page

City of Brentwood Solid Waste Division

Book an extra pickup for what will not fit a cart

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.

Open the Brentwood extra pickup page

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Brentwood runs its own solid waste division, so the routes start with the city rather than a hauler. A household with an active garbage account registers online for one spring and one fall Neighborhood Cleanup Event, brings up to two cubic yards of household material to the Brentwood Transfer Station at 2301 Elkins Way, and pays nothing, with wood and tires unloaded at the last stop, up to four tires per household and wood kept unpainted and untreated. Anything between events is an extra pickup booked with the Solid Waste Division at (925) 516-6090 or through a Service Request, and the city says a fee applies without publishing the amount. Household chemicals and electronics go to the Delta Household Hazardous Waste program, which is free for east Contra Costa County residents at the Pittsburg facility on Pittsburg-Antioch Highway and at three Saturday events a year, the October one at the Brentwood Transfer Station. For a load the city does not take, the garbage page lists two public disposal facilities open year-round, the Vasco Road Landfill in Livermore and the Pittsburg Transfer Station on Loveridge Road, both of which take most types of household refuse at an unpublished rate, and a construction project over the city's thresholds has to file a Waste Management Plan through Green Halo with at least 50 percent diversion.

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.

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.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Brentwood.

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Brentwood?

A trash bag is $59 as the first item and $10 additional. A filled household box is $59 as the first item. Add your actual items and quantities to see the combined price before booking. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; any applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

Can you pick up bags of junk today?

Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the booked bags and boxes outside and accessible according to your confirmation. You receive pickup updates and completion photos; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.

Do I count every object inside a bag or box?

No. Count the filled bags or boxes using the matching choice. Books and media go in Filled household box; clothes, bedding and shoes go in Bag of clothes & bedding; packed toys have a Box of toys choice. Empty cardboard is separate, with individual empty boxes and bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Heavy, oversized or unusual contents need a photo review before booking.

Can you pick up a small loose pile of household junk?

Yes. Estimate how many trash bags the small household pile would fill, and bag or box as much as possible. Select furniture and other larger items separately. There is no extra charge just because the pile is loose. Send a photo first if the count or contents are unclear. A household Dumpster Bag choice does not accept construction debris.

Can I book bags, boxes and furniture together?

Yes. Select the bags and boxes, then add each larger item using its own catalog choice. The booking shows one combined price for the selected items. Move everything to an accessible outdoor spot before pickup; indoor carrying and sorting are not included. Keep anything you want to retain apart from the booked items and identify what goes in your photos and notes.

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

What are the two ways to clear bulky junk in Brentwood?

Register for a Neighborhood Cleanup Event, which is free for a household with an active garbage account and takes up to two cubic yards of household items, with one spring and one fall registration available, or book an extra pickup with the Solid Waste Division at (925) 516-6090, for which the city says a fee applies.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

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
