The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Carmichael is unincorporated, so the county runs the collection programme. Households in the unincorporated area get weekly garbage, biweekly recycling and weekly organics, plus one bulky waste appointment every twelve months for five cubic yards of acceptable items. Furniture, mattresses, appliances, electronic waste and up to four tires can ride with that appointment when they are set to one side, while concrete, dirt, treated wood and hazardous waste cannot.

No charge. One bulky waste pickup appointment every twelve months for five cubic yards of acceptable items is included in the standard residential curbside collection service for the unincorporated area. More than five cubic yards is charged at current rates and fifteen cubic yards is the maximum for one pickup.
When & how
Book the appointment with the county, then put the mattress out for the scheduled pickup day with the rest of the pile.
Get it ready
Keep the whole pile to five cubic yards, about a pile 8 by 4 by 4 feet, and keep anything accepted in the garbage, organics or recycling carts out of it.
Furniture is named as acceptable bulky household material on the same yearly appointment.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the one bulky waste appointment every twelve months for five cubic yards of acceptable items; extra volume and extra appointments are charged at current rates.
When & how
Book the appointment and put the furniture out on the collection day inside the five cubic yard allowance.
Get it ready
Keep everything that fits in the garbage, organics or recycling carts out of the pile, and keep lumber, pipes and trimmings inside four inches wide by five feet long.
Appliances are accepted as bulky household material when they are empty and their doors are removed or securely taped or tied closed.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the one bulky waste appointment every twelve months for five cubic yards of acceptable items; extra volume and extra appointments are charged at current rates.
When & how
Book the appointment and tell the county you have an appliance, because it is set to one side and may be collected by a different truck.
Get it ready
Empty the appliance completely with no trash or debris inside, and for child safety remove the doors or secure them with tape or ties before the item goes to the kerb. The programme describes collection rather than a recovery guarantee for the machine.
Electronic waste such as televisions, computer monitors and mobile phones is accepted with the bulky appointment when the smaller devices are boxed together.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the one bulky waste appointment every twelve months for five cubic yards of acceptable items, with electronic waste placed to one side of the pile; extra volume and extra appointments are charged at current rates.
When & how
Say when booking that you have electronic waste, then put it to one side of the bulky pile so the crew can collect it separately.
Get it ready
Box smaller devices together, keep the screens whole, and remember that products with embedded or built-in batteries are not accepted at the hazardous waste drop-off and have to go to an electronic waste programme such as Kiefer Landfill or the North Area Recovery Station. Remove loose batteries and tape their terminals before disposal.
Concrete, dirt, rocks, bricks, stumps, heavy objects and treated wood are refused on the bulky route and belong at a county facility instead.
City cost & eligibility
The North Area Recovery Station and Kiefer Landfill publish separate gate fee schedules that are not part of the retained pages, so confirm the current rate for the load before hauling.
When & how
Take the load to the North Area Recovery Station at 4450 Roseville Road or Kiefer Landfill at 12701 Kiefer Blvd. during their published hours, and cover and secure it for the trip.
Get it ready
Keep concrete, dirt, rocks, bricks, stumps, glass panes and treated wood out of the bulky pile so the rest of the appointment is not refused, and remove fluids and removable batteries from anything you take to a facility.
Exercise equipment is not named in the acceptable or refused lists, so the county has to confirm the machine before the appointment.
City cost & eligibility
No published rate covers an exercise machine and the item is not named. Confirm with the county at 916-875-5555 whether it can go in the five cubic yard allowance.
When & how
Call the county with the machine type and size before booking, then include it in the appointment only if it is accepted.
Get it ready
Fold or tie down the deck and handles, remove any console or battery pack so it can be handled separately, and keep the item inside the five cubic yard pile.

Keep hazardous waste and cart material out of the pile
Batteries, chemicals, oil, paint, propane tanks and fluorescent ballasts are refused on the bulky route and go to a household hazardous waste drop-off instead, where the county takes up to 15 gallons or 125 pounds per month at no fee. Anything that belongs in the garbage, organics or recycling cart stays out of the pile, along with liquids, glass panes, hot ashes and business waste.
