City collection A couch leaves on the curbside bulky pickup. The hauler's Chico brochure lists furniture among the individual large items an account can put out, and the county landfill takes furniture as municipal solid waste for a household that hauls its own load. The bulky allowance is part of the residential rate rather than a free extra. The city rate schedule effective July 1, 2026 prices an additional bulky collection at $73.81 for the first cubic yard and $20.13 for each further cubic yard on the same trip, so confirm what remains of the account's two pickups a year when the pickup is booked.
City collection A mattress moves on the same bulky pickup that takes furniture. The county's recycling directory also names mattresses, box springs and futon mattresses at the Neal Road facility, so a curbside route and a self-haul route both exist. The bulky allowance is part of the monthly residential rate, and the city rate schedule effective July 1, 2026 prices a further bulky collection at $73.81 for the first cubic yard with $20.13 for each further cubic yard on the same trip. The county publishes a fee schedule for the landfill instead of item rates, so confirm the amount at the scale or with the hauler before the mattress moves.
City collection A large appliance is a bulky item in Chico. The hauler's brochure names appliances among the individual large items a pickup takes, the rate schedule prices an item containing Freon on its own, and the county directory names appliance businesses and metal yards for a drop-off. A bulky pickup is covered by the account's annual allowance, and the city rate schedule effective July 1, 2026 prices a bulky item containing Freon at $59.06 per item on the same trip, with a further bulky collection at $73.81 for the first cubic yard. The county's appliance directory warns that fees may apply depending on the unit's condition, so confirm before the appliance leaves the house.
City collection Chico handles large items through its residential franchise rather than a municipal counter. The hauler's brochure gives each account up to two curbside bulky pickups a year, each combining four cubic yards of loose material with three individual large items such as a television, furniture or an appliance. The bulky allowance is part of the monthly residential rate, which the current schedule sets at $26.59 for a 32 gallon curbside cart, $37.98 for 64 gallons and $46.06 for 96 gallons, each including garbage, recycling and organics. An additional bulky collection is priced at $73.81 for the first cubic yard, $20.13 per further cubic yard on the same trip and $59.06 for an item containing Freon, so confirm what remains of the allowance when booking.
The highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Chico collects household clutter in two steps rather than one. Waste Management holds the city franchise for residential garbage, recycling and organics, and the same account carries a curbside bulky pickup allowance for the large items that will not fit in a cart. The hauler's Chico service brochure gives each residential account up to two bulky pickups a year, each one a combination of loose material up to four cubic yards plus three individual large items such as a television, furniture or an appliance, and it books them by phone at least 48 hours before the usual collection day with everything curbside by 5 a.m. The account's allowance, not the item list, decides what a pickup costs, because the city rate schedule effective July 1, 2026 prices a further bulky collection, further cubic yards and any item containing Freon on its own. The refusals are firm: tires, construction debris, medical waste and household hazardous waste do not go in a bulky pile. For those loads Butte County runs the two facilities residents end up using, the Neal Road Recycling and Waste Facility off Highway 99 in Paradise for furniture, carpet, concrete, drywall and appliances, and the Butte Regional Household Hazardous Waste Facility at the Chico airport for paints, cleaners, automotive fluids, batteries and cathode-ray televisions.
A couch leaves on the curbside bulky pickup. The hauler's Chico brochure lists furniture among the individual large items an account can put out, and the county landfill takes furniture as municipal solid waste for a household that hauls its own load.
City cost & eligibility
The bulky allowance is part of the residential rate rather than a free extra. The city rate schedule effective July 1, 2026 prices an additional bulky collection at $73.81 for the first cubic yard and $20.13 for each further cubic yard on the same trip, so confirm what remains of the account's two pickups a year when the pickup is booked.
When & how
Call Waste Management at (530) 893-4777 at least 48 hours before the usual collection day and name the pieces when the appointment is made. Collection is not run on New Year's Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving or Christmas.
Get it ready
Have the piece curbside by 5 a.m. on the collection day. A bulky pickup combines four cubic yards of loose material with three individual large items, so keep the loose pile inside that limit and leave tires, construction debris, medical waste and household hazardous waste out of it.
A mattress moves on the same bulky pickup that takes furniture. The county's recycling directory also names mattresses, box springs and futon mattresses at the Neal Road facility, so a curbside route and a self-haul route both exist.
City cost & eligibility
The bulky allowance is part of the monthly residential rate, and the city rate schedule effective July 1, 2026 prices a further bulky collection at $73.81 for the first cubic yard with $20.13 for each further cubic yard on the same trip. The county publishes a fee schedule for the landfill instead of item rates, so confirm the amount at the scale or with the hauler before the mattress moves.
When & how
Book the bulky pickup with Waste Management at (530) 893-4777 at least 48 hours ahead, or take the mattress to Neal Road at 1023 Neal Road in Paradise, open every day from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and out of the recycling and green waste carts. At the landfill it goes in with municipal solid waste.
A large appliance is a bulky item in Chico. The hauler's brochure names appliances among the individual large items a pickup takes, the rate schedule prices an item containing Freon on its own, and the county directory names appliance businesses and metal yards for a drop-off.
City cost & eligibility
A bulky pickup is covered by the account's annual allowance, and the city rate schedule effective July 1, 2026 prices a bulky item containing Freon at $59.06 per item on the same trip, with a further bulky collection at $73.81 for the first cubic yard. The county's appliance directory warns that fees may apply depending on the unit's condition, so confirm before the appliance leaves the house.
When & how
Book the pickup at least 48 hours ahead with Waste Management at (530) 893-4777 and say the unit holds refrigerant, or take it to Neal Road, where refrigerators are accepted as hazardous waste and the scale house explains the procedure.
Get it ready
Empty the unit before it goes out, and keep refrigerant, antifreeze, used motor oil and gasoline out of any landfill load, because the county refuses all of them there. Paint, cleaners and batteries belong at the household hazardous waste facility instead.
A television is a bulky large item rather than a cart item: the hauler's brochure names televisions among the individual large items a pickup takes, and California's covered device law bars monitors and televisions from regular garbage. The county hazardous waste facility at the Chico airport takes cathode-ray units.
City cost & eligibility
A television on a bulky pickup uses the account's annual allowance, and the city rate schedule effective July 1, 2026 prices a further collection separately at $73.81 for the first cubic yard with $20.13 for each further cubic yard on the same trip. The household hazardous waste facility is free to Butte County households that show a garbage or utility bill, while a qualifying small business pays a fee and needs an appointment.
When & how
Add the television to a bulky pickup booked at least 48 hours ahead, or take it to the Butte Regional Household Hazardous Waste Facility at 1101 Marauder Street, open Fridays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. with no appointment for a county household.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data from a computer before it leaves the house, keep electronics and batteries out of every cart, and keep a cathode-ray unit off a landfill load. The facility asks for original labeled containers, no mixing, and no more than five gallons or 50 pounds per trip.
Construction material is refused in a cart and refused in a bulky pickup, so a renovation load goes to the county landfill or to a business the county lists. Neal Road takes dirt, concrete, asphalt, construction rebar, rocks, sheetrock, drywall and non-asbestos shingles.
City cost & eligibility
The county publishes a fee schedule for the landfill rather than per item rates, and its directory names Franklin Construction Company at 999 Neal Road for asphalt, bricks and concrete alongside the landfill itself, so the price depends on the site and the weight. Confirm the accepted material and the rate before loading a trailer.
When & how
Take the load to the Neal Road Recycling and Waste Facility at 1023 Neal Road in Paradise, open every day from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. and closed only on Easter, the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas Day and New Year's Day.
Get it ready
Keep construction debris out of the cart and out of a bulky pile. Chemical containers going to the landfill have to be empty, opened and dry, friable asbestos is refused, and separating clean, dry carpet from its pad lets it be recycled.
Exercise equipment is named nowhere in the city franchise material, the hauler's Chico brochure or the county's disposal lists, so a treadmill, weight machine or rower has to be confirmed before it is set out.
City cost & eligibility
No published rate covers an exercise machine by itself. A bulky pickup is part of the residential rate with an annual allowance, and the city rate schedule effective July 1, 2026 prices further collections at $73.81 for the first cubic yard with $20.13 per further cubic yard, so confirm whether the machine fits the allowance and what it would cost.
When & how
Ask Waste Management at (530) 893-4777 whether the machine can go out as one of the three individual large items, then book the pickup at least 48 hours before the usual collection day.
Get it ready
Describe the machine and its size when you call, and take the console or any battery pack off so the electronics are routed separately.
Chico handles large items through its residential franchise rather than a municipal counter. The hauler's brochure gives each account up to two curbside bulky pickups a year, each combining four cubic yards of loose material with three individual large items such as a television, furniture or an appliance.
City cost & eligibility
The bulky allowance is part of the monthly residential rate, which the current schedule sets at $26.59 for a 32 gallon curbside cart, $37.98 for 64 gallons and $46.06 for 96 gallons, each including garbage, recycling and organics. An additional bulky collection is priced at $73.81 for the first cubic yard, $20.13 per further cubic yard on the same trip and $59.06 for an item containing Freon, so confirm what remains of the allowance when booking.
When & how
Call (530) 893-4777 at least 48 hours before the usual collection day, say what is going out, and have everything curbside by 5 a.m. A household that runs out of allowance can add another collection, which the rate schedule prices separately.
Get it ready
Keep the loose load inside four cubic yards and separate the individual large items, up to three in one pickup. Tires, construction debris, medical waste and household hazardous waste are refused, and one extra green waste and recycling cart can be added to the account at no additional cost.
A bulky pickup is booked by phone and confirmed by the allowance
Waste Management runs the city's bulky collection, so the route is a phone call rather than an online request: (530) 893-4777, at least 48 hours before the usual collection day, with the items named when the appointment is made. Everything has to be curbside by 5 a.m. on the collection day. The account's annual allowance is what decides whether the pickup is included or billed, and the city rate schedule effective July 1, 2026 prices further collections, further cubic yards and an item containing Freon separately.
Carts go out by 6 a.m. and nothing else rides along
Trash, recycling and green waste come out on the same weekly collection day with the container against the curb and at least three feet from parked cars, mailboxes and other obstacles, and the container goes back in the same day. All trash is bagged and the lid has to close, because overflow or material left outside can be billed or left behind. Construction waste, auto parts, tires, household hazardous waste and medical or electronic waste do not belong in any cart.
What the bulky pickup and the landfill will not take
Tires, construction debris, medical waste and household hazardous waste are refused in a bulky pickup, and the county landfill refuses liquid paints, antifreeze, used motor oil, freon gas, compressed gases, pool chemicals, ammunition and explosives on top of that. Paints, cleaners, automotive fluids, batteries, fluorescent lights and electronic waste go instead to the Butte Regional Household Hazardous Waste Facility at 1101 Marauder Street, which is free to county households that show a garbage or utility bill and is open Fridays and Saturdays.
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.
Waste Management under the City of Chico residential franchise, with Butte County solid waste facilities and the Butte Regional Household Hazardous Waste Facility
Book the curbside bulky pickup
A household inside the city limits with an active residential account and a couch, mattress, appliance, television or other large item that will not fit in a cart.
Cost & conditions
The hauler's Chico brochure gives each residential account up to two bulky pickups a year as part of the monthly rate, and the city rate schedule effective July 1, 2026 prices a further collection at $73.81 for the first cubic yard with $20.13 per further cubic yard and $59.06 for an item containing Freon. Confirm what remains of the allowance when the pickup is booked.
Arrange it
Call Waste Management at (530) 893-4777 at least 48 hours before the usual collection day, name the items, and have everything curbside by 5 a.m.
Up to two pickups a year per account, each with four cubic yards of loose material and three individual large items, and tires, construction debris, medical waste and household hazardous waste are refused.
Waste Management under the City of Chico residential franchise, with Butte County solid waste facilities and the Butte Regional Household Hazardous Waste Facility
Add another bulky collection
A household that has used its annual bulky allowance and still has large items to clear.
Cost & conditions
From $73.81 for for the first cubic yard of an additional bulky waste collection, with each further cubic yard on the same trip priced separately and an item containing Freon priced as its own charge. Residential curbside accounts under the City of Chico rate schedule effective July 1, 2026, with the total depending on what goes out, so confirm the amount when the collection is booked.
Arrange it
Add the collection through Waste Management at (530) 893-4777 and set the material out by 5 a.m. on the collection day.
The schedule prices the extra collection, the extra cubic yards and any appliance containing Freon separately, and the same refusals apply to tires, construction debris, medical waste and household hazardous waste.
Waste Management under the City of Chico residential franchise, with Butte County solid waste facilities and the Butte Regional Household Hazardous Waste Facility
Take hazardous items to the regional facility
A Butte County household with paint, cleaners, automotive fluids, batteries, fluorescent lights, a cathode-ray television or monitor, pharmaceuticals or sharps.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Free to all Butte County households that show proof of residency such as a garbage or utility bill; a qualifying small business pays a fee and needs an appointment by phone.
Arrange it
Drive to 1101 Marauder Street at the Chico airport on a Friday or Saturday, with no appointment needed for a household.
No more than five gallons or 50 pounds at one time, products kept in original labeled containers and not mixed, and the facility refuses radioactive material, infectious medical waste, explosives and household trash.
A household with furniture or household goods that are still usable and worth passing on.
Cost & conditions
A donation carries no disposal charge, but the store decides what it can take and when, so confirm the item and the drop-off hours before loading the vehicle.
Arrange it
Take the item to a store on the county's reuse list, such as The Arc Store at 2030 Park Avenue or the Salvation Army Thrift Stores at 700 Broadway.
The county lists these stores for household items rather than for every material, so a stained mattress, a broken appliance or a television needs another route.
Drop an appliance at a business on the county list
A household replacing a major appliance that still has value as metal or could be resold, and that would rather drop it off than book a pickup.
Cost & conditions
The county's appliance listing warns that fees may apply depending on the condition of the unit and the current price of recycled materials, so confirm what the business charges before the unit is loaded.
Arrange it
Take the appliance to a business on the county list, such as Chico Scrap Metal South at 766 Oroville-Chico Highway in Durham or Best Buy at 2005 Forest Avenue in Chico.
The list is a directory rather than a promise, the business decides what it accepts, and a unit that still holds refrigerant needs a business set up for it or the hauler's bulky pickup.
County landfill for household loads, furniture, carpet and construction material
Neal Road Recycling and Waste Facility
1023 Neal Road, Paradise, CA 95969
The county's dumping guidelines list municipal solid waste that includes furniture, carpet, textiles, glass, porcelain and ceramics, yard trimmings, wood waste, sheetrock and drywall, and dirt, concrete, asphalt, construction rebar and rocks with recycling on site, plus non-asbestos roofing and shingles. Tires are taken as a special waste, and car batteries, refrigerators and fluorescent tubes are accepted as hazardous waste with the scale house explaining the procedure. The county's materials directory also names this site for mattresses, box springs, major appliances, unpainted wood and carpet.
Liquid paints including latex and other water-based paint, freon gas, air-conditioning refrigerant, antifreeze, used motor oil and lubricating oil, gasoline, compressed gases, pool chemicals, pesticides, ammunition, explosives, radioactive material and friable asbestos are refused. Payment is cash, local checks or credit cards only, with no debit cards and no third-party checks, and the site cannot take fire debris that has not been screened for hazardous waste, so ask at the scale house when a load is unusual.
Every day from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., closed on Easter, the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Year's Day, with Christmas Eve open from 7 a.m. to noon.
The county publishes a fee schedule for the facility rather than rates on the page, and the charge depends on the material and the weight of the load, so confirm the amount at the scale before a first trip.

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 couch get collected in Chico?+
A couch goes out on the curbside bulky pickup that Waste Management runs under the city franchise. The hauler's Chico service brochure lists furniture among the individual large items a residential account can set out, and a pickup combines loose material up to four cubic yards with three such items. Book it at least 48 hours ahead and have it curbside by 5 a.m. A household that would rather haul it can take furniture to the Neal Road facility, where the county accepts it as municipal solid waste.Official guidance
Where does a mattress or box spring go in Chico?+
Two routes are published. The county's recycling directory lists mattresses, box springs and futon mattresses at the Neal Road Recycling and Waste Facility in Paradise, and it also lists a bulky item pickup appointment through Waste Management. County households usually start with the curbside bulky pickup, because the residential rate already carries an allowance for it, and a mattress and box spring count against that allowance.Official guidance
Can a refrigerator go out with a Chico bulky pickup?+
Yes, with a charge attached. The hauler's Chico brochure lists appliances among the individual large items a curbside bulky pickup takes, and the city rate schedule effective July 1, 2026 prices a bulky item containing Freon on its own, so the unit has to be declared when the pickup is booked. The county landfill also accepts refrigerators as hazardous waste and explains the procedure at the scale house.Official guidance
Where do televisions and computers go in Chico?+
Two published routes. A television can go out as one of the individual large items on a curbside bulky pickup, and the county's household hazardous waste facility at 1101 Marauder Street takes monitors and televisions containing cathode-ray tubes along with computers, batteries and fluorescent lights. Working computers can also be donated through the county's reuse listing, which names Chico Computers for Classrooms on Otterson Drive.Official guidance
How does the Chico bulky pickup work?+
The hauler collects bulky items at the curb under the city franchise. The Chico service brochure gives each residential account up to two bulky pickups a year, each one a combination of loose material up to four cubic yards and three individual large items such as a television, furniture or an appliance. Book it by phone at least 48 hours before the usual collection day, name the items, and have everything curbside by 5 a.m.Official guidance
Who collects trash and bulky items in Chico?+
Waste Management collects residential garbage, recycling and green waste inside the city limits under the city franchise, and the city's environmental services line answers program questions at (530) 592-5541 or Recycle@chicoca.gov. Commercial collection was franchised to both Recology Butte and Colusa Counties and Waste Management in designated zones. County government runs the landfill and the household hazardous waste facility, which is why bulky, construction and hazardous questions cross between the city franchise and the county.Official guidance
How many bulky pickups does a Chico household get?+
The hauler's Chico service brochure gives each residential account up to two curbside bulky pickups a year, each one a combination of loose material up to four cubic yards and three individual large items such as a television, furniture or an appliance. The city rate schedule effective July 1, 2026 prices a further collection, further cubic yards and any item containing Freon separately, so confirm what remains on the account when you book at (530) 893-4777.Official guidance
Where do paint, batteries and televisions go in Chico?+
To the Butte Regional Household Hazardous Waste Facility at 1101 Marauder Street at the Chico airport, which takes paints including latex, cleaners, automotive fluids, batteries, fluorescent lights, televisions and monitors with cathode-ray tubes, pharmaceuticals and sharps. It is free to Butte County households that show a garbage or utility bill, and it is open Fridays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. with no appointment. No more than five gallons or 50 pounds can travel at one time.Official guidance
When is the county landfill open?+
Neal Road Recycling and Waste Facility at 1023 Neal Road in Paradise is open every day from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. and closes on Easter, the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day, with Christmas Eve open until noon. It takes cash, local checks and credit cards only, with no debit cards, and the county publishes its fee schedule separately, so confirm the rate for the load at the scale.Official guidance
