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.

Bulky items and household clutter

Accepted with preparation

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.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

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.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Self-hauling in Chico means driving out to the county facilities. 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 only on Easter, the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day, with Christmas Eve ending at noon. It takes furniture, carpet and pad, textiles, glass and ceramics, wood waste, sheetrock and drywall, and dirt, concrete, asphalt and rebar with recycling on site, while tires are handled as a special waste and car batteries, refrigerators and fluorescent tubes go through the scale house as hazardous waste. What it will not take is just as important: liquid paints and other chemicals, freon gas, air-conditioning refrigerant, antifreeze, used motor oil, gasoline, compressed gases, pool chemicals, ammunition, explosives and radioactive material. Payment there is cash, local checks or credit cards, with no debit cards. Household hazardous waste goes instead to the Butte Regional facility at 1101 Marauder Street at the Chico airport, which is free to county households that show a garbage or utility bill and is open Fridays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., with a five gallon or 50 pound limit per trip. The county also lists mattress and appliance routes for households that would rather use a business: mattresses and box springs are taken at Neal Road or through a bulky item pickup appointment, and major appliances can go to retailers and metal businesses the county names, with fees that depend on the condition of the unit.

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.
