You want to know it is handled.
When the next collection does not fit your plans, choose a Dropcurb pickup day. Updates keep you informed, and completion photos show when the booked items are gone.
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.

A mattress is named as acceptable household material on the cleanup days and has to be placed separately from the rest of the pile.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included with the city's Neighborhood Cleanup days for residential addresses. The cleanup guide charges only for a pile set out more than 48 hours early or larger than 10 cubic yards, and a mattress or box spring is also a free residential drop-off item at Kiefer Landfill and the North Area Recovery Station.
When & how
Check the 2026 cleanup schedule for your street, then put the mattress out by 6 a.m. on that date and no more than 48 hours early, or take it to a county facility instead.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress separate from the rest of the pile, at the curb rather than in the gutter, and clear of the sidewalk and of carts and vehicles.
Furniture such as chairs, sofas and dining tables is accepted on the cleanup days when it is placed separately from the pile.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included with the city's Neighborhood Cleanup days for residential addresses, with the cleanup guide's charges applying only to a pile set out more than 48 hours early or larger than 10 cubic yards.
When & how
Put the furniture out on your street's cleanup date, no more than 48 hours ahead and by 6 a.m., with the pieces separate from the rest of the material.
Get it ready
Set furniture at the curb and not in the gutter, keep it clear of sidewalks and drainage ditches, and keep it away from carts and vehicles. Car seats and toys follow the same separate-placement rule.
Refrigerators, stoves, washers, dryers and air conditioners are accepted on the cleanup days when they are placed away from the pile with their doors removed.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included with the city's Neighborhood Cleanup days for residential addresses, with the cleanup guide's charges applying only to a pile set out more than 48 hours early or larger than 10 cubic yards. Large appliances are also free residential drop-off items at Kiefer Landfill and the North Area Recovery Station, limited to two per day.
When & how
Put appliances 1 to 2 feet from the pile on your cleanup date, or take them to a county facility for free drop-off during its published hours.
Get it ready
Remove the appliance doors for safety, empty the appliance of trash and debris, keep it upright and clear of the sidewalk. The cleanup program describes collection rather than a material recovery guarantee for the machine.
Computers, monitors, electronics and televisions are accepted on the cleanup days when they are placed away from the pile for separate electronic waste collection.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included with the city's Neighborhood Cleanup days for residential addresses, with the cleanup guide's charges applying only to a pile set out more than 48 hours early or larger than 10 cubic yards. Televisions, computers and other electronic waste are also free residential drop-off items at Kiefer Landfill and the North Area Recovery Station.
When & how
Put screens and computers 1 to 2 feet from the pile on your cleanup date, or drop them at a county facility, erasing personal data before any device leaves your hands.
Get it ready
Set electronics aside from the pile rather than inside it, keep smaller devices together and the screens whole, and remove loose batteries where the device allows so they can be taped and dropped at a hazardous waste facility. Products with built-in batteries go to an electronic waste program, not the hazardous waste drop-off.
Concrete, dirt, rocks, bricks, sheetrock, roofing, treated wood and steel pipes are refused on cleanup days and belong at a county facility instead.
City cost & eligibility
The cleanup days refuse construction material. Kiefer Landfill and the North Area Recovery Station publish separate gate fee schedules that were not retained, so confirm the current rate for the load before hauling. Clean loads of bricks, concrete without rebar up to 36 inches, and clean asphalt, tiles, rocks or stucco are free at Kiefer Landfill only.
When & how
Take the load to Kiefer Landfill at 12701 Kiefer Blvd. in Sloughhouse or the North Area Recovery Station at 4450 Roseville Road in North Highlands during their published hours, and cover and secure it for the trip.
Get it ready
Keep construction material and treated wood out of the cleanup pile so the rest of it is not refused, disassemble fencing before collection, and remove fluids and removable batteries before the load leaves. Separate green waste and clean wood at the facility so they can be composted.
Exercise equipment is not named on the cleanup material lists, so the city's collection contractor has to confirm the machine before it is set out.
City cost & eligibility
No published rate covers an exercise machine and the item is not named on either cleanup list. Confirm with Republic Services at 916-638-9000 before putting it out.
When & how
Call Republic Services with the machine type and size before your cleanup date, then set it out only if the contractor confirms it.
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 machine inside the 10 cubic yard pile limit.
Citrus Heights runs three cleanup days a year, each with a pile of up to 10 cubic yards of acceptable household material.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included with the city's Neighborhood Cleanup days for residential addresses, with a pile of up to 10 cubic yards or about 10 by 7 by 4 feet. A pile set out more than 48 hours early carries an improper large item setout charge, and a pile over 10 cubic yards carries a minimum excessive pile charge that rises with the amount of material.
When & how
Find your street's three 2026 dates on the cleanup schedule, watch for the door hanger seven days before collection, and have everything out by 6 a.m. on the day and no more than 48 hours early.
Get it ready
Box or bag loose material and close it, keep lumber, branches and plastic pipe inside 6 feet and wood inside 4 inches wide, put appliances, televisions, monitors, computers, electronics, carpeting, mattresses and up to four tires to one side, and keep hazardous waste, batteries, propane tanks, medical waste, auto parts and construction material out entirely.
Set appliances, electronics, carpeting, mattresses and tires apart from the pile
Appliances, televisions, monitors, computers, electronics, carpeting, mattresses, car seats, toys and up to four tires go to one side of the cleanup pile so they can be collected separately. Place appliances, televisions, monitors and computers 1 to 2 feet from the pile, and keep everything at the curb rather than in the gutter and clear of the sidewalk and of carts and vehicles.
Keep hazardous waste, batteries and propane tanks out of the pile
Batteries, paint, cleaning products, pesticides, propane tanks, medical waste, auto parts, boats and backyard spas are refused on cleanup days, and treated wood is not collected. Take hazardous material to the drop-off facility at the North Area Recovery Station, which takes up to 15 gallons or 125 pounds per month at no charge, put used batteries in a clear bag on top of the blue recycling cart, and arrange medical sharps with Republic Services by appointment.
Material goes out by 6 a.m. on your street's scheduled cleanup day and no more than 48 hours before it. Setting the pile out earlier carries an improper large item setout charge, and a pile over 10 cubic yards carries a minimum excessive pile charge that rises with the amount set out, so keep to the size and time limits.
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 residential addresses with furniture, mattresses, appliances, electronics, carpeting, bagged yard clippings, clean wood, plastic pipe, toys or up to four tires inside one 10 cubic yard pile.

Construction material, treated wood, steel pipes, auto parts, boats, backyard spas, batteries, propane tanks, medical waste, liquid waste and household hazardous waste are refused, along with commercial or contractor waste.

A household with construction debris, treated wood, a load too large for the cleanup pile, or material the cleanup days refuse.
Cost & conditions

Clean bricks, concrete without rebar up to 36 inches, and clean asphalt, tiles, rocks or stucco are free at Kiefer Landfill when the load contains only free items.
Arrange it
Kiefer Landfill is at 12701 Kiefer Blvd. in Sloughhouse, open Monday to Friday 6:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The North Area Recovery Station is at 4450 Roseville Road in North Highlands, open Monday to Friday 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Pay by cash, credit card or cheque, and arrive at least 15 minutes before closing.
Cover and secure the load because that is the law, remove fluids and removable batteries first, take items with built-in batteries to an electronic waste program, and separate green waste and clean wood for composting. Kiefer Landfill is the only county facility that takes treated wood, and it may close early when the daily vehicle limit is reached.
Citrus Heights households have three cleanup days a year rather than an on-call bulky appointment, so anything the cleanup pile refuses has to go somewhere else. The county's two public facilities take it: the North Area Recovery Station at 4450 Roseville Road in North Highlands and Kiefer Landfill at 12701 Kiefer Blvd. in Sloughhouse both accept household waste, some recyclables and hard to handle items from anyone, they charge gate fees on schedules published separately, they ask that loads be covered and secured because that is the law, and they require fluids and removable batteries to come out first. Large appliances, electronics, mattresses, clean metal and up to four passenger tires are free when a residential load contains nothing but free items, and Kiefer alone takes clean bricks, concrete without rebar and clean asphalt, tiles, rocks and stucco, plus treated wood. Hazardous material goes to the drop-off facility on the Roseville Road site, which takes up to 15 gallons or 125 pounds a month at no charge.
