City collection Furniture is expressly excluded from the collection containers and from the free on-call pickup, and moves through a special pickup for a fee. The hauler publishes no special pickup rate, so the amount is quoted when the owner or manager calls 925-682-9113 to arrange it.
City collection The city sends mattresses to the Mount Diablo Resource Recovery processing facility at 1300 Loveridge in Pittsburg for a fee, and the hauler's own pages leave a mattress out of the free on-call service and the containers. The city states that mattresses are accepted at the Mount Diablo Resource Recovery processing facility for a fee and publishes no amount, so confirm the fee and the facility's hours before you drive, or ask the hauler at 925-682-9113 about a special pickup.
City collection Appliances are excluded from the containers and from the free on-call pickup, and the published route is a special pickup for a fee. No appliance rate is published. Confirm the unit and the fee with Mount Diablo Resource Recovery at 925-682-9113 when the special pickup is booked.
City collection The free bulky route is the hauler's on-call pickup: bagged household garbage and yard waste, three times a year. No charge. Residents may request up to three on-call pickups per calendar year at no additional cost, collecting up to twelve 32 gallon bags of household garbage or yard waste weighing no more than 50 pounds apiece, with branches tied in a bundle no larger than 18 inches by 3 feet. Each pickup must be one week apart and on the regular collection day.
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?
Concord's franchise hauler, Mount Diablo Resource Recovery, has exclusive responsibility for solid waste in the city. Its free on-call pickups take bagged household garbage and yard waste only: up to three times a year, twelve 32 gallon bags of no more than 50 pounds each. Furniture, appliances, large items and electronic waste are excluded from the containers and from that free service, so they move through a paid special pickup or a retailer take-back. Hazardous material goes free to the Central Sanitary District facility in Martinez.
The city sends mattresses to the Mount Diablo Resource Recovery processing facility at 1300 Loveridge in Pittsburg for a fee, and the hauler's own pages leave a mattress out of the free on-call service and the containers.
City cost & eligibility
The city states that mattresses are accepted at the Mount Diablo Resource Recovery processing facility for a fee and publishes no amount, so confirm the fee and the facility's hours before you drive, or ask the hauler at 925-682-9113 about a special pickup.
When & how
Take the mattress to the Mount Diablo Resource Recovery processing facility at 1300 Loveridge in Pittsburg, or use the Bye Bye Mattress facility finder the city links, and confirm the current hours first.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress out of every collection container, because bulk items and furniture are on the unacceptable list for all containers on the hauler's page, and keep it dry and whole for the facility.
Furniture is expressly excluded from the collection containers and from the free on-call pickup, and moves through a special pickup for a fee.
City cost & eligibility
The hauler publishes no special pickup rate, so the amount is quoted when the owner or manager calls 925-682-9113 to arrange it.
When & how
Call the hauler to arrange the special pickup, then put the furniture out as instructed on the day it gives you.
Get it ready
Do not put furniture in or beside a collection container, because bulk items and furniture are on the unacceptable list for all containers, and keep it clear of the free on-call pile, which is limited to bagged material.
Appliances are excluded from the containers and from the free on-call pickup, and the published route is a special pickup for a fee.
City cost & eligibility
No appliance rate is published. Confirm the unit and the fee with Mount Diablo Resource Recovery at 925-682-9113 when the special pickup is booked.
When & how
Book the special pickup with the hauler and set the appliance out on the day it arranges.
Get it ready
Keep the appliance out of every container and out of the free on-call pile, because electronics and small appliances as well as bulk items and furniture are unacceptable in all containers.
Electronic waste cannot go in any container and is not part of the free on-call pickup; the hauler points to retailer take-back programmes and offers a separate-truck pickup for a fee.
City cost & eligibility
Retailer programmes are free or carry a small fee and the hauler's separate-truck electronics collection is quoted, so confirm the route and any charge before the item leaves the house.
When & how
Use a retailer take-back programme such as Best Buy, Apple or Staples, or call 925-682-9113 to arrange the hauler's separate-truck collection.
Get it ready
Keep televisions, computers, tablets and cell phones out of every collection container and out of the free on-call pile, and wipe or reset anything that stores data. The hazardous waste facility does not take electronic waste.
Building materials, concrete and treated wood are unacceptable in every container and excluded from the free on-call pickup, so the route is private.
City cost & eligibility
The city programme and the free on-call pickup do not take construction material. A private hauler or facility sets its own acceptance and price.
When & how
Arrange a private container or hauling service before the work starts, and describe each material and whether a contractor generated it.
Get it ready
Keep bricks, stones, gravel, concrete and all other building materials, along with treated wood waste, out of every container and out of the free on-call pile so the rest of the household service is not affected.
Exercise equipment is not named in the hauler's lists, so the machine has to be confirmed before it is set out.
City cost & eligibility
No published rate covers an exercise machine. Confirm with Mount Diablo Resource Recovery at 925-682-9113 whether it can be taken on a special pickup and what that costs.
When & how
Call the hauler with the machine type and size, then set it out only for the arrangement it gives you.
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 out of every collection container.
