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.

Mattresses

Special rules apply

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.
City solid waste and recycling programmeFranchise hauler service page, extra services and refusals

Couches, chairs and household furniture

Special rules apply

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.
Franchise hauler service page, extra services and refusals

Household appliances

Special rules apply

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.
Franchise hauler service page, extra services and refusals

Televisions and household electronics

Special rules apply

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.
Franchise hauler service page, extra services and refusalsHazardous waste accepted and refused at the collection facility

Construction and demolition material

Not on the regular city route

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.
Franchise hauler service page, extra services and refusals

Exercise equipment

Special rules apply

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.

When & how

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Concord separates the routes cleanly. Bagged household garbage and yard waste can go out on the free on-call pickup up to three times a calendar year, twelve 32 gallon bags of no more than 50 pounds each with branches tied in a bundle no larger than 18 inches by 3 feet.
