Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, or choose a future date at checkout. You arrange the move outside before pickup.
Know when they’ve been collected.
Get a text when your hauler is on the way and photos when the pickup is done. With everything outside and accessible, you don’t need to stay home.
You don’t need to guess how much space your furniture fills in a truck. Match each piece to the catalog, then add its quantity. Your total updates as you go.
Tables and chairs
Choose the table, then add each chair separately. Coffee tables, side tables and dining tables have their own options. A large or substantially heavy table has a different choice.
Dressers and mirrors
Match the dresser’s overall size. Add a separate dresser mirror as its own item if it is leaving too. Empty drawers and keep the belongings you want before moving the dresser outside.
Desks and bookshelves
Choose by construction, not height alone. A basic desk is different from a heavy desk with a substantial body. A tall, lightweight bookcase can still be a standard bookshelf. Empty it first.

A couch rides in one of the two curbside on-call collections Cupertino households get each year at no additional charge, counted against a limit of three bulky items per collection, and the Recology South Bay transfer station also takes furniture for a fee.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. No additional charge for the two residential on-call collections each year, where bulky goods such as furniture or appliances are limited to three items per collection. A further collection in the same year is available for a fee, and a self-hauled load at the transfer station is priced there.
When & how
Call Recology at 408.725.4020 at least 24 hours before the pickup day, then put the items at the entrance to your driveway no later than 7 AM, or drive them to the Recology South Bay transfer station at 1675 Rogers Ave in San Jose, open Monday through Friday 6 AM to 5 PM and Saturday 6 AM to 2 PM.
Get it ready
Keep the set-out on private property at the driveway entrance, never in the street or on the sidewalk, and keep loose pieces inside an area 8 feet long, 4 feet wide and 4 feet high. Each item must stay under 50 pounds, under 6 feet long and manageable by one person. Hazardous waste such as paint, medication, solvents, pesticides and fertilizers is refused, and so is treated wood such as fence posts and deck material. In a multi-family building, the property manager schedules the pickup.
Cupertino households get two on-call collections a year at no additional charge, limited to three bulky items per collection, and every collection has to be booked with Recology at least 24 hours ahead and placed on private property at the driveway entrance by 7 AM. Loose pieces must fit inside an area 8 feet long, 4 feet wide and 4 feet high, and each item must stay under 50 pounds and under 6 feet. Further collections cost more, extra garbage needs a purchased Extra Bag Tag, and nothing bulky goes to the curb before the pickup is scheduled.
Keep hazardous and treated material out of the pile
Hazardous waste such as paint, medication, solvents, pesticides and fertilizers is refused in an on-call collection, and treated wood such as fence posts and deck material is refused with it. Those materials belong at the county household hazardous waste drop-off, which needs a free appointment and proof of residency, and the city Environmental Recycling Day is not a substitute because it refuses products containing toxic chemicals. Electronics should never go in a cart, because the city and the state prohibit e-waste in garbage, recycling and compost containers.
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.

Cost & conditions
No charge.

Further collections are available for a fee, and a multi-family building schedules through the property manager.
Arrange it
Book at least 24 hours ahead with Recology at 408.725.4020 and set the material out on private property at the driveway entrance by 7 AM on the collection day. Extra garbage needs a purchased Extra Bag Tag, while extra recycling and organics go out at no additional cost.
Hazardous waste such as paint, medication, solvents, pesticides and fertilizers is refused, and treated wood such as fence posts and deck material is refused with it. Loose pieces must fit inside an area 8 feet long, 4 feet wide and 4 feet high, and single items must stay under 50 pounds and under 6 feet.
Extra garbage, furniture, appliances, construction and demolition material, mattresses and box springs, monitors and televisions, yard waste, carpet and metal.
Cost & conditions
The station publishes no rate card, so the charge is quoted when the load is weighed, and payment is by credit or debit card only.
Arrange it
Drive to 1675 Rogers Ave in San Jose, open Monday through Friday 6 AM to 5 PM and Saturday 6 AM to 2 PM and closed Sunday, and enter through the Customer Parking entryway. Call 408.588.7200 with questions about a load.
The station accepts the materials on its published list and charges by weight, so an unusual load should be confirmed by phone first. Recology refuses televisions, computer monitors, toxic chemicals, hazardous waste, paint, tires, freezers and refrigerators in its debris boxes, which is a separate service from the transfer station.
Self-haul in Cupertino means the Recology South Bay transfer station at 1675 Rogers Ave in San Jose, open Monday through Friday 6 AM to 5 PM and Saturday 6 AM to 2 PM, where garbage, furniture, appliances, construction material, mattresses, monitors and televisions, yard waste and carpet are accepted at a charge quoted when the load is weighed. A larger renovation belongs in a Recology debris box, because Recology is the exclusive hauler of garbage in the city, and the city also lists five disposal facilities at Zanker, Newby Island, Guadalupe, Kirby Canyon and Schnitzer that take drop-offs at a cost by volume or weight, with a call advised first. Small loads can avoid the trip through the free quarterly drop-off at De Anza College.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Cupertino.
How much does furniture removal cost in Cupertino?+
Choose the type and size of each piece to see its price. For example, a medium dresser is $79 as the first item or $29 as an additional item. Your total starts with the highest first-item price in your selection, then uses the additional-item price for every other item. Review the complete total and any applicable tax before payment.
Can I get same-day furniture pickup in Cupertino?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup and choose from the dates shown at checkout. Arrange to have the furniture outside according to your confirmation. You receive a text when your hauler is on the way and photos after collection.
Will you remove furniture from inside my apartment?+
Dropcurb starts outside. You arrange indoor carrying, including any interior stairs or elevator trip. We load and take away the furniture from an accessible outdoor location. Check your building’s rules and plan the route out before booking.
Can you take several different furniture items in one pickup?+
Yes. Add each piece and its quantity to one booking. A dining table and four chairs are five items; a separate mirror is not included with a dresser. You can mix eligible items from different rooms and review their combined total before paying.
Do I need to take furniture apart before pickup?+
You arrange any disassembly needed to move the furniture out of your home and into an accessible outdoor pickup spot. Dropcurb does not provide indoor disassembly or carrying. If you are unsure which catalog choice matches a dismantled or unusual piece, send a photo and ask before booking.
How do I schedule a couch pickup in Cupertino?+
Call Recology at 408.725.4020. Each Cupertino household gets two on-call collections a year at no additional charge, limited to three bulky items per collection, and the load must be scheduled at least 24 hours ahead and placed at the entrance to your driveway by 7 AM on the collection day. Apartment residents arrange it through the property manager, and a couch beyond those collections or a self-hauled transfer station load costs more.Official guidance
Who collects garbage in Cupertino?+
Recology South Bay is the exclusive hauler of garbage in Cupertino. The curbside program covers garbage, single-stream recycling and food and yard waste composting, and it also includes used cooking oil collection, battery and compact fluorescent bulb collection, household hazardous waste drop-off and on-call collection of bulky items. Residents choose a 96, 64, 32 or 20 gallon garbage cart, bills arrive once every three months, and the city Environmental Programs Division answers questions at 408.777.3236.Official guidance
Where do paint, chemicals, batteries and medications go in Cupertino?+
To the Santa Clara County Household Hazardous Waste Program, a free drop-off for County residents that takes paint, pool chemicals, pesticides, cleaning solvents, batteries, fluorescent and LED bulbs, propane, e-waste, medications and sharps. Every visit needs a free appointment first at 408.299.7300, the drop-off address is sent after the appointment is booked, and proof of residency is required. Household batteries alone can go in a sealed bag on top of the recycling cart on collection day.Official guidance
What can apartment residents in Cupertino use?+
Multi-family residents share the same curbside program through their property, and battery and light bulb collection may be available at the leasing office, so ask the property manager what is offered. An on-call bulky pickup for a multi-family building is scheduled through the property manager, and the county household hazardous waste appointment is open to the resident directly.Official guidance
