The clear-out can be finished.
You do not need a whole house of junk. Select the bags, boxes and larger items you actually have. Your combined price is shown online.
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.

Every Daly City household gets one free bulky goods collection each calendar year through Republic Services, scheduled ahead of time on the regular collection day. The load can be up to two cubic yards of contained material plus two bulky items, and the flyer lists the refused material.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. One collection per residential account each calendar year, January through December, scheduled in advance with Republic Services on (650) 756-1130. Additional cleanups may be available for a charge under the city approved programme guidelines.
When & how
Schedule at least one week ahead, and allow more notice if you can. The pickup happens on your regular collection day, and the city asks residents to contact the office at least one business day ahead to cancel or reschedule.
Get it ready
Put the material out the night before or by 4 a.m. at the end of the driveway where it meets the sidewalk or grass area, as close to the sidewalk as possible without blocking foot traffic. Bag, box or bundle everything, keep bundles under four feet and 60 pounds, and separate rimless tires from the rest of the load if you are using the two large item allowance.
Pieces of furniture are named as acceptable bulky items in the free annual collection, so a couch or dresser goes out with the scheduled pickup rather than on a regular cart day.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Furniture rides the one free bulky goods collection each calendar year for a residential account, with two bulky items allowed per collection as long as neither exceeds 200 pounds. Additional cleanups may carry a charge.
When & how
Schedule the collection with Republic Services at least a week ahead, then put the furniture out on your regular collection day, the night before or by 4 a.m.
Get it ready
Keep each piece at or under 200 pounds and free of loose parts, put it at the end of the driveway where it meets the sidewalk or grass area, and keep tires, appliances and other materials in their own groups so the crew can see what is being collected.
Mattresses and box springs are named in the bulky item definition and again on the city's mattress page, so the free annual bulky collection is the primary route, with drop-off sites and retailer take back as alternatives.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. One free bulky goods collection each calendar year per residential account covers mattresses and box springs as bulky items. Drop-off at a mattress collection site is a separate route and the city states that its costs vary by location.
When & how
Schedule the annual bulky pickup at least a week ahead for your regular collection day. The city also points to mattress collection events such as the Earth Day and Make a Difference Day recycling events, and to the Bye Bye Mattress site list for drop-off locations.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and put it out the night before or by 4 a.m. on the collection day at the end of the driveway where it meets the sidewalk or grass area. If you are buying a new mattress, ask the retailer to take the old one, because California retailers have to offer take back when they deliver new units.
The flyer names washing machines, dryers, refrigerators and freezers among the two bulky items the annual collection accepts, while microwaves and commercial refrigerators or freezers are refused.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Named appliances ride the one free bulky goods collection each calendar year per residential account, as up to two bulky items that must each stay at or under 200 pounds. A Republic Services office drop-off is available for batteries and lamps rather than for appliances.
When & how
Schedule the annual pickup with Republic Services at least a week ahead, then set the appliance out the night before or by 4 a.m. on your regular collection day.
Get it ready
Empty the appliance, secure or remove the door on anything a child could climb into, and keep it at or under 200 pounds. Keep microwaves and commercial refrigeration out of the load, because the flyer refuses them, and route hazardous material to the county household hazardous waste programme instead.
Televisions and computer monitors are the electronic waste the bulky collection accepts, with smaller sets counted toward the container allowance and larger ones counted as a bulky item. Other electronic waste is refused there and moves through the city's free events or the listed drop-off sites.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Televisions and monitors go out with the one free bulky goods collection each calendar year per residential account, and the city also runs free electronic waste collection events twice a year. Drop-off locations set their own terms, and the hauler charges a fee for electronic waste dropped at its office.
When & how
Either schedule the annual bulky pickup at least a week ahead for your regular collection day, or take devices to a city electronic waste event in the spring at the Earth Day Recycling Event or in October at Make a Difference Day at City Hall. Dates come from the City Manager's Office at (650) 991-8127.
Get it ready
A television or monitor under 32 inches and under four feet by four feet and 60 pounds can count as one bag, box or bundle toward the 12 container allowance, while a larger set counts as one of the two bulky items, so decide which allowance you are using when you schedule. Wipe personal data from computers and phones, and remember that other electronic waste is not accepted in this collection.
Concrete, dirt, rock, stucco and treated wood are refused by the bulky collection, and the city requires permitted projects to divert construction and demolition debris under its recycling ordinance instead.
City cost & eligibility
No collection rate is published for construction debris. A permitted project pays a refundable deposit at permit issuance under the city ordinance, minus an administration fee, and gets it back after submitting proof of recycling, while a household load moves through a private hauler or container, so confirm the route and the price before ordering.
When & how
No curbside collection day for this material. Project debris moves through a container or hauler, and a permitted project has to submit its recycling proof before final inspection.
Get it ready
Keep concrete, dirt, rock, stucco, treated wood and other project material out of the bulky pile, because the flyer refuses them. Keep the recycling receipts from a permitted project, since receipts marked as trash are not accepted for the deposit refund, and note that certain quick permits have 120 days from final inspection to file the refund paperwork.
Exercise equipment is not named on the flyer's acceptable or refused lists, so a treadmill or weight machine has to be confirmed with the hauler before it goes out with the annual bulky collection.
City cost & eligibility
A machine that counts as a bulky item would ride the one free annual collection, but the flyer does not name exercise equipment, so call Republic Services at (650) 756-1130 and confirm the piece when you schedule.
When & how
Ask when you schedule the annual collection, then set the machine out on your regular collection day, the night before or by 4 a.m., if it is approved.
Get it ready
Take off loose weights and accessories, keep each piece at or under 200 pounds, and remove the console or battery pack so the electronics can be routed separately.
Out the night before or by 4 a.m. at the end of the driveway
Bulk items go out the night before or by 4 a.m. on the scheduled pickup date, at the end of the driveway where it meets the sidewalk or grass area, as close to the sidewalk as possible without blocking foot traffic. Everything has to be bagged, boxed, bundled or otherwise contained, and bundles must be no longer than four feet and no heavier than 60 pounds.
The bulky goods collection has to be scheduled with Republic Services, with a minimum of one week of notice, and the city page asks residents to allow two weeks. The pickup happens on your regular collection day, it is once per calendar year, and the office should be told at least one business day ahead to cancel or reschedule.
All residents and businesses have to subscribe to curbside organics collection as part of their regular garbage service. Food scraps and food-soiled paper go in the kitchen pail and then into the green compost cart, which is placed on the curb for pickup by Republic Services, and a green cart can be requested by email or by calling (650) 756-1130.
Extra bags can be scheduled, and extra recycling is free
When there is more material than the carts hold, residents can set out extra 32-gallon bags of garbage or yard trimmings and must call or email Republic Services in advance to schedule the pickup. Extra recycling placed next to the recycling cart in paper bags or boxes labelled recycling carries no additional cost.
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.
A household with one or two large items such as a couch, mattress, appliance or television, plus up to two cubic yards of contained material, that can wait for a scheduled pickup.
Cost & conditions
No charge. One collection per residential account each calendar year, January through December, scheduled in advance. Additional cleanups may be available for a charge under the city approved programme guidelines.
Arrange it
Call or email Republic Services at least a week ahead, and allow two weeks if you can, then put the load out the night before or by 4 a.m. on your regular collection day at the end of the driveway where it meets the sidewalk or grass area.
Two bulky items, each at or under 200 pounds, plus up to two cubic yards or 12 containers of material. Vehicles, vehicle parts and batteries, motorcycles, dirt, rock, stucco, concrete, treated wood, hot ashes, animal waste, poison oak, microwaves, commercial refrigerators and freezers, toxic substances and paint, other electronic waste, and propane or pressurized tanks are refused.
A household with more garbage or yard trimmings than the carts hold in a normal week.
Cost & conditions
From $14.49 per extra 32-gallon bag of garbage, or per bag of extra yard trimmings and compostable material, on the city extras rate notice. Extra pickups have to be scheduled with Republic Services in advance, and the notice is undated, so confirm the current per bag amount when you call. Extra recycling in labelled paper bags or boxes beside the recycling cart has no additional cost.
Arrange it
Call or email Republic Services in advance to schedule the extra pickup, then set the labelled bags out with the carts.
The extra bag route covers ordinary garbage and yard trimmings only. It does not cover construction material, hazardous waste, appliances or the bulky items that need the annual collection.
County household hazardous waste events and facility
A household with paint, motor oil, cleaners, pesticides, batteries, fluorescent lights or other material the bulky collection refuses.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Free for San Mateo County residents at the quarterly collection events and at the county's permanent household hazardous waste facility on Thursdays through Saturdays except major holiday weekends. Both need an appointment.
Arrange it
Make an appointment through the county household hazardous waste programme or by calling 650-363-4718 and selecting option 3, then follow the county instructions for the event or the permanent facility.
Events run four times a year from 8:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m., and radioactive, explosive, medical and commercial waste is refused. The city publishes the 2026 Daly City event date as Saturday, April 18, 2026, so check for later dates.
Daly City residents mostly do not have to haul anything, because the bulky goods collection comes to the curb once a year. For the rest, the city points to drop-off routes rather than a city transfer station: Republic Services at 1680 Edgeworth Ave takes used cooking oil, household batteries and cell phones, and up to 10 compact fluorescent lamps and five tubes a month, with proof of residency, and it takes electronic waste for a fee by phone appointment on (650) 756-1130. Electronic drop-off locations the city lists include Best Buy in Colma, Crown Computer Recycling in San Carlos with no charge for anything electronic, Goodwill for computers, laptops, televisions and phones, and GreenCitizen in Burlingame, and the city asks residents to call before visiting. Household chemicals, paint and motor oil go to the county household hazardous waste programme by appointment on 650-363-4718, option 3, and mattresses and box springs can go to a mattress collection site, where the city notes costs vary, in addition to the free annual pickup.
