The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Dublin has one franchise hauler, Amador Valley Industries, collecting compost, recycling and landfill material every week and running the large item service. A single family household gets three free large item collections each contract year, from July 1 to June 30, and each pickup has to fit inside seven cubic yards. Mattresses, furniture, appliances, televisions and up to four car tires without rims all ride that service, while dirt, concrete and hazardous material never do. Renovation work is separate again: the city requires 65 to 75 per cent diversion and names AVI as the only allowed hauler.

Remove the doors from a refrigerator or freezer before it goes to the curb, empty and defrost the unit, and keep it out of the carts. The programme names water heaters and other similar household appliances alongside refrigerators and freezers.
Electronic waste is accepted on the free large item service, including televisions, monitors, computers, cell phones and items containing cathode ray tubes.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Dublin single family residential households for the large item collection, which the city publishes as three free on-call pickups a year including electronic waste. Alameda County residents can also drop hazardous waste and electronics at the four county facilities for free with no appointment.
When & how
Book the large item pickup with Amador Valley Industries at (925) 479-9545 at least three days ahead, or use an Alameda County household hazardous waste facility, which takes electronics with no appointment. Dublin Police Services also runs a biannual e-waste and shredding event on dates posted to the city calendar.
Get it ready
Wipe or reset anything that stores data, keep electronics out of all three carts because hazardous and electronic waste does not belong in the garbage, compost or recycling, and keep the unit inside the seven cubic yard load with small items boxed or bagged.
Dublin requires construction and demolition projects to recycle 65 per cent for remodels and tenant improvements and 75 per cent for new construction, with all asphalt and concrete recycled.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no construction container or tipping rate, and AVI quotes its own dumpster and C&D box charges. Confirm the container, the diversion paperwork and the current charge with Amador Valley Industries and the city's Building and Safety Division.
When & how
File the waste management plan through the city's process before work starts, haul through AVI or self-haul under the Building and Safety Division, and submit the PCBs screening assessment with a demolition permit application.
Get it ready
Separate asphalt and concrete, which must be recycled in full, from the rest of the debris that carries the 65 or 75 per cent requirement, and keep the load covered where the receiving facility requires it. Dirt, concrete and hazardous materials are refused on the household large item service, so construction material must never go into that pile.
Exercise equipment is named on none of the Dublin or hauler lists, and the large item service refuses anything over 60 pounds except furniture and appliances.
City cost & eligibility
No published rate covers an exercise machine. If the hauler accepts it, the pickup falls inside the free large item allowance, so confirm the item and any charge with Amador Valley Industries at (925) 479-9545 before the collection.
When & how
Call Amador Valley Industries at (925) 479-9545 at least three days before the intended pickup with the machine type and weight, and include it only if it is accepted.
Get it ready
Break the machine down so the pieces can be handled, keep the load within seven cubic yards, box or bag small parts, and take off any console or battery pack so the electronics are handled as e-waste instead.

A large item collection is limited to a seven cubic yard space, about nine feet long, four feet wide and five feet tall, which the hauler compares to roughly 42 full 35 gallon bags. Small items go in a disposable box or bag, yard clippings and wood are bundled, boxed or bagged and no longer than four feet, and glass is boxed and bundled securely. Dirt, concrete and hazardous materials are refused, and no single item may weigh over 60 pounds except furniture and appliances.
Dublin single family households get three free large item collections per contract year, which runs July 1 to June 30. The collection is booked by calling Amador Valley Industries at (925) 479-9545 at least three days in advance, and material goes to the curb no more than 24 hours before the pickup, without blocking the sidewalk or impeding traffic.
Compost, recycling and landfill each have their own cart
Amador Valley Industries collects all three streams weekly. Compost takes food scraps, food-soiled paper and plant debris; recycling takes clean paper and cardboard, plastic bottles and containers, glass bottles and jars and metal and aluminum cans; and landfill takes what is neither, such as plastic bags and wrappers, polystyrene foam, waxed drink cartons, utensils and straws, diapers and pet waste. Hazardous waste does not belong in any of the containers, and under Senate Bill 1383 every resident and business has to keep food and compostable material out of the landfill stream.
Chemicals, batteries and paint leave through the county
Hazardous waste never goes in a cart. Alameda County residents can drop hazardous waste at any of the four county hazardous waste facilities for free with no appointment, and batteries, paint, electronics, chemicals and motor oil are accepted. Amador Valley Industries also runs a one-day household hazardous waste drop-off event for Dublin residents once a year, leftover paint can go to the Sherwin-Williams or Kelly-Moore stores in Dublin where the can carries a valid PaintCare label, and StopWaste's guide and hotline at 877-786-7927 answer the rest.
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.

Dublin construction and demolition projects that need a container and have diversion requirements to meet.
Cost & conditions

Arrange it
Order the container from Amador Valley Industries, which is the city's exclusive hauler for construction and demolition material, and keep the waste management plan and the diversion records with the project file.
Using a company other than the franchise hauler is a violation of city ordinance, and self-hauling to another facility is only allowed under the Building and Safety Division at 925-833-6620. A demolition also needs the PCBs screening assessment form.

Cost & conditions
The city publishes the two participating stores but no charge, and stores set their own limits, so call ahead about hours and the amount the store can take.
Arrange it
Take the paint to the Sherwin-Williams or Kelly-Moore store in Dublin, which accept used paint that is part of the PaintCare programme with a valid label on the can.
The paint must be part of PaintCare and the can must carry a valid label, and the city advises calling the store first about hours and the amount and type of paint it can accept. The Alameda County hazardous waste facilities also take paint.
