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.

A single-family household can book up to three Bulky Waste Pickup appointments a calendar year, with up to five cubic yards of material in each appointment, collected from the edge of the street.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Three bulky waste appointments a calendar year are included for a single-family residence whose solid waste account is current. The City's rate table states the residential collection rate already includes bulky waste service and household hazardous waste collection, and apartment residents and businesses are told to call the office for their options.
When & how
Book online or at 916-461-6730. Materials go out by 6 a.m. on the appointment day and no earlier than 24 hours before it, because an earlier pile is subject to a code violation. Yard waste and wood are kept separate from metals and appliances because separate vehicles collect them, and a cancellation has to reach the office by 1 p.m. the business day before the appointment.
Get it ready
Put the pile on the edge of the street rather than on the property, keep it out of the regular cans, make sure glass is visible to the driver as it approaches, and expect the whole pile to be disposed of, so do not set out anything in a container or under a tarp that has to be kept. No alley pickups are made.
Furniture is named in the acceptable bulky waste list, so a couch, sofa or table goes out on a booked appointment inside the five cubic yard allowance rather than into a can.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Furniture goes out on one of the three bulky waste appointments included each calendar year for a single-family residence with a current solid waste account.
When & how
Book the appointment at 916-461-6730 or online, then set the piece on the edge of the street by 6 a.m. on the appointment day and no earlier than 24 hours before it.
Get it ready
Keep the piece inside the five cubic yard allowance for the appointment, keep it clear of the regular cans, and keep it off a surface or in a container that has to be returned, because every item on the pile is disposed of.
Mattresses are named in the acceptable bulky waste list, and a Sacramento County site takes mattresses and box springs from residents at no charge as a free drop off item.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. A mattress goes out on one of the three bulky waste appointments included each calendar year, or it can be dropped at Kiefer Landfill or the North Area Recovery Station under the county free residential drop off program when the load contains only free items.
When & how
Book the bulky appointment at 916-461-6730, or drive the mattress directly to a county site during its open hours. County facilities ask that the arrival be at least 15 minutes before closing.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress out of the regular cans and inside the five cubic yard allowance if it goes on a bulky pile. A self hauler has to keep the load covered or secured on the road, and the county free drop off only applies when the load contains free items alone.
Metals and appliances including microwaves are on the acceptable bulky waste list, a lawnmower is accepted with the gas and oil removed, and a county site takes up to two large appliances a day from residents at no charge.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. An appliance goes out on one of the three bulky waste appointments included each calendar year, and the county free residential drop off takes up to two large appliances a day. A third appliance on the same day is charged 35.00 each, and the county weighs and charges loads that include other material.
When & how
Book the bulky appointment at 916-461-6730, or take the appliance to a county site during opening hours. County facilities ask for arrival at least 15 minutes before closing.
Get it ready
Remove gas and oil from a lawnmower and keep a propane tank off a barbecue before either goes on a pile. Empty the appliance and keep it out of the regular cans. Any battery built into an item has to go to an electronic waste program instead of to a county tipping area.
Concrete, bricks, rocks, tile, dirt, sand, sod and composite roofing are refused in the bulky waste program, so a project load moves through a rented city dumpster or a county site.
City cost & eligibility
The bulky waste program refuses construction material, and a county tipping area charges a weighed load when it contains refuse rather than only free items. The city rents a three cubic yard temporary dumpster at 115.00 including disposal, and seven to forty cubic yard debris boxes at 611.00 plus a pass-through disposal charge that is billed by the ton.
When & how
Order the dumpster before the work starts so debris never lands in a regular can or on a bulky pile. The rental period is seven days for a three cubic yard dumpster and fourteen days for a larger debris box, and prohibited material includes liquids, hot ashes, coal, chemically treated wood, appliances, tires, tree stumps over 12 inches and hazardous waste.
Get it ready
Keep concrete, rock, sod, asphalt, brick, composition shingle roofing and landscaping bark out of the three to six cubic yard containers, and ask about the seven and ten cubic yard boxes that take some of those materials under specific guidelines. Keep the load under ten tons, do not fill above the edge of the container, and keep the weight tickets and diversion records a covered project has to file.
A bulky waste pile only goes out for a booked appointment, and it goes on the edge of the street rather than on the property. It has to be out by 6 a.m. on the appointment day and not before the 24 hour mark, because an earlier pile is subject to a code violation. No alley pickups are made.
Keep the streams apart at the curb and in the pile
Food scraps and food-soiled paper go into the green organics can inside a clear plastic or compostable bag, and recyclables go loose in the blue can. On a bulky pile, yard waste and wood stay separate from metals and appliances because different vehicles collect each group, so one visit may not clear the whole pile.
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 single-family household with furniture, a mattress, an appliance, yard waste, metal, a toilet, glass or up to five tires to clear.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Three appointments a calendar year, with up to five cubic yards per appointment, are included for a single-family residence whose solid waste account is current.
Arrange it
Book online or call 916-461-6730, put the pile on the edge of the street by 6 a.m. on the appointment day, and separate yard waste and wood from metals and appliances.
Cardboard, construction material, dirt and sod, liquids, heavy metal items, household hazardous waste and electronic waste are refused, and anything set out before the 24 hour mark can be treated as a code violation.
Household waste, recyclables and hard to handle material from the public, businesses and private haulers. Free to residents when the load contains only free items: mattresses and box springs, up to two large appliances a day, electronic waste including televisions, monitors, computers, printers and stereos, up to four passenger vehicle or light truck tires with rims, clean metals eight feet or shorter, and clean inerts such as brick, concrete without rebar up to 36 inches, asphalt, tile, rocks and stucco.
Customers do not have to be Sacramento County residents, but every load has to be covered or secured. Fluids and removable batteries come out first, and anything with a built-in battery goes to an electronic waste program only. Household hazardous waste is limited to 15 gallons or 125 pounds a month, treated wood is taken at Kiefer only, green waste and clean wood have to be separated and unbagged, and the third large appliance in a day is charged along with passenger tires from the fifth on. Arrive at least 15 minutes before closing, and expect the facility to close early if the daily vehicle limit is reached.
Monday to Friday 6:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Saturday and Sunday 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Phone 916-875-5555.
From $10 for a car, station wagon or small SUV load at the scale house. Effective January 1, 2026, small vans and large SUVs are $20.00, pickup trucks $35.00 and large vans $45.00, with $25.00 added for an uncovered or unsecured load. Weighed loads start at a $45.00 minimum and run $61.35 per ton for normal refuse, $115.65 per ton for green waste and clean wood, $144.90 per ton for hard to handle bulky material and $28.45 per ton for mixed inerts. Cash, credit cards and checks are accepted.
Household waste, some recyclable material and some hard to handle material from the public, businesses and private haulers, with a household hazardous waste facility on site that keeps different hours. The county free residential drop off list applies here as well, apart from the clean inerts that only Kiefer takes.
Loads have to be covered or secured and the tarp stays on until the tipping area to prevent littering. Green waste and clean wood have to be separated from other material and dropped in the green waste area, unbagged and without treated, painted or stained wood, because only Kiefer accepts treated wood. Material with a built-in battery goes to an electronic waste program, and fluids and removable batteries come out before the load arrives.
Monday to Friday 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday and Sunday 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., closed Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day. Phone 916-875-5555.
The North Area Recovery Station publishes its own fee schedule and takes cash, credit cards or checks at the scale house, so confirm the current charge for the load before hauling. A load that contains only free items is free to residents.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Folsom.
How much does bulk junk removal cost in Folsom?+
A trash bag is $59 as the first item and $10 additional. A filled household box is $59 as the first item. Add your actual items and quantities to see the combined price before booking. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; any applicable sales tax is shown before payment.
Can you pick up bags of junk today?+
Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the booked bags and boxes outside and accessible according to your confirmation. You receive pickup updates and completion photos; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.
Do I count every object inside a bag or box?+
No. Count the filled bags or boxes using the matching choice. Books and media go in Filled household box; clothes, bedding and shoes go in Bag of clothes & bedding; packed toys have a Box of toys choice. Empty cardboard is separate, with individual empty boxes and bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Heavy, oversized or unusual contents need a photo review before booking.
Can you pick up a small loose pile of household junk?+
Yes. Estimate how many trash bags the small household pile would fill, and bag or box as much as possible. Select furniture and other larger items separately. There is no extra charge just because the pile is loose. Send a photo first if the count or contents are unclear. A household Dumpster Bag choice does not accept construction debris.
Can I book bags, boxes and furniture together?+
Yes. Select the bags and boxes, then add each larger item using its own catalog choice. The booking shows one combined price for the selected items. Move everything to an accessible outdoor spot before pickup; indoor carrying and sorting are not included. Keep anything you want to retain apart from the booked items and identify what goes in your photos and notes.
How many bulky waste appointments can I get?+
A single-family residence can book up to three bulky waste appointments each calendar year, with up to five cubic yards of material per appointment. Book online or call 916-461-6730, and remember the household account has to be current for the collection to run.Official guidance
What can go in a bulky waste pile?+
Yard waste and wood, furniture and mattresses, metals and appliances including microwaves, metal pipe in six foot lengths or shorter, lawnmowers with the gas and oil removed, barbecues without a propane tank, tires up to 40 inches in diameter and up to five of them, toilets, glass windows and doors, a spa cut into quarters, and styrofoam.Official guidance
What is refused in the bulky waste program?+
Cardboard is no longer taken. The program also refuses auto parts and fluids, liquids, concrete, bricks, rocks and tile, dirt, sand and sod, woodchips and bark, tree stumps, cement-filled tires, combustibles and flammables, commercial or household garbage, composite roofing, heavy metal items such as an engine block, anything longer than six feet, household hazardous waste and electronic waste.Official guidance
How do I set out a bulky waste pile?+
The pile goes on the edge of the street, not on the property, and it has to be out by 6 a.m. on the appointment day. Nothing goes out earlier than 24 hours before the appointment, the material has to stay out of the regular cans and cardboard boxes, and glass should be positioned where the driver can see it from the street.Official guidance
What happens if I cannot keep my appointment?+
Call the division and cancel by 1 p.m. the business day before the appointment, or the missed appointment counts as one of the three for the year. The city also notes the program is popular, so a requested pickup date may be later than the day the appointment is booked.Official guidance
Will Folsom pick up a couch from the curb?+
Yes, on a booked bulky waste appointment. Furniture is named in the acceptable list, so a couch or sofa is collected from the edge of the street as long as the appointment has been scheduled and the piece fits inside the five cubic yard allowance for that appointment.Official guidance
Do furniture and yard waste go out in one pile?+
Keep them apart. The city asks residents to separate yard waste and wood from metals, appliances and miscellaneous materials because different vehicles collect each group, so the pile may not be cleared in a single visit.Official guidance
Will a mattress count against my bulky appointment?+
A mattress is named in the acceptable bulky waste list, so it goes out on a booked appointment and counts toward the five cubic yards allowed for that appointment. Three appointments a calendar year are included for a single-family residence.Official guidance
Is there a free place to drop a mattress off?+
Yes. Sacramento County lists mattresses and box springs among the free residential drop off items at Kiefer Landfill and the North Area Recovery Station. The whole load has to contain only free items for the drop off to be free, and the load has to be covered or secured on the road.Official guidance
Will Folsom take a refrigerator or a washer?+
Yes. Metals and appliances including microwaves are named in the acceptable bulky waste list, so a refrigerator, washer, dryer, stove or dishwasher goes out on a booked appointment inside the five cubic yard allowance. A county site also takes up to two large appliances a day from residents at no charge.Official guidance
What about a lawnmower or a barbecue?+
Both are on the accepted list with conditions. A lawnmower has to have its gas and oil drained before it goes out, and a barbecue has to be set out without a propane tank. Neither belongs in a regular can.Official guidance
How do I clear construction debris in Folsom?+
Not through a bulky waste appointment, because concrete, bricks, rocks, tile, dirt, sand, sod and composite roofing are on the refused list. The city rents temporary dumpsters for construction and demolition material, including concrete, dirt, sheetrock and mixed inerts, and a county tipping area accepts loads that are covered and secured.Official guidance
Does my project need a waste management plan?+
Covered projects do. State law requires 65 percent of the construction and demolition debris by weight to be recycled or reused on any new residential construction, permitted residential work that increases conditioned space, any permitted demolition, non-residential new construction or additions of 1,000 square feet or more, larger tenant improvements and alterations, and any permitted demolition. The waste management plan goes to Community Development when permits are pulled.Official guidance
Who handles waste and recycling in Folsom?+
The City of Folsom runs its own Waste and Recycling Division rather than franchising to a private hauler. Customer service is at 50 Natoma Street, 916-461-6730, solidwaste@folsom.ca.us, Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and billing and start or stop service is 916-461-6101.Official guidance
What does the residential rate cover?+
The city's rate table states that the residential collection rates include the garbage, recycling and organics cans along with household hazardous waste collection and bulky waste service, and it lists a separate SB 1383 charge for all residential accounts. The rate depends on the garbage can size, with low-income and mobile home community rates set lower, and billing at 916-461-6101 confirms the total on the account.Official guidance
Do apartments and businesses get the same bulky service?+
The bulky waste appointment allowance is written for single-family residential customers, and the city tells apartment residents and business locations to call the office at 916-461-6730 for their options. Household hazardous waste pickups are open to multi-family residential customers as well as single-family, and apartment communities have green organics bins near the garbage dumpsters.Official guidance
How does the household hazardous waste pickup work?+
Book a Door 2 Door pickup online or at 916-461-6730 for a Monday, Wednesday or Friday, and leave the material at the bottom of the driveway rather than next to the house, on the sidewalk, in the parkway or in the street. Per pickup limits are five gallons of antifreeze, five gallons of used motor oil, ten one-gallon cans and two five-gallon pails of paint, with other household hazardous waste not over five gallons or 50 pounds plus 125 pounds of universal waste.Official guidance
Where does cardboard go now?+
Cardboard is no longer accepted in the bulky waste program. Flatten clean cardboard and take it to one of the community recycling bins, which the city lists at the Andy Morin Sports Complex with 24 hour access and at Folsom City Hall, Folsom Middle School and the Folsom Historic District. Only recyclable material goes in those bins and everything else is prohibited.Official guidance
Will Folsom take tires with bulky waste?+
Yes, up to five tires per bulky waste appointment, as long as each one is 40 inches in diameter or smaller. A cement-filled tire is refused, and Sacramento County also takes up to four passenger vehicle or light truck tires with rims per day from residents at no charge.Official guidance
