City collection A refrigerator and a freezer are both on the county bulky pickup list with the same two item and 150 pound limit, and the hauler flyer's refusal list names commercial refrigerators only.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Fremont collects through Republic Services, and the city's main large item route is an on-call bulky goods pickup: two free collections a year for a residence with individual curbside garbage service, scheduled at least two weeks ahead. The load goes in a 6 foot by 6 foot by 6 foot area in the street next to the curb, carries no more than two appliances or large items, and nothing in it may exceed 150 pounds. Mattresses have a second route that is unusual for a city this size, because up to four mattresses or box springs can be dropped off free at the Fremont Recycling and Transfer Station.
Trash, recycling and organic waste are collected in carts by Republic Services, the hauler the city lists for starting and stopping service, reporting missed and bulky item pickups and reporting cart issues. Recycling and organics carts of any size are included in the trash cart rate.
City cost & eligibility
From $47.89 for single family monthly rate for the smallest trash cart from the Fremont city rates effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2027, which include recycling and organics cart service of any size. A single family residence in Fremont with curbside cart service. Larger trash carts cost more, and multi-family and commercial properties are billed on separate schedules.
When & how
Carts are collected once a week on the address service day. A holiday that falls on the collection day delays the pickup by one day, and the hauler publishes the holiday schedule and community newsletter.
Get it ready
Put recyclables in loose, not in plastic bags, quick rinse containers free of food, and keep plastic bags, bubble wrap, Styrofoam and diapers out of the recycling cart. Food scraps and food soiled paper go in the organics cart with no plastic bags, and yard waste goes there too, but not palm fronds, soil, rocks or concrete.
A Fremont residence with individual curbside garbage service gets two free on-call bulky goods pickups each year. The city names large appliances, microwave ovens, furniture, televisions, stereos and computers as collected items, and recyclable items such as computers and televisions are salvaged as part of the service.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Two free bulky goods collections per year for a Fremont residence with individual curbside garbage service. Material that is larger than the set-out area, an extra collection and debris box service are charged separately.
When & how
Call Republic Services at 510-657-3500 to book an appointment at least two weeks before the collection date. Put the items out no more than 24 hours ahead and by 5:45 a.m. on the collection day.
Get it ready
Group the items in one 6 foot by 6 foot by 6 foot area in the street next to the curb, and keep them off the sidewalk, driveway and private property. Household trash, recyclables, organics, electronic waste and household batteries bagged in a clear sealed bag can go out with the same collection, but loose small items cannot, and nothing may exceed 150 pounds. No household hazardous material and no construction or demolition debris is accepted.

When & how

Get it ready
Keep the piece inside the 6 foot by 6 foot by 6 foot area and off the sidewalk, driveway and private property, and check the weight before the appointment because anything over 150 pounds is refused. Remove cushions and loose parts, and keep the piece out of the carts.
Mattresses and box springs go out with a bulky goods pickup, and the county guide adds a free drop-off route: up to four mattresses or box springs can be taken to the Fremont Recycling and Transfer Station at 41149 Boyce Road at no charge.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Mattresses and box springs are collected inside the two free bulky goods pickups, and up to four mattresses or box springs are accepted free at the Fremont Recycling and Transfer Station at 41149 Boyce Road. A mattress heavier than 150 pounds cannot go in the bulky collection.
When & how
Book a bulky appointment through Republic Services at 510-657-3500 at least two weeks ahead, or take up to four mattresses or box springs to the transfer station at 41149 Boyce Road, which is open to the public Monday through Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and bag or wrap it so it stays intact, and keep it out of the carts and off the sidewalk. Take the frame or base off before a drop-off, and put the mattress with the rest of the bulky load inside the set-out area if it goes out for collection.
Large appliances are named in the city's bulky goods list, and the county bulky pickup list attaches the limit directly to dishwashers, freezers, major household appliances, stoves, ovens, washers and dryers: up to two appliances or large items per collection, none heavier than 150 pounds.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Appliances are collected inside the two free bulky goods pickups for a residence with individual curbside garbage service, limited to two appliances or large items per collection and 150 pounds per item. Extra collections and material beyond the set-out area are charged.
When & how
Call Republic Services at 510-657-3500 at least two weeks before the wanted collection date, then set the appliance out in the street next to the curb no more than 24 hours early and by 5:45 a.m. on the collection day.
Get it ready
Empty the appliance, tape or strap the doors closed, and remove cords that could catch during handling. Two appliances is the limit for one collection, so a washer and dryer pair uses the whole allowance, and a third unit has to wait for the next pickup or a paid extra collection.
A refrigerator and a freezer are both on the county bulky pickup list with the same two item and 150 pound limit, and the hauler flyer's refusal list names commercial refrigerators only. A residential cooling appliance therefore travels with a bulky collection and does not need to be guessed from the general appliance rule.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. A residential refrigerator or freezer is collected inside the two free bulky goods pickups, within the limit of two appliances or large items per collection and 150 pounds per item. A commercial refrigerator is refused.
When & how
Book through Republic Services at 510-657-3500 at least two weeks ahead and set the unit out by 5:45 a.m. on the collection day, no more than 24 hours before.
Get it ready
Empty the unit, remove the food, and strap the doors closed so nothing can be entered or swing open. Keep the unit upright where the vehicle or set-out position allows it, and leave the refrigerant work to the hauler rather than venting anything before the collection.
Electronic waste is accepted two ways. It is listed among the bulky goods materials that can go out with the same collection, and broken electronics, computers, monitors and cell phones sit on the county bulky pickup list, while the Fremont household hazardous waste facility inside the transfer station also takes electronic waste free for Alameda County residents.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Electronics go out inside the two free bulky goods pickups and recyclable items are salvaged as part of the service. Electronic waste is also accepted free at the Fremont household hazardous waste facility at 41149 Boyce Road for an Alameda County resident.
When & how
Include the devices in a bulky goods appointment booked through Republic Services at 510-657-3500 at least two weeks ahead, or take them to the household hazardous waste facility inside the transfer station at 41149 Boyce Road, open Wednesday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Get it ready
Back up and wipe personal data from a computer, phone or drive before it leaves the house, and keep electronics out of the recycling and organics carts. Bring an identification showing an Alameda County address to the hazardous waste facility, stay in the vehicle, and load the devices into the trunk or cargo area before arrival.
A television goes out with a bulky goods collection, where the city states that recyclable items such as televisions are salvaged as part of the service, and broken televisions also appear on the county bulky pickup list. Electronic waste is additionally accepted at the Fremont household hazardous waste facility.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. A television is collected inside the two free bulky goods pickups and is salvaged as part of the service, within the two appliance or large item limit and the 150 pound per item limit. It is also accepted free as electronic waste at the Fremont household hazardous waste facility for an Alameda County resident.
When & how
Include the set in a bulky goods appointment booked at least two weeks ahead through Republic Services at 510-657-3500, or take it to the household hazardous waste facility at 41149 Boyce Road on Wednesday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. or Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Get it ready
Keep the television out of the carts, protect the screen so it does not break in the set-out area, and remove cables, stands and remote controls that are not part of the unit. Wipe any stored data from a smart set, and bring identification to the hazardous waste facility.
Construction and demolition debris is refused in the bulky goods collection, along with concrete, dirt and roofing, so a renovation load never goes to the curb. The city publishes exactly two routes instead: a debris box from Republic Services for all the material, or the contractor hauling the debris in its own vehicle to an approved recycling facility.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no debris box price. The hauler rents boxes from 6 cubic yards to 40 cubic yards and charges for the box and for extra material, so confirm the container size, the price and the accepted material with Republic Services at 510-657-3500 before ordering.
When & how
Order the debris box before the work starts, or have the contractor schedule the haul to an approved recycling facility. Keep the load out of the bulky set-out area on collection day.
Get it ready
Keep construction debris, concrete, dirt and roofing out of the bulky pile and the carts, because the hauler refuses them there. Separate clean concrete, asphalt, brick, tile and clean soil from mixed debris, and keep the documentation, receipts and waste tracking records that a permitted Fremont construction project requires for its recycling reporting.
Non-working exercise equipment appears on the county bulky pickup list for Fremont, but neither the city FAQ nor the hauler flyer names it. The item therefore depends on the same limits as everything else in a bulky load, and the packet asks the reader to confirm the machine before setting it out.
City cost & eligibility
No separate price is published for exercise equipment. It would be collected inside the two free annual bulky goods pickups if the hauler accepts it, so call Republic Services at 510-657-3500 to confirm the machine and its weight, since a bulky item over 150 pounds is refused.
When & how
Call Republic Services at 510-657-3500 at least two weeks before the appointment date, confirm the machine, then set it out by 5:45 a.m. on the collection day inside the 6 foot by 6 foot by 6 foot area.
Get it ready
Take off loose weights, straps and accessories and drain anything holding water or oil, so the piece stays inside the 150 pound per item limit and inside the set-out area. Keep the machine out of the carts and off the sidewalk while the appointment is confirmed.
Group everything in one 6 foot by 6 foot by 6 foot area in the street next to the curb and keep it off the sidewalk, driveway and private property. The pile can go out no more than 24 hours before the appointment and has to be out by 5:45 a.m. on the collection day. Bag, box or bundle the small material, since loose items are refused, and keep the load to two appliances or large items with nothing over 150 pounds.
Yard trimmings, plant debris and yard waste go out with the bulky collection, with trimmings no larger than 12 inches in diameter and 4 feet in length, bagged, boxed or tied in bundles. Palm fronds cannot be composted or chipped, so the city runs a separate pilot: an additional bulky pickup that does not count against the two annual collections, bundled and no larger than 6 feet by 6 feet by 6 feet and not out earlier than the night before, or a free self-haul to the transfer station under the City of Fremont Palm Frond Program with proof of residency. A load mixed with trash is charged the posted rates.
Request a debris box from Republic Services for all the material, or have the contractor haul it in its own vehicle to an approved recycling facility. Debris boxes come in sizes from 6 cubic yards to 40 cubic yards, and the hauler charges for the box and for material beyond the set-out allowance. A permitted project also has to keep the documentation, receipts and waste tracking records the city's construction recycling requirements call for.
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.
