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.

Hayward runs a bulky program under its garbage rate schedule, published as an allotment of two cubic yards two times a year, and the city guide also prints the item-level list under that program: two cubic yards of garbage (about 16 large bags), three pieces of household furniture including carpet, three large appliances, two mattresses, three scrap metal items, two e-waste items and four passenger car tires, all with no fee.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Two cubic yards twice a year are included with residential garbage service. Material beyond the allotment, and any third or later pickup, carry the published overage and trip charges.
When & how
Call Waste Management of Alameda County at (510) 537-5500, the same line the city uses for service and billing, to arrange the bulky pickup.
Get it ready
Set the items out no more than six feet from the curb, or from the edge of the pavement where there is no curb, never in the street, and no earlier than the day before the appointment. Keep the load inside the two cubic yard allotment to avoid the overage charge, and keep the carts clear of the pile; carts go out by 6 a.m. with wheels against the curb and come back in the same day.
Place the cart on the street with the wheels against the curb by 6 a.m. on the collection day and bring it in the same day. Keep it at least three feet from parked cars, mailboxes and other obstacles, keep carts at least two feet apart from each other, and store them on private property and out of view from the street no later than midnight on collection day under the municipal code. Bag all trash and close the lid, because overflow can draw an extra charge or be left behind.
The city rate schedule gives each household two cubic yards of bulky material twice a year. Material beyond that is charged by the cubic yard, and a third or later pickup is charged a trip fee on top of the per cubic yard charge, so measure the pile before it goes out and arrange the pickup in advance through Waste Management.
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.
City of Hayward, with Waste Management of Alameda County
Arrange a bulky pickup
A Hayward household with furniture, a mattress, an appliance or other bulky item that will not fit the weekly cart and fits the two cubic yard allowance.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Two cubic yards twice a year are included with residential garbage service. Material beyond the allotment is charged by the cubic yard, and a third or later pickup carries the additional trip charge.
Arrange it
Call Waste Management of Alameda County at (510) 537-5500, describe the items, and put the load out for the arranged collection.
The allotment is two cubic yards twice a year, an extra pickup is charged a trip fee plus the per cubic yard overage, and the city guide's bulky item list sets the per-appointment limits, so an unusual piece is confirmed when the pickup is booked.
City of Hayward, with Waste Management of Alameda County
Use the annual self-hauling coupon
A household that would rather drive its extra garbage to the transfer station than put it out for a bulky collection.
Cost & conditions
No charge. One self-hauling coupon per household each year, covering up to two cubic yards of garbage, requested from Waste Management of Alameda County at (510) 537-5500.
Arrange it
Request the coupon from Waste Management, then take the load to the Davis Street Resource Recovery Complex at 2615 Davis Street in San Leandro during its open hours.
One coupon a year, two cubic yards of garbage only, and the station is closed Sundays. The rate sheet linked by the city governs anything beyond the coupon.
Garbage, which is what the city self-hauling coupon covers, and the city points hauling questions about larger loads to the same site and its published rate sheet.
The city coupon covers up to two cubic yards of garbage once a year per household, and anything beyond that follows the station's own rate sheet. Hayward carts are not part of a trip to the station, and hazardous material still goes to the county facility rather than here.
Open on weekdays from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., closed Sunday.
The self-hauling coupon covers the first two cubic yards of garbage once a year, and the station publishes its own rate sheet for anything beyond that, so confirm the charge for a larger or different load with the station at (510) 638-2303.
