City collection A couch, sofa, table or bed frame is the one furniture item allowed in an on-call cleanup, provided the piece weighs less than 150 pounds and the household has cleanups left in its rolling 12-month period. The pile sits in the street against the curb on the regular service day, and the hauler collects large items still in good condition through its reuse network instead of the waste stream. No charge. Included with the required Livermore Sanitation residential subscription for one furniture item under 150 pounds in each of three cleanups in a rolling 12-month period, with a paid rate applying once those cleanups are used.
City collection A mattress or box spring counts as the one furniture item in an on-call cleanup, and the same piece can instead go to the mattress recycling yard on Patterson Pass Road, which the county directory lists as a mattress program site with free resident drop-off. The landfill gate also takes a mattress and box spring as a priced set. No charge. Included with the required residential subscription as the one furniture item under 150 pounds in each of three cleanups in a rolling 12-month period, or free to residents at the mattress recycling yard during its published drop-off window.
City collection One appliance can ride each on-call cleanup, with stoves, refrigerators, dishwashers, microwaves, washers, dryers and hot water heaters named on the hauler's list. A refrigerator or freezer goes out only with its doors removed or taped shut, oil, fuel and Freon units carry a separate priced pickup once the cleanups are used, and the county hazardous waste facilities refuse large appliances entirely. No charge. Included with the required residential subscription for one appliance in each of three cleanups in a rolling 12-month period. A major appliance pickup beyond those cleanups is sold as a priced on-call pickup, and the household books it through the hauler.
City collection Each on-call cleanup takes up to 3 cubic yards of contained household waste, no larger than 9 feet long, 3 feet wide and 3 feet high, in one pile on the street. Small, loose items have to be boxed, bagged or bundled, glass has to be contained, and a single item over 75 pounds is refused unless it is the one appliance or the one allowed furniture piece. No charge. Included with the required residential subscription for up to 3 cubic yards of contained household waste in each of three cleanups in a rolling 12-month period. Once those cleanups are used, the same service is sold by the item or the pile at the published on-call pickup rates.
The highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Livermore requires every household and business to subscribe to collection with the franchised hauler, and the subscription carries three on-call cleanups in any rolling 12-month period. Each cleanup takes one appliance or one e-waste item, one furniture piece under 150 pounds such as a sofa, mattress and box spring, table or bed frame, and up to 3 cubic yards of contained household waste that goes out on the regular service day. Once those three are used, the hauler sells the same service by the item, and construction debris never rides a curb pile at all, because it goes into a debris box or to the Vasco Road Landfill. Household chemicals, batteries, paint and electronics have their own free year-round drop-off at the Alameda County facility on La Ribera Street, and a mattress can go free to the Livermore mattress recycling yard on a Saturday morning.
A couch, sofa, table or bed frame is the one furniture item allowed in an on-call cleanup, provided the piece weighs less than 150 pounds and the household has cleanups left in its rolling 12-month period. The pile sits in the street against the curb on the regular service day, and the hauler collects large items still in good condition through its reuse network instead of the waste stream.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included with the required Livermore Sanitation residential subscription for one furniture item under 150 pounds in each of three cleanups in a rolling 12-month period, with a paid rate applying once those cleanups are used.
When & how
Call Livermore Sanitation at 925-449-7300 before the regular service day to book the cleanup, which then happens on that service day. Materials go in the street against the curb by 6 a.m. and at least 3 feet away from the carts.
Get it ready
Keep the piece off the sidewalk and driveway, and leave the pile reachable, because anything two people cannot handle stays in place. Loose parts have to be contained or bundled, and glass should be contained before it goes out.
A mattress or box spring counts as the one furniture item in an on-call cleanup, and the same piece can instead go to the mattress recycling yard on Patterson Pass Road, which the county directory lists as a mattress program site with free resident drop-off. The landfill gate also takes a mattress and box spring as a priced set.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included with the required residential subscription as the one furniture item under 150 pounds in each of three cleanups in a rolling 12-month period, or free to residents at the mattress recycling yard during its published drop-off window.
When & how
A cleanup goes out on the regular service day after booking at 925-449-7300. The mattress yard records weekday hours of 7:30 to 4 and residential drop-off on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. around the back, and the county directory asks households to call ahead to confirm.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry, lay it flat on the pile rather than leaning it against a vehicle, and send the mattress with its box spring from the curb. At the yard, follow the residential drop-off direction and leave commercial quantities to the appointment process.
One appliance can ride each on-call cleanup, with stoves, refrigerators, dishwashers, microwaves, washers, dryers and hot water heaters named on the hauler's list. A refrigerator or freezer goes out only with its doors removed or taped shut, oil, fuel and Freon units carry a separate priced pickup once the cleanups are used, and the county hazardous waste facilities refuse large appliances entirely.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included with the required residential subscription for one appliance in each of three cleanups in a rolling 12-month period. A major appliance pickup beyond those cleanups is sold as a priced on-call pickup, and the household books it through the hauler.
When & how
Book the cleanup at 925-449-7300 before the regular service day, with the appliance in the street against the curb by 6 a.m. on that day and at least 3 feet from the carts. A paid pickup is scheduled the same way once the free cleanups are used.
Get it ready
Empty and defrost the unit, remove or tape the doors shut on a refrigerator or freezer, and keep the appliance out of the general pile so the crew can see what it is collecting. Anything holding oil, fuel or Freon is treated as a major appliance and priced accordingly.
One e-waste item can ride each on-call cleanup, and the hauler names computer monitors, fax machines, printers, DVD players, VCRs and televisions among the examples. Electronics also go free of charge to the county hazardous waste facility in Livermore, which takes computers, monitors, televisions and microwaves, and the landfill gate prices a television or monitor per unit.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included with the required residential subscription for one e-waste item in each of three cleanups in a rolling 12-month period, and free at the Alameda County hazardous waste facility for county residents inside the per-visit limits. A paid e-waste pickup applies beyond the free cleanups.
When & how
The hazardous waste facility on La Ribera Street opens Thursday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., closed Sunday through Wednesday and on major holidays. A cleanup goes out on the regular service day after a booking.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data before handover, keep the remote, cables and power supply with the device, and stay in the vehicle at the county facility, which requires identification showing an Alameda County address and a container of no more than 5 gallons or 50 pounds.
Construction and demolition debris is on the hauler's prohibited list for the on-call cleanup, along with dirt, rock, brick and cement, and the county hazardous waste facilities refuse construction material too. A project orders a debris box from the franchise hauler instead, and a self-haul load goes to the Vasco Road Landfill at the published construction rates.
City cost & eligibility
The cleanup program does not collect construction debris and does not publish a rate for it. A debris box is quoted by the hauler's sales team after the container size is chosen, and a load driven to the landfill gate is charged at the published construction rate. Confirm the container price or the gate rate before the material leaves the site.
When & how
A debris box is delivered and collected on a date arranged with the hauler. The Vasco Road Landfill gate is open Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m., closed Sunday, with a shortened schedule on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve.
Get it ready
Separate clean concrete, brick, asphalt, drywall, wood and soil from mixed debris, because the landfill publishes lower rates for clean separated material and adds a hard to handle charge when a load needs special handling. Batteries, chemicals, electronics and mattresses never go in a debris box.
Exercise equipment is named on the prohibited list for the no-charge on-call cleanup, so a treadmill cannot go out with those three cleanups, but the franchise rate exhibit prices used exercise equipment as a bulky item on a paid on-call pickup. A household that wants the machine collected pays the bulky item rate for the visit.
City cost & eligibility
From $67.72 per pickup for a bulky item such as used exercise equipment in the Livermore Sanitation bulky item and e-waste on-call pickup rates effective July 1, 2026. Single-family, multi-family, commercial and government customers of the franchised hauler. The three no-charge cleanups in a rolling 12-month period exclude exercise equipment.
When & how
Book the paid pickup with Livermore Sanitation at 925-449-7300, and it runs on the same appointment system as the cleanup service rather than on a walk-up basis.
Get it ready
Take the machine down only as far as two people can handle it, remove the console and any battery so the electronics are handled separately, and confirm the pickup price by item when the visit is booked, because the bulky item rate prices one item per pickup.
Each on-call cleanup takes up to 3 cubic yards of contained household waste, no larger than 9 feet long, 3 feet wide and 3 feet high, in one pile on the street. Small, loose items have to be boxed, bagged or bundled, glass has to be contained, and a single item over 75 pounds is refused unless it is the one appliance or the one allowed furniture piece.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included with the required residential subscription for up to 3 cubic yards of contained household waste in each of three cleanups in a rolling 12-month period. Once those cleanups are used, the same service is sold by the item or the pile at the published on-call pickup rates.
When & how
The pile goes out in the street against the curb by 6 a.m. on the scheduled service day, at least 3 feet away from the carts, and never on the sidewalk or the driveway. Booking happens in advance at 925-449-7300.
Get it ready
Contain, box or bundle loose material and contain glass before the material goes out, bundle and tie yard trimmings and wood waste, and cut any piece longer than 5 feet. Nothing liquid, hazardous, infectious, treated or automotive belongs in the pile, and tires, car parts and motorcycle parts stay out entirely.
Book the cleanup in advance and have it at the curb by 6 a.m.
On-call cleanups are collected by appointment on the regular service day, and the request has to reach Livermore Sanitation before that day. The material goes in the street against the curb by 6 a.m. on the scheduled date, at least 3 feet away from the carts, and never on the sidewalk or the driveway.
The waste allowance is 3 cubic yards, no larger than 9 feet long, 3 feet wide and 3 feet high, and it has to sit in one pile. Contain, box or bundle small and loose items, put glass in something solid, bundle and tie yard trimmings and wood waste, and cut pieces that run longer than 5 feet so the pile can be lifted safely.
Liquids, loose or unbundled material, items longer than 5 feet, construction and demolition debris, dirt, rock, brick, cement, automotive batteries and fluids, hazardous or infectious waste such as pesticides and items holding oil, gas or Freon, treated wood waste, exercise equipment, car parts, motorcycle parts and tires are all refused. A single item over 75 pounds is also refused unless it is the one allowed appliance or the one allowed furniture piece.
Batteries, phones and motor oil have their own curb routine
Household batteries go in a clear zipper bag placed on top of the blue recycling cart on collection day, with a piece of tape over the positive terminal, and cell phones go in a separate bag so they never travel with the batteries. Motor oil goes in a sealed one gallon jug beside the recycling cart and not inside it, and the hauler collects two jugs per household each week with free replacement jugs and filter bags.
The Vasco Road Landfill weighs and charges every load, adds an environmental fee on every load plus a fuel recovery fee, applies a one unit minimum, and charges extra for an uncovered residential load and for a hard to handle load that needs special handling. Clean separated concrete, brick, asphalt, drywall, wood and soil are charged at lower published rates than mixed debris.
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 an appliance, a television, a bulky item or a load of junk that has already used its three no-charge cleanups for the year.
Cost & conditions
From $27.08 per pickup for an e-waste item in the Livermore Sanitation bulky item and e-waste on-call pickup rates effective July 1, 2026, with bulky items and major appliances priced higher on the same schedule.

Arrange it
Call Livermore Sanitation at 925-449-7300 to price the item and schedule the pickup once the free cleanups are used.
The price depends on the item: e-waste is priced lowest, household bulky items such as furniture, beds, box springs, bicycles and used exercise equipment sit in the middle, and major appliances holding oil, fuel or Freon are priced highest. The same material exclusions as the no-charge program still apply.
A household or contractor with concrete, brick, wood, roofing material or mixed remodeling debris that no cleanup or cart will take.
Cost & conditions
The hauler quotes roll-off container pricing after the container size is chosen and the material is known, so confirm the size, the included weight and the current charge with the sales team before ordering.
Arrange it
Call Livermore Sanitation at 925-449-7300 to order the container, have it delivered to the project address, and arrange the collection once the box is filled.

A household with a mattress or box spring that has already used its cleanups, or that has more than one to dispose of.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Free drop-off for residents at the mattress program site on Patterson Pass Road, including an incentive payment for up to five units per vehicle per day on Saturdays.
Arrange it

A household with furniture or other large items that are still in good condition and could go to another home.

Arrange it
List or claim the item through the hauler account or the county reuse directory, or donate directly to a charity such as Goodwill or St. Vincent de Paul.
The reuse route only takes items in good condition that another household can use, so a torn couch or a stained mattress still goes to a cleanup or a recycling drop-off instead.
