City collection Lodi has no standing bulky item pickup, so a couch leaves on one of the two annual programs: the free curbside cleanup, which takes the equivalent of three 64 gallon carts of additional refuse, or the dollar dump day, where a voucher covers up to two cubic yards for a dollar. No charge. The curbside cleanup is free to Lodi residents and takes additional refuse up to the equivalent of three 64 gallon carts. The separate dollar dump day is priced per load instead and needs the voucher the city mails to single family customers before the event.
City collection No city page names a mattress, and there is no furniture acceptance outside the two annual cleanup programs, so the reliable routes are the state mattress program: the retailer take back that comes with a new delivery and the participating free drop off locations. The city publishes no mattress price and no standing mattress route. A mattress that fits the annual programs would follow their rules, and a unit taken through the state mattress program costs nothing, so confirm with Waste Management at (209) 369-8274 or use a participating drop off location before the unit leaves the house.
City collection Refrigerators and air conditioners that still contain CFCs are excluded from both of the city's large item programs, and no city page publishes the route for one, so the unit has to be confirmed before it moves. The city publishes no charge for a cooling appliance and explicitly refuses units that still hold CFCs at the curbside cleanup and the dollar dump day. Confirm the unit, the refrigerant handling and any charge with Waste Management at (209) 369-8274, or use a licensed appliance recycler.
City collection Lodi clears large household material on two annual programs rather than a weekly route: a free curbside cleanup that takes the equivalent of three 64 gallon carts of additional refuse, and a dollar dump day where a voucher covers up to two cubic yards for a dollar. No charge. The curbside cleanup is free to Lodi residents and accepts additional refuse up to the equivalent of three 64 gallon carts. The dollar dump day is a separate per load program for single family customers inside the city limits and requires the voucher the city mails out before the event.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Lodi collects through an exclusive franchise with Waste Management: garbage and organics every week, recycling on alternating weeks, all from the three cart system at the curb. There is no standing bulky item pickup. Large household material moves on two annual programs instead: a free curbside cleanup in April, where residents may set out the equivalent of three 64 gallon carts bagged, bundled or boxed under 50 pounds each, and the dollar dump day, where a single family voucher covers up to two cubic yards for a dollar at the transfer station. Televisions, monitors and electrical cords have been barred from the trash since 2006 and are refused in both large item programs, so electronics go to the annual e-waste event or the county consolidation facility in Stockton. Cooling appliances are the other carve out, because refrigerators and air conditioners that still hold CFCs are refused at both large item programs.
Lodi has no standing bulky item pickup, so a couch leaves on one of the two annual programs: the free curbside cleanup, which takes the equivalent of three 64 gallon carts of additional refuse, or the dollar dump day, where a voucher covers up to two cubic yards for a dollar.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The curbside cleanup is free to Lodi residents and takes additional refuse up to the equivalent of three 64 gallon carts. The separate dollar dump day is priced per load instead and needs the voucher the city mails to single family customers before the event.
When & how
The curbside cleanup runs once a year, typically in April, and the dollar dump day runs once a year, typically between March 15 and April 15. Outside those two windows there is no published collection for a couch.
Get it ready
Bag, bundle or box the material so each container stays under 50 pounds, and keep dirt, concrete, liquids, toxic or hazardous material, cathode ray tubes and large heavy metals such as auto bodies and engines out of the pile because both programs refuse them.
No city page names a mattress, and there is no furniture acceptance outside the two annual cleanup programs, so the reliable routes are the state mattress program: the retailer take back that comes with a new delivery and the participating free drop off locations.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no mattress price and no standing mattress route. A mattress that fits the annual programs would follow their rules, and a unit taken through the state mattress program costs nothing, so confirm with Waste Management at (209) 369-8274 or use a participating drop off location before the unit leaves the house.
When & how
Ask the hauler during business hours whether the next curbside cleanup can take it, or check the mattress program's location search and call the site before hauling. The retailer take back is arranged when a new mattress is ordered.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and wrapped so it stays intact for handling, and keep it out of all three carts. When a new mattress is being delivered, ask the retailer to take the old one, because state law requires the retailer to offer that at no additional cost, with up to 30 days to collect it.
An ordinary appliance can go out with the annual cleanup or ride a dollar dump day load, but a refrigerator or air conditioner that still holds CFCs is refused at both, so the cooling group never inherits the general acceptance.
City cost & eligibility
From $1 for published charge for a single dollar dump day load of up to two cubic yards, which needs the voucher the city mails to single family customers before the event. Single family customers inside the Lodi city limits for the dollar dump day, with the load delivered to the Waste Management transfer station at 1333 E Turner Road. The free curbside cleanup takes appliance sized material instead when the load fits its container rules.
When & how
The dollar dump day runs once a year, typically between March 15 and April 15, and the free curbside cleanup runs once a year, typically in April.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and secure the doors and drum, keep the appliance out of the green, blue and organics carts, and keep refrigerators and air conditioners that still contain CFCs out of both annual programs, because they are refused there.
Refrigerators and air conditioners that still contain CFCs are excluded from both of the city's large item programs, and no city page publishes the route for one, so the unit has to be confirmed before it moves.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no charge for a cooling appliance and explicitly refuses units that still hold CFCs at the curbside cleanup and the dollar dump day. Confirm the unit, the refrigerant handling and any charge with Waste Management at (209) 369-8274, or use a licensed appliance recycler.
When & how
Call before the unit is moved, because neither annual program has a published cooling appliance window.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and secure the doors. Do not place a refrigerator or air conditioner at the curb for the cleanup or in a dollar dump day load while it still holds CFCs, because that is a stated refusal, and do not put it in any of the three carts.
Lodi has barred e-waste from the trash since February 2006, and both large item programs refuse cathode ray tubes. The published routes are the annual Waste Management e-waste collection events at the Lodi transfer station and the county consolidation facility in Stockton.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The annual household hazardous waste and e-waste drop off events are free to Lodi residents, and most household hazardous waste items are also accepted at the San Joaquin County consolidation facility in Stockton, which is free to county residents with a limit of 15 gallons or 125 pounds per trip.
When & how
The e-waste events are held each year at the Waste Management transfer station at 1333 E Turner Road, and the Stockton consolidation facility at 7850 South R.A. Bridgeford Street is open Thursday through Sunday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Get it ready
Keep televisions, monitors, computers, printers, phones, stereos and cords out of all three carts and out of both annual cleanup programs, because the trash ban has been in place since February 9, 2006 and cathode ray tubes are a stated refusal. Wipe personal data before handover.
Lodi clears large household material on two annual programs rather than a weekly route: a free curbside cleanup that takes the equivalent of three 64 gallon carts of additional refuse, and a dollar dump day where a voucher covers up to two cubic yards for a dollar.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The curbside cleanup is free to Lodi residents and accepts additional refuse up to the equivalent of three 64 gallon carts. The dollar dump day is a separate per load program for single family customers inside the city limits and requires the voucher the city mails out before the event.
When & how
The cleanup runs once a year, typically in April, and the dollar dump day runs once a year, typically between March 15 and April 15. Both are announced in advance, and the dollar dump day needs the mailed voucher.
Get it ready
Bag, bundle or box everything for the cleanup and keep each container under 50 pounds, then keep the refused material out of both programs: dirt, concrete, liquids, toxic or hazardous material, cathode ray tubes, tires on the dump day, commercial waste and large heavy metals such as auto bodies and engines.
Both of the city's large item programs refuse dirt and concrete, the curbside cleanup and the dollar dump day both exclude them, and no city page names a landfill or transfer station for renovation material. Lodi publishes no city route for a project load.
City cost & eligibility
The city program lists no rate for construction or demolition material because both annual programs refuse dirt and concrete and neither page names a disposal site for the material. A private hauler or a licensed landfill quotes its own price for the load.
When & how
There is no city collection day for this material, so the load has to be arranged with a private hauler or taken to a site that accepts it on that site's own schedule.
Get it ready
Keep dirt, concrete, liquids, toxic or hazardous material and large heavy metals out of the cleanup pile and out of a dollar dump day load, because those are stated refusals at both. Confirm the receiving site's material rules before the load is loaded.
Exercise equipment is not named in either annual program, so a treadmill or weight machine has to be confirmed with the hauler before it is set out under a program that only runs once a year.
City cost & eligibility
Neither the curbside cleanup nor the dollar dump day names exercise equipment and the city publishes no rate for one. Confirm the machine's size and weight with Waste Management at (209) 369-8274 and ask whether it fits an accepted load during the next program window.
When & how
Call the hauler during business hours well before the April cleanup or the March 15 to April 15 dump days, because both windows are short and neither accepts a machine by default.
Get it ready
Break the machine down as far as it will go and keep the loose parts bagged with it, take off any console or screen so it can go to the e-waste route instead, and keep the frame out of the three carts.
Lodi runs a three cart system under its Waste Management franchise: garbage and organics every week, and recycling on alternating weeks, with the monthly rate set by cart size.
City cost & eligibility
From $39.44 for monthly residential rate for the smallest cart, with the published 64 gallon and 96 gallon rates higher, effective April 1, 2026. Residential accounts inside the Lodi city limits on the city utility bill. Backyard service is available for an additional fee and free of charge for residents who qualify with documentation.
When & how
Garbage and organics are collected weekly and recycling is collected on alternating weeks; the city publishes collection day and recycling week maps and an annual collection calendar.
Get it ready
Sort into the right cart each week, keep recyclables loose and clean in the green cart, and keep e-waste, televisions, monitors, cords and household hazardous waste out of every cart, because those streams are banned from the trash.
The annual cleanup takes three carts worth, bagged and under 50 pounds
The free curbside cleanup usually runs in April. Residents may set out additional refuse up to the equivalent of three 64 gallon carts, and everything has to be bagged, bundled or boxed with each container weighing under 50 pounds. Dirt, concrete, liquids, toxic or hazardous material, cathode ray tubes and large heavy metals such as auto bodies and engines are refused and should not go into the pile.
The dollar dump day needs the mailed voucher and takes two cubic yards
The annual dollar dump day usually falls between March 15 and April 15. Single family customers inside the city limits may bring up to two cubic yards of refuse in a single load to the Waste Management transfer station at 1333 E Turner Road for a dollar, and the voucher has to be mailed to the residence beforehand. Commercial waste, dirt, concrete, tires, liquids, toxic or hazardous material, cathode ray tubes, large heavy metals and refrigerators or air conditioners that still have CFCs are refused.
E-waste and household chemicals never go in a cart
Televisions, computers, printers, phones, stereos and electrical cords have been barred from the trash since February 9, 2006, and household hazardous waste such as paint, solvents, batteries, used oil, antifreeze and pesticides is illegal to put in the trash, down storm drains or on the ground. Both large item programs refuse cathode ray tubes, so the routes are the annual e-waste event, the annual household hazardous waste event and the county consolidation facility in Stockton.
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.

Use the household hazardous waste and e-waste routes
A household with electronics, paint, solvents, batteries, used oil, antifreeze or pesticides that no cart and neither cleanup program will take.
Cost & conditions
No charge. The annual household hazardous waste and e-waste drop off events are free to Lodi residents, and most household hazardous waste items are also taken at the San Joaquin County consolidation facility in Stockton, limited to 15 gallons or 125 pounds per trip.
Arrange it
Use the annual Waste Management event at the Lodi transfer station on East Turner Road, or the county consolidation facility at 7850 South R.A. Bridgeford Street in Stockton, which is open Thursday through Sunday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The Lodi events run once a year each, the Stockton facility is the standing option, and the trip limit is 15 gallons or 125 pounds of hazardous material.
Use the mattress retailer take back or a recycling drop off
A household replacing a mattress, or clearing one out without a purchase.
Cost & conditions
No charge. California law requires a retailer delivering a new mattress to offer to take back the old one at no additional cost, and participating mattress recycling locations accept units free, though delivery or setup fees for the new product still apply.
Arrange it
Ask the retailer for the take back when the new mattress is ordered, or search the mattress program's locations and call the site before hauling the unit.
The retailer has up to 30 days to collect the old mattress and may refuse a unit that poses a health or safety risk, and the drop off locations are separate from the city's annual cleanup windows.
A household or contractor with dirt, concrete, roofing, tile or another renovation load that both of Lodi's annual programs refuse.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes no price and no receiving site for renovation material, because both annual programs refuse dirt and concrete. A licensed hauler or container company quotes its own price for the box, the haul and the disposal, so confirm the load and the receiving site with the company before the work starts.
Arrange it
Contact a licensed hauler or container company, describe the material, and have the box delivered and collected on the company's own schedule.
Nothing from a project goes into the curbside cleanup pile or a dollar dump day load, and the city's solid waste desk at (209) 333-6706 answers questions about what the programs will take.
Lodi's published self haul options are event based. Waste Management's transfer station on East Turner Road hosts the annual e-waste collection events and the annual household hazardous waste event, and it is also where the dollar dump day load goes, up to two cubic yards for a dollar with the voucher the city mails out before the March 15 to April 15 window. For household chemicals the standing option is the county consolidation facility at 7850 South R.A. Bridgeford Street in Stockton, open Thursday through Sunday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., with a 15 gallon or 125 pound trip limit. Everything else the city refuses at its programs, including dirt, concrete, tires on the dump day, cathode ray tubes and cooling appliances that still hold CFCs, has to be arranged with a private hauler or a site that accepts it, and the city's solid waste desk at (209) 333-6706 answers those questions.

Waste Management transfer station that hosts the Lodi special collection programs
Waste Management Lodi Transfer Station
1333 E Turner Road, Lodi, CA 95240
The city's published programs all stage here: the annual e-waste collection events, the annual household hazardous waste event and the dollar dump day loads of up to two cubic yards.
The city publishes this address for its own event programs rather than as a standing public drop off, and no city page lists general self haul hours or a gate price, so treat anything outside an announced event as unconfirmed and call Waste Management at (209) 369-8274 first.
Event based; the city announces the household hazardous waste, e-waste and dollar dump day dates, and the transfer station's own hours are not published by the city.
The only published charge at this site inside a city program is the dollar dump day load, which costs a dollar with the mailed voucher for up to two cubic yards. Anything else has to be quoted by Waste Management at (209) 369-8274.
Prices, timing and the details that matter at your address.
How much does pickup cost?+
Choose your items to see the exact price. A standard sofa is $79 first and $29 additional. The highest first-item price applies once; every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Review any applicable sales tax and the final total before payment.
Can I book a pickup for today?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Choose from the dates shown at checkout. Your booking is for a pickup day, and we text you when your hauler is on the way.
Do my items need to be outside when I book?+

Where should Lodi residents verify local disposal rules?+
Use the official City of Lodi special collection events page and confirm the current rule for the exact item before set-out or drop-off.Official guidance
How does Lodi collect a couch?+
Through one of the two annual programs rather than a weekly route. The free curbside cleanup, usually in April, takes additional refuse up to the equivalent of three 64 gallon carts if it is bagged, bundled or boxed and under 50 pounds per container, and the dollar dump day takes up to two cubic yards in a single load for a dollar with the voucher the city mails out.Official guidance
Where does a mattress go in Lodi?+
Start with the state program, because a retailer delivering a new mattress has to offer to take the old one back at no charge and participating drop off locations take a unit free. The city publishes no mattress rule of its own and no standing pickup, so the annual cleanup windows and the hauler are the local fallback to confirm at (209) 369-8274.Official guidance
Can a washer or dryer go out in Lodi?+
Yes, on one of the two annual programs. A washer sized piece fits the free curbside cleanup when the load is bagged, bundled or boxed under 50 pounds per container, and a larger load can go to the dollar dump day with the voucher for up to two cubic yards. Cooling appliances are the exception, because refrigerators and air conditioners holding CFCs are refused.Official guidance
Where do Lodi televisions and computers go?+
To an e-waste collection rather than the trash, which has been off limits since February 9, 2006. Waste Management holds free e-waste events each year at the Lodi transfer station on East Turner Road, and most household hazardous waste items are also taken at the county consolidation facility in Stockton, Thursday through Sunday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., with a 15 gallon or 125 pound trip limit.Official guidance
When can large items go out in Lodi?+
Only during the two annual programs. The free curbside cleanup usually runs in April and takes the equivalent of three 64 gallon carts of additional refuse that is bagged, bundled or boxed under 50 pounds per container, and the dollar dump day usually falls between March 15 and April 15 and takes up to two cubic yards for a dollar with the mailed voucher.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Lodi?+
The City of Lodi runs solid waste through an exclusive franchise and has partnered with Waste Management since 1988, so WM does the collection while the city sets the program and the rates. Public Works is at 221 W Pine Street and answers at (209) 333-6706, and Waste Management is at 1333 E Turner Road and answers at (209) 369-8274.Official guidance
When can I put large items out in Lodi?+
Only during the two annual programs. The free curbside cleanup usually runs in April and accepts the equivalent of three 64 gallon carts of additional refuse, bagged, bundled or boxed with each container under 50 pounds, and the dollar dump day usually falls between March 15 and April 15 and takes up to two cubic yards in one load for a dollar with the voucher the city mails out.Official guidance
What is refused in Lodi's cleanup programs?+
Dirt, concrete, liquids, toxic or hazardous material, cathode ray tubes and large heavy metals such as auto bodies and engines are refused at the curbside cleanup. The dollar dump day refuses those plus commercial waste and tires, and both programs refuse refrigerators and air conditioners that still contain CFCs.Official guidance
Where do old televisions and computers go?+
Not in the trash, which has been off limits for e-waste since February 9, 2006, and not in either large item program, which both refuse cathode ray tubes. Waste Management holds free e-waste events each year at the Lodi transfer station, and most household hazardous waste items are also taken at the county consolidation facility in Stockton on Thursday through Sunday.Official guidance
How often are the carts collected?+
Garbage and organic waste are collected weekly, and recycling is collected on alternating weeks from the three cart system. The city publishes collection day and recycling week maps plus an annual collection calendar, and up to two additional recycling carts are available free on request.Official guidance
What do I do with a refrigerator that still has CFCs?+
It cannot go out in either annual program, because both the cleanup and the dollar dump day refuse refrigerators and air conditioners that still hold CFCs, and no city page publishes a replacement route. Call Waste Management at (209) 369-8274 to confirm how the unit is handled, or use a licensed appliance recycler that captures the refrigerant.Official guidance
