A clear count. An exact price.

Count the bags and boxes, not everything inside.

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.

Couches, furniture and other bulky items

Accepted with preparation

Manteca does not run a standing curbside bulky item pickup. The city routes couches, furniture and similar large pieces through the District Community Clean-Up Event, which each district gets once a quarter and which is free to residents.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Manteca residents at their own district's quarterly clean-up event, which the city states is free of charge. The city publishes no separate bulky item collection rate, and it publishes no pickup for a large piece outside the event.
When & how
Check the city district map and the Resource Lookup Tool to find your district, then take the piece to that district's quarterly event. Bring a utility bill and government issued identification, and expect to unload the vehicle yourself.
Get it ready
Load the piece so you can unload it from your own vehicle, because residents are responsible for removing items. One truck and trailer is allowed and the trailer may be no longer than eight feet, with commercial vehicles and moving trucks turned away. Keep household chemicals, oil, paint, sharps and fluorescent tubes out of the load entirely.
District community clean-up event

Weekly collection, extra bags and the cleanup bin

Accepted with preparation

Manteca collects residential trash weekly in the city brown cart, with a small yearly allowance of extra-garbage stickers and a free cleanup bin as the day to day overflow routes.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Manteca residential accounts. The city states that the extra-garbage stickers are collected at no extra charge inside the three sticker yearly allowance, and that the two cubic yard cleanup bin is delivered free of charge for 24 hours.
When & how
Put the cart in the gutter the night before or by 5 a.m. on the weekly collection day, three feet from other carts and five feet from parked vehicles, and bring it in after collection. For an extra bag, put a city sticker on it beside the cart on the regular collection day. The cleanup bin is a separate free delivery that stands for 24 hours.
Get it ready
Keep the cart three feet from other carts and five feet from parked vehicles and remove it from the curb after collection, because the city cites a court appearance and fines for leaving it out. Put the sticker on an extra bag of ordinary garbage rather than leaving bags loose, and fill the cleanup bin with everyday household garbage only, because concrete, dirt, auto parts and hazardous material are refused.

Weekly cart goes in the gutter

Residential trash is collected weekly in the city brown cart. Put the cart in the gutter the night before or by 5 a.m. on the collection day, three feet from other carts and five feet from parked vehicles, and bring it in after collection so it is not left at the curb.

Bring the large piece to your district event

Each district gets its own District Community Clean-Up Event once a quarter and the event is free to residents. Bring a utility bill and government issued identification, arrive in one truck or a truck with a trailer no longer than eight feet, and unload the items yourself. Bulky items such as couches, furniture and appliances, household trash, electronic waste, mattresses, green waste and up to nine tires are the accepted examples; hazardous waste, oil, paint, sharps and fluorescent tubes are refused.

A Manteca household with a couch, a mattress, an appliance, electronic waste or up to nine tires, at the quarterly event for its own district.

Arrange it
Check the district map or the Resource Lookup Tool to find your district, then bring the load to that district's quarterly event, arriving in one truck or a truck with a trailer no longer than eight feet and unloading it yourself.

Use the extra garbage stickers

A Manteca household with an extra bag or two of ordinary household garbage on a normal collection week.

Cost & conditions
No charge. Manteca residential accounts, inside the three sticker allowance the city gives each household per calendar year, which the city states is collected at no extra charge.
Arrange it
Collect the stickers from the Finance Department on West Center Street during its weekday hours or from the Solid Waste office on East Wetmore Street, then put a sticker on the extra bag and set it beside the cart on the regular collection day.

Three stickers a calendar year, for ordinary household garbage only, and the bags have to sit beside the cart on the normal collection day rather than being left out loose.

Have a free cleanup bin delivered

A Manteca household with more everyday household garbage than the cart holds.

Cost & conditions
No charge. Manteca residential accounts. The city states that the two cubic yard cleanup bin is delivered free of charge for 24 hours.
Arrange it
Request the bin through the Solid Waste Division on (209) 456-8440, fill it within the 24 hours it stands, and keep it to everyday household garbage.

Everyday household garbage only. Concrete, dirt and auto parts are refused and household hazardous material cannot go in it, and the bin is on site for 24 hours.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Self hauling in Manteca runs through the city's own programmes rather than a transfer station. The quarterly District Community Clean-Up Event is the route for anything large: a couch, furniture, appliances, mattresses, electronic waste, green waste and up to nine tires per household go there free, with a utility bill and identification at the gate and the resident doing the unloading from one truck or a truck with a trailer of no more than eight feet. Day to day overflow is handled at home instead, with a sticker on an extra bag inside the three sticker yearly allowance, or with the free two cubic yard cleanup bin that stands for 24 hours and takes everyday household garbage only. Household chemicals never travel with any of that: paint, batteries, fluorescent tubes, pool chemicals and pesticides go to the San Joaquin County facility behind the Stockton Airport, free to county residents, and used sharps go to the Manteca Senior Center on Cherry Lane in a one quart red container. Construction and renovation material has no municipal route at all, so a project load is arranged privately.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Manteca.

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Manteca?

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 does a couch leave a Manteca address?

Through the District Community Clean-Up Event for your district. Manteca publishes no standing curbside bulky item pickup, so a couch, a table or a similar large piece goes to the quarterly event, where the accepted examples begin with bulky items such as couches and furniture. Bring your utility bill and identification, use one truck or a truck with a trailer of no more than eight feet, and unload it yourself.Official guidance

How does extra garbage work in Manteca?

Put a city sticker on the extra bag and set it beside your cart on the regular collection day, within the three stickers a household is allowed each calendar year. The stickers are free and are issued at the Finance Department on West Center Street or at the Solid Waste office on East Wetmore Street, and they normally become available in late December for the following year.Official guidance

What is the free cleanup bin?

It is a two cubic yard bin the city delivers to a home free of charge for 24 hours, meant for everyday household garbage when the cart is not enough. Concrete, dirt, auto parts and hazardous materials cannot go in it, and a household can request the bin through the Solid Waste Division.Official guidance

Where does used motor oil go?

The Solid Waste Office gives residents a container that holds six quarts, free of charge, and used motor oil is collected curbside every week with the trash when that container is placed next to the cart on the regular collection day. The full container is replaced with an empty one.Official guidance

Who collects trash in Manteca?

The City of Manteca collects its own residential trash weekly in the city brown cart, and the Solid Waste Division answers on (209) 456-8440 during weekday business hours. Carts go in the gutter three feet from other carts and five feet from parked vehicles, out the night before or by 5 a.m., and the city collects on every holiday except Christmas Day and New Year's Day.Official guidance

What will the district clean-up event take?

Bulky items such as couches, furniture and appliances, household trash, electronic waste, mattresses, green waste and up to nine tires per household, as the accepted example list states. Hazardous waste, oil, paint, sharps and fluorescent tubes are refused, commercial vehicles and moving trucks are turned away, the trailer may be no longer than eight feet, and the resident unloads the load.Official guidance

Where do paint and household chemicals go?

To the San Joaquin County hazardous waste facility on Bridgeford Road behind the Stockton Airport, open Thursday through Sunday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and free to county residents on (209) 468-3066. Paint, batteries, fluorescent tubes, pool chemicals and pesticides all go there, and neither the weekly cart, the cleanup bin nor the district clean-up event will take them.Official guidance

What do I do with extra garbage between events?

Put a city sticker on the extra bag and set it beside the cart on your regular collection day, inside the three stickers a household gets each calendar year at no extra charge, or request the free two cubic yard cleanup bin, which is delivered for 24 hours and takes everyday household garbage only.Official guidance

Can the city take renovation debris?

No municipal route is published for it. The cleanup bin refuses concrete, dirt and auto parts, and the district clean-up event's accepted list covers household material rather than project debris, so renovation and construction material is arranged with a private hauler or container service.Official guidance
