Two appointment based cleanups a year take a pile up to four by four by eight feet plus up to three bulky goods such as furniture or appliances.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Two cleanups a calendar year at no additional charge for houses of one to eight units, condominiums, townhouses and mobile homes, including the bulky goods truck. Apartments of nine or more units are excluded but a manager may arrange a complex wide special collection for a fee, and extra pickups are available for a fee.
When & how
Book the appointment with Recology at 650-967-3034 before anything is set out, and have everything at the curb no later than 7 a.m. on the scheduled collection day. Appointments are not transferable and expire in mid-December, and no appointments run between December 26 and the third Friday in January, when a voucher is the alternative.
Get it ready
Keep the pile inside four feet high by four feet wide by eight feet long, with bags, boxes and bundles under 50 pounds each and carpet tied into bundles no longer than four feet and six inches in diameter. Group items by stream, because trash, recycling, compost and bulky goods are collected by different trucks, and set appliances and furniture aside for the bulky goods truck.
Refrigerators, air conditioners, washers, dryers and water heaters are bulky goods, and household appliances also drop free at the Recycling Center.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Appliances ride the free cleanup appointment as bulky goods, and household appliances are accepted free at the Mountain View Recycling Center for residents by appointment. Items weighing more than 200 pounds may require an extra fee.
When & how
Book the appointment with Recology at 650-967-3034, or arrange a Recycling Center drop-off appointment for a household appliance.
Get it ready
Remove or securely tape the doors closed on a refrigerator or freezer before it goes out, to stop children or animals becoming trapped inside. Keep the appliance with the bulky goods rather than in a cart, and leave appliances containing freon out of the Bin for a Day rental.
An On Call Plus cleanup is an appointment booked with Recology at 650-967-3034, and the City asks that the appointment be made before any items are set out. The pile may be no larger than four feet high, four feet wide and eight feet long plus up to three bulky goods, with bags, boxes and bundles under 50 pounds, and everything has to be at the curb by 7 a.m. on the appointment day.
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.

Additional cleanup pickup or full service cleanup
Households that have used the two free cleanups or that want the hauler to do the lifting.
Cost & conditions
The City rate page lists bulky service as varying and the hauler only states that additional pickups are available for a fee, so no amount is published. The City also lists a RecycleMyJunk service that is quoted per job. Call Recology at 650-967-3034 for the current price.
Arrange it
Call the hauler to book the extra pickup or to request a RecycleMyJunk estimate, and confirm the amount before the work is scheduled.
The same item limits and exclusions apply to a paid pickup as to a free cleanup, and an item over 200 pounds or longer than five feet can still be refused or charged extra.
City of Mountain View Public Works Department and Recology Mountain View
Free SMaRT Station dump voucher
Households that would rather haul it themselves, including during the winter pause on cleanup appointments.
Cost & conditions
No charge. One free vehicle entrance at the SMaRT Station per voucher, covering the same items as a cleanup appointment including bulky goods and electronic waste. An uncovered load carries a published fee.
Arrange it
Ask Recology for the voucher at least a week ahead or collect it at the Mountain View Recycling Center at 935 Terra Bella Avenue, then show proof of residency at the scale house, weigh in and weigh out, and cover the load.
Vouchers are not transferable, expire December 31 with a one week grace period in January, and the load still has to be material the SMaRT Station accepts.
Mattresses, box springs, household appliances, untreated lumber, electronics and good condition furniture, all at no charge for Mountain View residents.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Mountain View.
How much does appliance removal cost in Mountain View?+
A full-size household refrigerator is $109 as a single item. A washing machine is $109, and a dryer is $109. Other appliances have their own catalog prices. Choose each item to see your exact total before booking; disposal and recycling costs are included in the item price.
Can I get same-day appliance pickup in Mountain View?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Checkout shows the dates you can choose. Your pickup is scheduled for a day rather than an exact arrival appointment, and we text you before arrival. Have the appliance disconnected and ready outside by your pickup readiness time.
Can you take a washing machine and dryer in one pickup?+
Yes. Add one Washing machine and one Dryer so both units are included in the price. They are separate items, even when you bought them as a set. If yours is a single combined unit or the machines still need to be unstacked, contact us before booking to confirm the scope.
Will you disconnect my appliance or carry it out?+
Dropcurb picks up appliances that are already disconnected and accessible outside at ground level. Arrange uninstallation, utility disconnection and indoor carrying before pickup. Use a qualified professional for gas, hardwired or plumbing connections when needed. We handle loading and haul-away from the outdoor pickup spot.
Can I book if the delivery company did not take my old appliance?+
Yes. Dropcurb pickup is separate from buying or installing a replacement, so you can book removal on its own. Select the old appliance, choose a pickup day and arrange for it to be disconnected and accessible outside. If your new delivery is still ahead, confirm the retailer’s haul-away arrangements before booking a separate pickup.
How many cleanups does Mountain View allow?+
Two cleanups a calendar year at no additional charge for houses of one to eight units, condominiums, townhouses and mobile homes. Each one takes bagged or boxed material in an area no larger than four feet high, four feet wide and eight feet long plus up to three bulky goods.Official guidance
What counts as a bulky good?+
Items such as couches, chairs, mattresses, refrigerators, air conditioners, washing machines, dryers, water heaters, computers and televisions. The City's chart lists them as no fee items, including up to four passenger tires, a lawnmower and a barbecue.Official guidance
What will not be collected on a cleanup appointment?+
Concrete, soil, rock and tree stumps, household hazardous waste such as paint, pesticides, pool chemicals, solvents and fertilizers, creosote timbers, vehicle parts or batteries, fluorescent tubes, and construction material too large, heavy or dangerous for the pickup. The hauler also lists hazardous material, construction and demolition, liquids, rock and material longer than five feet as not accepted.Official guidance
Can usable items be donated in the pickup?+
Yes. Good condition clothing, shoes, accessories, luggage, kitchen equipment, small appliances, electronics 21 inches or smaller, sporting equipment, tools and musical instruments may be set out together and labeled for donation so they are routed to reuse rather than disposal.Official guidance
Which appliances are collected?+
Refrigerators, air conditioners, washing machines, dryers and water heaters are named as bulky goods on the cleanup appointment, and household appliances are accepted free at the Mountain View Recycling Center by appointment. The hauler notes that an item over 200 pounds may require an extra fee.Official guidance
Do I need to do anything to a refrigerator before pickup?+
Yes. Remove the doors or tape them securely closed so a child or an animal cannot be trapped inside, and keep the appliance with the bulky goods at the curb rather than in a cart.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Mountain View?+
Recology Mountain View is the exclusive franchised hauler and can be reached at 650-967-3034. The City's Utility Billing Service at 650-903-6317 handles ordering or changing residential service.Official guidance
Where does household hazardous waste go?+
Hazardous waste drop-off is by appointment only through the Santa Clara County household hazardous waste program at 408.299.7300, and the hauler states it is illegal to put hazardous waste in the trash or down a drain or gutter. Batteries can go in a sealed bag on top of the split cart with the terminals taped or to the Recycling Center or the SMaRT Station, medications go to the confidential drop box in the Mountain View Police and Fire Administration lobby at 1000 Villa Street, paint goes to PaintCare locations or the SMaRT Station, and sharps go to providers, pharmacies or a MED-Project location.Official guidance
How does the split recycling cart work?+
The recycling cart is split into one side for mixed paper and cardboard and the other for bottles and cans, and it is collected with a fully automated truck that keeps the two streams apart until they reach the SMaRT Station. Recycling is collected every other week while trash and compost are weekly, and shredded paper should be placed in a paper bag that is closed tightly.Official guidance
Why can I not book a cleanup in January?+
On Call Plus appointments pause between December 26 and the third Friday in January while holiday trees are being collected. A voucher to take the items to the SMaRT Station is the alternative during that period, and holiday trees are collected free on the compost collection day for four weeks from December 26.Official guidance
