Palo Alto's bulk pickup has limits — we don't
GreenWaste of Palo Alto provides bulk item collection on an as-needed basis with 7-14 business day waits. Residents get a limited number of free pickups annually — additional collections cost $60 each. The Palo Alto Transfer Station at 2501 Embarcadero Way accepts self-haul loads ($60-$150 depending on load size). College HUNKS Hauling Junk serves the Peninsula area (650-618-3524) with volume-based pricing and on-site estimates. 1-800-GOT-JUNK Silicon Valley covers Palo Alto at $150-$600+ with mandatory in-person estimates. LoadUp starts at $79/item online. Palo Alto's high property values ($3M+ median home) and tech industry turnover create constant furniture cycling — Crescent Park, Professorville, and College Terrace homes frequently upgrade during renovations and relocations.
