When & how
Schedule the bulky pickup with Atlas Disposal before the item goes out, or take it to a county facility during its published hours.
Get it ready

Construction materials are refused in the bulky pile and belong at a certified sorting facility or in a temporary debris box.
City cost & eligibility
No retained body publishes a rate for a debris box or for the certified sorting facilities, so confirm the cost with the provider before ordering. Temporary debris boxes come from the city's eligible providers, mixed construction and demolition material has to go to a certified sorting facility, and a Street Use Permit is required when the box cannot sit on private property.
When & how
Order the debris box from one of the city's eligible providers, or deliver mixed material to a certified sorting facility such as GreenWaste Florin Perkins at 4201 Florin Perkins Road, L&D Landfill at 8635 Fruitridge Road or Sierra Waste at 8260 Berry Avenue, and call the facility first about what it takes.
Get it ready
Keep asphalt, concrete, dirt, rocks, bricks, sheetrock and roofing out of the bulky pile, place the box on private property whenever possible, and keep paint, solvents and other hazardous material out of the load.
Exercise equipment is not named on either bulky list, so the hauler confirms the machine before it is scheduled.
City cost & eligibility
Exercise equipment is not on the acceptable or unacceptable bulky lists and no rate is published, so describe the machine to Atlas Disposal at 916.288.2800 before scheduling it.
When & how
Call Atlas Disposal with the machine type and size, then book the pickup only once the hauler confirms it.
Get it ready
Fold or tie down the deck and handles, remove any console or battery pack so it can be handled separately, and keep the machine inside the 10 cubic yard pile limit.
A Rancho Cordova household gets up to three free bulky item pickups a year, each with a pile of no more than 10 cubic yards.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Up to three free bulky item pickups per year for every residential home, with a pile of up to 10 cubic yards or about 10 by 7 by 4 feet. The published pages do not state a price for a fourth pickup, so confirm the amount with the hauler.
When & how
Schedule the pickup with Atlas Disposal at 916.288.2800, through the app or by email before anything goes out, then set the pile out by 6 a.m. on the scheduled collection day and no sooner than 24 hours before.
Get it ready
Keep the pile inside 10 cubic yards, bag leaves and grass clippings, keep items six feet from vehicles and three feet from carts, keep the pile out of the gutter and clear of the sidewalk and road, and keep hazardous material, batteries, propane tanks and construction material out entirely.
Keep the pile to 10 cubic yards and inside the set-out window
A bulky pile must not exceed 10 cubic yards, about 10 by 7 by 4 feet, and it goes out by 6 a.m. on the scheduled collection day and no sooner than 24 hours before. Keep the pile six feet from vehicles and three feet from carts, out of the gutter, and clear of the sidewalk, driveway and road, and bag leaves and grass clippings.
The hauler's instruction is to dial before you pile, so a bulky pickup has to be scheduled with Atlas Disposal at 916.288.2800, through the app or by email before items go to the street, and property owners or tenants can book it. Hazardous material never goes in the pile and electronic waste has to be scheduled rather than thrown away.
Carts go on the street by 6 a.m. on the collection day, three feet from each other, the curb and obstacles and six feet from larger objects such as cars, and they come back within 12 hours and are stored where they cannot be seen from the street. Garbage and organics are collected every week and recycling every other week, with lids closed and recyclables and yard waste kept loose.
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.
