The cleanup after the work

The project is done. Get your space back.

The new bathroom is ready, but the old vanity is still outside. A replaced door is taking up space you need. Put those leftover items on a pickup plan, with the price settled and updates through the final haul-away.

Match your item

Construction cleanup starts with the right items.

We currently accept the doors, toilets and bathroom vanities listed here, already detached and ready outside. Choose each item separately. Mixed drywall, tile, concrete, lumber and demolition rubble are not accepted, including in bags.

Doors

Count each detached door panel separately. Have it removed from its hinges before pickup. A whole installed doorway or garage door is not the same item.

Toilets

Choose Toilet for an ordinary household toilet that has already been disconnected, drained and moved outside. Text a photo before booking if yours is broken or has loose sharp pieces.

Bathroom vanities

Choose the small, standard or large bathroom vanity that matches your sink cabinet. A makeup table has a separate choice. Plumbing disconnection and removal from the wall happen before pickup.

    Have the fixture safely detached and any plumbing or electrical connections handled by an appropriate professional. We do not remove installed fixtures or perform demolition.

  2. Keep the booked items separate

    Have the fixtures empty and ready at ground level. Keep them apart from rubble, loose renovation materials, tools and anything you want to keep.

  3. Show the outdoor handoff

    Use a permitted outdoor spot with a clear path. Add a location photo and notes on your order page so the right entrance and the right items are easy to identify.

Construction and demolition material

Not on the regular city route

Construction material is refused in the curbside clean-up week and at the city's multi-family collection day, and dirt and rock are named alongside it, so a project load needs its own container or facility.

City cost & eligibility
The hauler offers debris box rentals and the Marin Resource Recovery Center takes heavy material, but no container or tipping rate appears, so confirm the box size and the price with Marin Sanitary Service on (415) 456-2601 or with the receiving site.
When & how
Order a debris box from Marin Sanitary Service on (415) 456-2601, or take the load to the Marin Resource Recovery Center at 565 Jacoby Street, and confirm the accepted material and the charge first.
Get it ready
Keep construction material, dirt and rock completely out of the clean-up pile and the multi-family event, where they are refused. Separate material by type and cover the load, and keep any hazardous waste out of the container.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

The twice yearly clean-up week takes bags, not bulky items

Curbside clean-ups run twice a year and the week depends on the town and the billing cycle printed on the bill. During that week up to 14 bags, about two cubic yards, of garbage, recycling and compostables go out at no extra cost on the normal service day, with bags or cans capped at 60 pounds and 32 gallons, yard waste in paper bags and no plastic, and extra recycling in a container or small cardboard box. Mattresses, appliances, furniture, hazardous waste, electronics, batteries, light bulbs, paint, dirt, rock and construction material are all refused.

For your Dropcurb pickup

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.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

San Rafael splits bulky items between the curb and two drop-off routes. A residential account holder books one of two free scheduled bulky collections a year through Marin Sanitary Service on (415) 456-2601, each taking up to two items with 24 hours of notice, and apartment residents use the city's monthly collection day near Pickleweed Park on the last Saturday of the month instead. Everything hazardous goes to the Marin Household Hazardous Waste Facility at 565 Jacoby Street in San Rafael, which is free for county residents with proof of residency and open Tuesday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., with a 15 gallon or 125 pound trip limit and a 20 gallon allowance for latex paint and motor oil together. Refrigerators and microwaves are refused at the city's apartment event, which directs refrigerator disposal to (415) 485-3174 or to the Marin Resource Recovery Center at the same Jacoby Street address. Construction material, dirt and rock are refused everywhere on the curbside side, so a project load needs a debris box or the resource recovery center.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Construction debris removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in San Rafael.

How much does construction debris removal cost in San Rafael?

Pricing is per accepted item. A detached door is $99 as a single item, an ordinary toilet is $79, and a small bathroom vanity is $99. Larger vanities have their own choices. Select the listed items to see the exact combined price. These prices do not cover mixed rubble or loose building materials. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; applicable sales tax appears before payment.

Can I get same-day toilet or vanity pickup in San Rafael?

Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Checkout shows the dates you can choose. Arrange disconnection, removal and the move outside first, then have the fixture ready by the time in your confirmation. We text you before arrival and provide pickup photos when it is done.

Will you disconnect a sink or take a door off its hinges?

The fixture must already be detached, disconnected and accessible outside at ground level. Arrange plumbing, electrical work, removal from walls or hinges, and indoor carrying before pickup. Dropcurb handles loading and haul-away from your outdoor pickup spot.

Can I add bags of drywall, tile or other demolition waste?

Mixed drywall, tile, concrete, lumber and demolition rubble are not accepted. This page offers pickup for the listed doors, toilets and bathroom vanities that are already removed. Do not book loose building materials as household trash bags or as an extra item. Arrange suitable disposal for those materials with your contractor or a debris specialist.

Can a door, toilet and vanity go in the same pickup?

Yes. Add each listed fixture separately and choose the correct vanity size. Each detached door panel counts as one item. The combined price appears before you book. Keep the fixtures together outside, separate from anything staying, and add a location photo on your order page.

Where does renovation debris go in San Rafael?

Not in the curbside clean-up week and not at the city's multi-family collection day, because construction material, dirt and rock are refused at both. Marin Sanitary Service offers debris box rentals on (415) 456-2601, and the Marin Resource Recovery Center at 565 Jacoby Street takes heavy material, so confirm the accepted load and the price before ordering or hauling.Official guidance

Who collects trash and bulky items in San Rafael?

Marin Sanitary Service collects garbage, recycling and compostables weekly for San Rafael households of fewer than four units, and answers on (415) 456-2601 Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Bulky items run on separate scheduled collections, and the city adds a monthly collection day for apartment residents.Official guidance

Can apartment residents bring bulky items somewhere?

Yes. San Rafael hosts a bulky item collection day with Marin Sanitary Service and Conservation Corps North Bay for multi-family apartment residents only, on the last Saturday of the month from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. near Pickleweed Park at the junction of Canal Street and Spinnaker Point Drive. Each resident may bring up to one pickup truck bed's worth of items, and hazardous waste, refrigerators, microwaves and construction materials are refused.Official guidance
