City collection A couch goes out on a neighborhood clean-up day, which every single-family address gets three times a year. A set out takes up to 3 cubic yards of material plus two large bulky items such as appliances, mattresses and furniture. No charge. Three neighborhood clean-up days a year are included for every single-family residential customer at no additional charge, and clean reusable items set apart are diverted to a sorting or donation facility. Material beyond 3 cubic yards is charged at $81.98 per cubic yard, and an extra clean-up outside the scheduled days is $307.57.

City collection Appliances are named in the large bulky item program, which collects up to two items such as appliances, mattresses and furniture in a set out, and the hauler asks for the doors to be removed or sealed. No charge. An appliance is collected as one of the two large bulky items at no additional charge on a scheduled clean-up day, provided it falls in the 60 to 200 pound per item range; anything heavier than 200 pounds is refused.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
San Ramon handles large household items on scheduled neighborhood clean-up days rather than on request. ACI of San Ramon has been the city's franchised hauler for garbage, recyclables and organics since October 2019, and every single-family address gets three clean-up days a year, listed by address on the hauler's schedule. Each set out takes up to 3 cubic yards of material, up to four car or light truck tires without rims, and two large bulky items such as appliances, mattresses and furniture, with no single item over 200 pounds; clean undamaged items set apart and labelled for reuse are diverted to a donation facility instead of the landfill. Material beyond the volume limit is charged by the cubic yard, and an extra clean-up outside the scheduled days is a separate paid service. Household hazardous waste never goes in a cart or a clean-up pile: San Ramon residents can book a free door-to-door collection through the city's partnership with Clean Harbors, or drive to the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District facility in Martinez, which is free to San Ramon households with no appointment. Construction and demolition debris is refused in the clean-up program, so a renovation uses the hauler's debris box service.

City cost & eligibility

When & how
Put the furniture out on the clean-up date shown for the address on the hauler's schedule, no more than 24 hours in advance and within 3 feet of the curb by 5:30 a.m. Two different vehicles collect what is set out.
Get it ready
Keep the pile inside 3 cubic yards and to no more than two large bulky items, with no single item over 200 pounds. Separate clean, undamaged reusable pieces and label them REUSE so they go to the donation stream rather than the landfill. Dirt, rock and construction or demolition debris including pallets are refused in this program.
A mattress is one of the large bulky items the clean-up program names, so it goes out on a neighborhood clean-up day. The state mattress recycling program also lists a free drop-off at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Concord.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. A mattress counts as one of the two large bulky items collected in a scheduled clean-up set out at no additional charge, provided it is within the 60 to 200 pound item range, and a mattress dropped at the Concord ReStore is free to Contra Costa County residents.
When & how
Put the mattress out on the address's scheduled clean-up day by 5:30 a.m., or take it to the Habitat for Humanity ReStore at 2080 Diamond Boulevard in Concord, open Wednesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and keep the load inside the limits of two large bulky items between 60 and 200 pounds each on top of 3 cubic yards of other material. The Concord drop-off takes up to five units without an appointment and asks for 48 hours of notice for a larger load.
Appliances are named in the large bulky item program, which collects up to two items such as appliances, mattresses and furniture in a set out, and the hauler asks for the doors to be removed or sealed.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. An appliance is collected as one of the two large bulky items at no additional charge on a scheduled clean-up day, provided it falls in the 60 to 200 pound per item range; anything heavier than 200 pounds is refused.
When & how
Set the appliance out on the address's clean-up day by 5:30 a.m., within 3 feet of the curb and clear of the street and the sidewalk.
Get it ready
Remove or seal the doors on a refrigerator, freezer or other appliance before it goes out, and empty the unit. Keep hazardous waste out of the pile, and take paint, chemicals and batteries through the household hazardous waste programs instead.
Televisions and other electronics count as bulky items on a clean-up day, and San Ramon also runs household hazardous waste routes for e-waste, including a free door-to-door collection service.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Up to two large bulky or electronic items of 60 to 200 pounds each are collected per set out at no additional charge on a scheduled clean-up day; the city's door-to-door household hazardous waste collection and the sanitary district facility in Martinez are free to San Ramon residents.
When & how
Put the screen out on the address's clean-up day by 5:30 a.m., book a door-to-door hazardous waste appointment at 1-800-433-5060, or take it to the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District facility at 4797 Imhoff Place in Martinez, open Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data from a computer before it leaves the house, keep electronics out of every cart, and note that household batteries go in a zipper-lock bag on top of the recycling cart with the 9-volt terminals taped, while automotive and liquid lithium ion batteries are not collected that way.
Dirt, rock and construction or demolition debris, including pallets, are refused in the clean-up and bulky programs, so a project uses the hauler's debris box service instead.
City cost & eligibility
The debris box schedule the hauler publishes is labelled for commercial service, with per pull rates starting at $1,024.50 for a seven cubic yard solid waste box, a one ton minimum on every box and a $153.75 trip charge, so confirm the residential rate, the box size and the accepted material with the hauler before ordering.
When & how
Order the debris box through ACI of San Ramon at 925-380-9480 before the project generates the debris, because nothing from a project goes into a clean-up pile.
Get it ready
Keep construction and demolition debris and pallets out of the clean-up pile and confirm what the box may hold before it is filled, because hazardous waste, liquids, treated wood and other restricted material still need their own route.
Exercise equipment is not named in the clean-up program's item lists, and a treadmill or weight machine can exceed the 200 pound per item limit, so the machine has to be confirmed with the hauler before it goes out.
City cost & eligibility
A bulky item is collected at no additional charge on a scheduled clean-up day if it fits the two item and 60 to 200 pound limits, so confirm whether the machine qualifies and what an extra clean-up outside the scheduled days would cost.
When & how
Call ACI of San Ramon at 925-380-9480 and describe the machine before the clean-up day.
Get it ready
Give the weight and size when you call, and take the console or any battery pack off so the electronics can be routed to the household hazardous waste programs instead of the pile.
San Ramon collects large items on neighborhood clean-up days rather than by appointment. Every single-family address gets three scheduled days a year, and each set out takes up to 3 cubic yards of material plus two large bulky items.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Three clean-up days a year are included for single-family residential customers at no additional charge. Volume beyond 3 cubic yards is charged at $81.98 per cubic yard, and an extra clean-up outside the scheduled days is $307.57.
When & how
Find the address's three dates on the hauler's clean-up schedule and set the items out by 5:30 a.m. on the scheduled day, no more than 24 hours in advance. Two different vehicles collect what is put out, and the carts still go to the curb by 5:30 a.m. on the weekly collection day.
Get it ready
Contain loose and small items in bags, boxes or bundles, keep the pile within 3 feet of the curb without blocking the street or the sidewalk, and separate clean reusable items and label them REUSE. Dirt, rock, construction debris and pallets, items over 200 pounds, abandoned vehicles and hazardous waste are refused.
The bulky program runs on scheduled clean-up days, not on request
San Ramon does not book bulky pickups on demand. Every single-family address gets three neighborhood clean-up days a year, listed by address on the hauler's schedule, and each set out takes up to 3 cubic yards of material plus two large bulky items such as appliances, mattresses and furniture, with four car or light truck tires allowed if the rims are separated. Items go within 3 feet of the curb by 5:30 a.m. on the scheduled day and no more than 24 hours in advance, and two different vehicles collect what is put out. Volume beyond the limit and an extra clean-up outside the scheduled days are both charged separately.
Carts go to the curb by 5:30 a.m. on the weekly collection day, facing the street with the wheels against the curb and two to three feet of space between them, clear of parked cars, fire hydrants and low branches, and they come back out of public view after they are emptied. Overloading a cart is what causes litter and critter problems, so material is not wedged or compacted into it. Household batteries go in a zipper-lock bag on top of the recycling cart with the 9-volt terminals taped, and automotive or liquid lithium ion batteries are not collected that way.
Hazardous items never go in an ACI container or a clean-up pile. San Ramon residents can book a free door-to-door collection with Clean Harbors at 1-800-433-5060, which sends a containment kit and takes one type of material per bag, sealed and ready by 6 a.m. on the appointment day, with no container larger than five gallons. The other route is the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District facility at 4797 Imhoff Place in Martinez, free to San Ramon residents with no appointment and open Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., where a visit is limited to 15 gallons or 125 pounds in containers no larger than five gallons. Leftover paint can also go back to many retailers through PaintCare.
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.

Where does a mattress go in San Ramon?+
Two routes. A mattress is named in the large bulky item program, so it can go out on a neighborhood clean-up day as one of the two bulky items allowed in a set out, and it can also be dropped free at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore at 2080 Diamond Boulevard in Concord, which is open Wednesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and takes up to five units without an appointment for county residents.Official guidance
Can a refrigerator go out on a San Ramon clean-up day?+
Yes, as one of the two large bulky items a clean-up set out allows, provided the unit is between 60 and 200 pounds.
