You have decided what is going. Now give those bags and boxes a pickup day, with a price you can see before anyone arrives.
Book the unwanted bags and boxes left after packing. Choose an available pickup day before you hand back the keys, and arrange to have them outside.
You do not need a whole house of junk. Select the bags, boxes and larger items you actually have. Your combined price is shown online.
When the next collection does not fit your plans, choose a Dropcurb pickup day. Updates keep you informed, and completion photos show when the booked items are gone.
A clear count. An exact price.
A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.
Count each trash bag or filled household box. Books and media go by the box. Clothes, bedding and shoes go by the filled bag. Toys packed together have a Box of toys choice. Ask us about unusually heavy or oversized bags and boxes first.
Empty cardboard is a different choice: choose single empty boxes or tied bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Compacted bales have their own weight-based choices and require loading-dock access. A Storage bin choice covers the empty bin itself; ask us to confirm the contents if they are going too.
Add the actual larger item alongside your bags and boxes, such as a sofa, chair or mattress. It has its own price and preparation. Keep construction materials and items needing special handling out of ordinary household bags.
First item / additional item

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.
The handoff matters
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.

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.

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.
