Before you book

Your questions.
Straight answers.

Prices, timing and the details that matter at your address.

How much does pickup cost?

Choose your items to see the exact price. A standard sofa is $79 first and $29 additional. The highest first-item price applies once; every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Review any applicable sales tax and the final total before payment.

Can I book a pickup for today?

Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Choose from the dates shown at checkout. Your booking is for a pickup day, and we text you when your hauler is on the way.

Do my items need to be outside when I book?

You can book while your items are still inside. Arrange any indoor carrying and have everything outside and accessible according to your confirmation. We load and haul it away from there. Contact us before booking if your property has restricted access.

How do I arrange a bulky item pickup in Santa Maria?

Call the Utilities Department Solid Waste Division at 805-925-0951 extension 7270. The city publishes the bulky item pickup as a service but not the allowance or the fee with the program's public terms, so confirm both on that line. The other route is to drive the item to the Santa Maria Regional Landfill at 2065 East Main Street, open Monday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., where the Recycling Park sorts appliances, electronic waste, mattresses, scrap metal, tires and construction material and general waste is charged by weight.Official guidance

Where does a couch go in Santa Maria?

To the Santa Maria Regional Landfill at 2065 East Main Street, open Monday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., where it is charged as general waste by weight, or on a bulky item pickup arranged at 805-925-0951 extension 7270. The Recycling Park takes unupholstered furniture with its construction and demolition material, but an upholstered couch is not in that category, so it does not ride the free or lower cost sorted route.Official guidance

How do I get rid of a mattress in Santa Maria?

A Santa Maria resident can bring up to five mattresses or box springs for free to the Santa Maria Regional Landfill at 2065 East Main Street, open Monday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., where they are recycled.

Where do televisions and computers go in Santa Maria?

To the Santa Maria Regional Landfill at 2065 East Main Street, open Monday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., where up to five electronic waste items are accepted free.

Does Santa Maria pick up bulky items from the curb?

Can I take construction material to the Santa Maria landfill?

Yes, but to the Recycling Park at the landfill rather than the trash face.

Clean dirt and clean untreated unpainted wood have their own rates on the fee schedule, and an unsorted load can be charged the posted hard to handle rate.Official guidance
