A clear count. An exact price.

Count the bags and boxes, not everything inside.

A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.

Filled bags and boxes

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 and containers

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.

Furniture and other larger items

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.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

A cleanup needs two business days of notice

Cleanups run on the regular service day, so the request has to reach the hauler at least two business days ahead with the account name, the address and a list of everything to be set out. Loose garbage is never collected, wood pieces and carpet rolls have to be bundled or tied to four feet or less, pressure treated wood is refused, and only the items a customer service representative confirms will be taken.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

South San Francisco's self-haul route is Blue Line Transfer at 500 East Jamie Court, a public facility with certified scales and no appointment, which takes trash, construction and demolition material through certified sorting and recycling, recyclables at the buyback center, and the hazardous items its batteries, oil, paint and antifreeze center accepts. Antifreeze, car batteries, motor oil, oil filters, paint and uncracked computer monitors carry no added charge within published limits, while cell phones, cooking oil, other electronics and fluorescent tubes carry fees. Cleaning fluids, fertilizers, pesticides, photo chemicals and pool chemicals are refused there and go to the San Mateo County household hazardous waste program, which is free to residents by appointment. For furniture, bedding and appliances, the cheaper route is the free on call cleanup, which takes two large items at a time for an eligible single-family home.

Can you pick up bags of junk today?

Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the booked bags and boxes outside and accessible according to your confirmation.

Do I count every object inside a bag or box?

Can you pick up a small loose pile of household junk?

Yes. Estimate how many trash bags the small household pile would fill, and bag or box as much as possible. Select furniture and other larger items separately. There is no extra charge just because the pile is loose. Send a photo first if the count or contents are unclear. A household Dumpster Bag choice does not accept construction debris.

Can I book bags, boxes and furniture together?

Yes. Select the bags and boxes, then add each larger item using its own catalog choice. The booking shows one combined price for the selected items.
