City collection Furniture is named in the flyer's acceptable material alongside appliances, so a couch rides one of the four free single-family bulky pickups a year. No charge. Included in the four free single-family pickups a year, inside the two cubic yard measure or the three large item allowance with each item under 100 pounds.
City collection A mattress is named on the hauler's bulky item page as the kind of item the pickup is for, so bedding leaves on a scheduled bulky pickup rather than in the carts. No charge. Included in the four free single-family pickups a year, inside the two cubic yard measure or counted as one of the three large items under 100 pounds.
City collection Appliances are accepted on the bulky pickup, with two published conditions: refrigerator doors must be removed, and a Freon removal charge applies to air conditioners, refrigerators and freezers. The Freon removal charge is required for air conditioners, refrigerators and freezers, but no amount is published on either the hauler page or the flyer, so confirm the charge with Recology at 707.552.3110 when the pickup is scheduled.
City collection A Vallejo single-family household schedules four free curbside bulky item pickups a year with Recology, and each pickup is two cubic yards, which is three feet by three feet by six feet or about twelve 32 gallon bags, plus three large individual items each under 100 pounds. Everything has to be on the itemized list given at scheduling. No charge. Single-family residents get four free curbside pickups a year. A household that exceeds the free pickups may request additional collections for a fee, multi-family residents coordinate one free pickup a year for the whole complex through the property manager, and commercial accounts schedule for a fee.
The highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Vallejo collects through Recology Vallejo, and the route for a couch, a mattress or an appliance is the bulky item pickup: a single-family household schedules four free curbside pickups a year by calling 707.552.3110 with an itemized list, and each pickup is two cubic yards, about twelve 32 gallon bags, plus three large items under 100 pounds each. Appliances and furniture are accepted, with refrigerator doors removed and a Freon removal charge on units that hold refrigerant, and electronic waste rides the same pickup only when it is separated or in an open box and never bagged. Construction and demolition debris, tires, yard trimmings, liquids and hazardous waste are refused. Electronics can also be dropped at the Recology facility at 2021 Broadway Street from Thursday to Saturday, and household hazardous waste is free up to 125 pounds or 15 gallons per trip at the Napa-Vallejo collection facility on Devlin Road.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Single-family residents get four free curbside pickups a year. A household that exceeds the free pickups may request additional collections for a fee, multi-family residents coordinate one free pickup a year for the whole complex through the property manager, and commercial accounts schedule for a fee.
When & how
Call Recology at 707.552.3110 with a detailed list of what will be placed near the curb, and call in advance to add or remove items, because the crew works from the list.
Get it ready
Step the load to the published measure of two cubic yards plus three large items under 100 pounds, bundle long items such as wood, poles, pipes and rolled carpets securely with no more than ten bundles each under 30 pounds, and keep hazardous waste and liquids out of the bags.
Furniture is named in the flyer's acceptable material alongside appliances, so a couch rides one of the four free single-family bulky pickups a year.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the four free single-family pickups a year, inside the two cubic yard measure or the three large item allowance with each item under 100 pounds.
When & how
Call Recology at 707.552.3110 and put the piece on the itemized list before the pickup day.
Get it ready
Keep the piece at the curb where the list says, and keep refused material such as construction debris, tires, yard trimmings and liquids off the same pickup.
A mattress is named on the hauler's bulky item page as the kind of item the pickup is for, so bedding leaves on a scheduled bulky pickup rather than in the carts.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the four free single-family pickups a year, inside the two cubic yard measure or counted as one of the three large items under 100 pounds.
When & how
List the mattress when scheduling at 707.552.3110, and call in advance if the number of units changes.
Get it ready
Keep the unit dry and inside the size limit, and do not bag it or mix hazardous waste into the load, because liquids and hazardous waste are refused on the pickup.
Appliances are accepted on the bulky pickup, with two published conditions: refrigerator doors must be removed, and a Freon removal charge applies to air conditioners, refrigerators and freezers.
City cost & eligibility
The Freon removal charge is required for air conditioners, refrigerators and freezers, but no amount is published on either the hauler page or the flyer, so confirm the charge with Recology at 707.552.3110 when the pickup is scheduled.
When & how
List the appliance when scheduling at 707.552.3110, and ask about the Freon charge at the same time.
Get it ready
Remove the refrigerator doors before the pickup, keep the unit empty, and keep refrigerant and oil out of the carts and out of any bagged material, since the flyer bars hazardous waste and liquids from the bags.
Electronic waste has two routes. It can ride a bulky pickup when it is separated from the other items or placed in an open box and never bagged, and the city publishes a drop-off at the Recology Vallejo facility at 2021 Broadway Street from Thursday to Saturday with no appointment needed.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free at the Recology Vallejo drop-off at 2021 Broadway Street, and included in the four free single-family bulky pickups a year when the electronics ride that route.
When & how
Drop off Thursday to Saturday from 8AM to 3:30PM at 2021 Broadway Street with no appointment, or list the devices on a bulky pickup at 707.552.3110.
Get it ready
Separate electronics from the rest of the pile or put them in an open box and never bag them, wipe personal data before handover, and expect to unload the material yourself at the drop-off.
Construction and demolition debris is refused on the bulky pickup, with asphalt, bricks, concrete, dirt, gravel and treated wood named in the flyer's unacceptable list. No city collection or drop-off for project material is published.
City cost & eligibility
No municipal rate covers construction or demolition debris, because the bulky program refuses it and the city publishes no construction drop-off for residents. A private container or hauling company quotes its own price.
When & how
Arrange a private container or hauling company, since neither the bulky pickup nor the drop-off sites accept project material.
Get it ready
Keep asphalt, bricks, concrete, dirt, gravel and treated wood off the bulky pickup and out of the carts so the rest of the load is not refused, and note that stained wood is the one wood the flyer accepts while painted or treated wood is not.
Exercise equipment is not named in the flyer's acceptable or unacceptable lists, so the machine has to be confirmed. It is too large for the carts, which leaves the bulky pickup as the likely route.
City cost & eligibility
No published category or price covers an exercise machine. Call Recology at 707.552.3110 with the machine type and weight to confirm it can go on a bulky pickup and whether it fits the two cubic yard measure or the three large item allowance.
When & how
Call the hauler before the pickup day so the machine can be added to the itemized list if it is accepted.
Get it ready
Take the machine down as far as it will come apart, keep any loose weights with it, and keep it under 100 pounds as a large item or inside the two cubic yard measure as part of the pile.
Vallejo residents dispose of household hazardous waste free up to 125 pounds or 15 gallons per trip at the Napa-Vallejo Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility, and Recology also takes limited quantities of antifreeze, cooking and motor oil, drained oil filters, fluorescent bulbs, household and car batteries, paints and sharps free at 2021 Broadway Street.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free to Vallejo residents up to 125 pounds or 15 gallons of household hazardous waste per trip at the Napa-Vallejo facility, and free limited quantities of the listed items at the Recology drop-off on Broadway Street.
When & how
Use the Napa-Vallejo Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility at 889A Devlin Road in American Canyon on Friday and Saturday from 9AM to 4PM, or the Recology BOPA drop-off at 2021 Broadway Street from Thursday to Saturday, and note the ReUse Locker at the Devlin Road site is open Fridays and Saturdays from 9AM to 4PM.
Get it ready
Keep hazardous material out of the carts, because the city states it is illegal to put hazardous waste in the garbage or down the drain, keep sharps in an approved biohazard container, and keep liquids and hazardous waste out of any bulky pickup bag.
The pickup runs from the list you give when you call
A bulky pickup is scheduled by calling Recology at 707.552.3110 with a detailed list of what will be placed near the curb, and items have to be added or removed by calling in advance. If the crew finds more than the list, the hauler may decline the pickup, use an additional free pickup, or charge for an extra collection, so the list decides what leaves.
Two cubic yards, three large items and ten bundles
One single-family pickup covers two cubic yards, which is three feet deep by three feet high by six feet long or about twelve 32 gallon bags, plus three large individual items each within those dimensions and under 100 pounds. Long items such as wood, poles, pipes and rolled carpets must be bundled securely, with a limit of ten bundles at under 30 pounds each.
The flyer refuses car parts such as motors, heads and transmissions, construction and demolition debris such as asphalt, bricks, concrete, dirt, gravel and treated wood, liquids, tires, yard trimmings and hazardous waste. Hazardous waste and liquids also must not be bagged with a clean-up load, and electronic waste has to be separated or placed in an open box rather than bagged.
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.
A single-family household with furniture, a mattress, an appliance, electronic waste or another large item that will not fit in the carts.
