How to book a big item trash pickup in Oakland

Oakland residents — owners and renters — can schedule a curbside pickup of bulky junk without incurring an extra charge as part of Waste Management’s trash services.

What: You can off-load up to four cubic yards (3 ft x 3 ft x 12 ft) of bulky waste and a number of large items like appliances, mattresses, consumer electronics and tires. Anything over the allotted amount may incur extra charges, however. Here are some examples:

Trash items

Furniture and carpets (roll and tape all carpets)
Non-hazardous, non-recyclable items (box or bag loose items)
Painted wood/doors, home remodeling debris.

You can also add these large items (arrange separately):

2 appliances
4 mattress or box springs
4 automobile tires or smaller (rims ok)
4 computer monitors, CPUs or TVs
Consumer electronics
Scrap metal
Cardboard (flattened and bundled)
Plant debris (paper bagged)
Branches (4 ft long, 6 in. wide limit) and clean wood (must be bundled)

What is prohibited

No hazardous or medical waste. No rocks, dirt, concrete or fiberglass.

How: Call 1-888-WM-BULKY (1-888-962-8559) to schedule a pickup or request an appointment online.

When: Place items at the curb by 6 a.m. on the day of your appointment (typically on your trash pick-up day) to ensure collection.  Do not place items curbside more than one day before your scheduled pick-up date or you may face a fine.

Frequency: One pickup is included annually as part of regular service. Single-family home residents can schedule a second free curbside pickup 45 days after the first curbside pickup.
