Each appointment can be used to set out extra trash recycling or yard waste in an 8'L x 4'H area PLUS up to 3 bulky goods such as a washer, sofa or mattress at no charge.  For a fee, residents also may set out refrigerators, computer monitors, televisions, and up to 4 passenger vehicle tires for curbside collection.  (These items contain hazardous substances needing special handling.) 

How It Works

Items should be set out on the curb or in the gutter the night before.  All materials must be bagged, boxed or bundled so the driver can lift items into the curbside cart for loading.  To prevent injury to workers or damage to equipment, items may not weight more than 50 pounds or be longer than 4 feet in length.  Tree branches may not exceed 6" in diameter.  Please let Foothill Disposal know if you have bulky items larger than a curbside cart so they can schedule a special truck.  Also, keep garbage recycling and yard waste separate in the set out area because different trucks may collect the items throughout the day.

Items that are not accepted include:  concrete, soil, rocks, tree stumps, and household hazardous wastes such as paint, pesticides, pool chemicals, fluorescent lights, or propane/balloon tanks.  Please call the County HHW Facility at 408.299.7300 to make an appointment (no fee) to drop off your hazardous waste.  

SMaRT Station Voucher

Residents may exchange any of the sppointments for a voucher to self-haul items directly to the SMaRT Station.  Each voucher is good for one vehicle entrance.  Call Foothill Disposal at 650.967.3034 to request vouchers.  Also, SMaRT accepts computer monitors and televisions from residents free of charge.
