Verified dump, bulky pickup, HHW, and e-waste programs in Santa Clara — 32 indexable city guides, with related items grouped on the program board. All verified cities
Mattress, bulky, HHW, and e-waste — the city rules residents actually search.
Named dumps, transfer stations, and HHW sites tied to this city’s research. Confirm hours on the official source.
Items that share the same official city or county source are grouped here. Alias items open this program section; core guides stay on their own page.
Mattresses, furniture, and many appliances — city bulk or drop-off, not the regular cart.
Official source:
Santa Clara mattresss go out during the Annual Cleanup Campaign in your designated service week, or by appointment on a Free Disposal Day — call MTWS at 408-727-5365 during the sign-up window. Household hazardous material is not accepted on either program.
Household hazardous waste — used oil, paint, propane, batteries, and chemicals.
Official source:
Take motor oil to the Santa Clara County Household Hazardous Waste Program, which is free for county residents but appointment-only. Book online or call 408-299-7300; the county deliberately withholds the exact drop-off address until you have an appointment, so you will receive the site location by email after booking. The county runs permanent facilities in East San Jose and San Martin plus temporary events in Santa Clara.
TVs, computers, and electronics. Usually banned from trash and the blue bin.
Official source:
Santa Clara electronics including e waste mixed are collected during the Annual Cleanup Campaign and Free Disposal Days, and county HHW appointments also accept e-waste at no charge. Wipe your data and keep electronics out of the trash under California law.
Construction debris, concrete, and remodel waste — transfer station or roll-off.
Official source:
Residential construction debris is accepted during the Annual Cleanup Campaign only if concrete, asphalt, dirt, brick, rock, drywall, or sawdust is inside a heavy-duty construction debris bag — one cubic yard is free and additional material is $25 per cubic yard (published). Unbagged debris is subject to a $150 fine. Larger projects need a private C&D hauler.
Yard waste, food scraps, and cooking oil where the city has a separate stream.
Official source:
Santa Clara yard waste goes in your weekly yard-trimmings cart; extra volumes can be set out during your Annual Cleanup Campaign week.
Cart recycling, store film take-back, and foam rules — not a second bulky program.
Official source:
Santa Clara recycling carts do not want expanded polystyrene (EPS). White block foam, packing peanuts, and food trays are different streams. Grocery film/bag bins are not a foam drop-off. City of Santa Clara — Annual Cleanup Campaign is the official Santa Clara program we verified — if that page only mentions plastic bags or film, treat block foam and food trays as bagged garbage unless it names a foam densifier. Clean peanuts may be reused at a shipper; starch peanuts are not EPS.
