Large Item Pick-up & Cleanups

Bulky ItemsHave unwanted items piling up? Need to clear some space in your garage or backyard? Milpitas residents have several options to dispose of bulky items such as our Bulky Item/On Call Cleanup Program.

Single-Family Households

Single-family residential customers in Milpitas are entitled to 4 free bulky item/cleanups in a rolling 12-month period (must be scheduled at least 8 weeks apart). This pick-up service works for 1 large item (such as a mattress, piece of furniture, or an appliance) or you can fill 2, 1.5 cubic yard white bags for loose items.

Call Milpitas Sanitation at 408-988-4500 to set up a convenient time, fill up your bulky bag (delivered by Milpitas Sanitation), and leave your item on the curb for pick up.

For large junk removal projects, you can rent a debris bin (Single Family Residential Rates - Milpitas Sanitation), fill it up, and schedule a pick-up from Milpitas Sanitation.

Multi-Family Complexes

Multi-family residential complexes can arrange for a bulky item pick-up/clean up for a fee. All fees must be prepaid. For more information, visit Multi-Family Bulky Item/On Call Cleanup Program - Milpitas Sanitation.
