The new ChoiceCollect program includes twice-yearly On-Call Bulky Goods Collection for no charge. Now year 'round residents in single family, duplex, triplex and mobile homes may call the Utility Customer Service at (408) 730-7400 to schedule an appointment for an extra curbside collection of household garbage and bulky items. This program replaces the spring and fall curbside clean up events. Residents will still be able to bring extra garbage at no charge to the SMaRT® Station during Extra Dumping weekends.
As a “waste prevention” strategy, we encourage donating or selling your useable household goods so that others may use them. See list of reuse organizations on: Reuse Resources.
