Attend the Final Bulky Block Party on June 22nd for Free Large Item Disposal

Please join us for the LAST Bulky Block Party, this Saturday June 22nd, from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm at 7101 Edgewater Drive to drop off items that don't fit in your trash cart at home for free. 

This monthly event is coming to a close due to changes in the City’s budget as we enter the new fiscal year. However our year-round curbside pick-up and drop-off services are STILL AVAILABLE!

Curbside Bulky Pickup service is provided by Waste Management of Alameda County as a part of the City of Oakland’s Zero Waste program. Residents of single-family homes or buildings with four or less units can schedule up to two FREE pick-ups per year. All others may schedule one per year. Residents may also schedule one FREE drop-off per year at the Davis Street Transfer Station. Homeowners and property managers may contact Waste Management directly to schedule a bulky pick-up or drop-off by calling 1-888-WM-BULKY (888-962-8559) or (510) 613-8710 or visiting www.oaklandrecycles.com/bulky-pickup-services.

The usual eligibility rules will apply at the final Bulky Block Party this weekend. The service is open to Oakland residents only – proof of Oakland residency such as a household bill will be required. Commercial customers will be redirected from these events – they may pay to dispose of large trash loads nearby at the Waste Management Davis Street Transfer Station, located at 2615 Davis Street in San Leandro.

Additionally, Oakland Public Works will be limiting the type of rental vehicles allowed at the event. Personal vehicles and rental moving vehicles like trucks and vans up to a length of 10’ are still permitted. Rental moving trucks over 10’ will be redirected to the Davis Street Transfer Station. These updates are intended to keep more Oaklanders moving through the line more swiftly.

All residential bulky trash is welcome, except for hazardous waste or materials.
