Where To Dump Your Big Household Items

From the City of Newark

The City’s trash enclosures,roadsides, and other public places are not areas to leave your unwanted items and refuse.

Illegal dumping of mattresses, piles of dirt, waste, and other items create hazards, and hinder our City’s beautification efforts.

You have options!

As a Newark resident, you are granted up to three FREE bulky pick-ups per year.

Just call Waste Management at 510-613-8710 one week prior to schedule your FREE pick-up.

This may include a 3’x 3 ’x 9’ area of items like furniture, carpeting, mattresses, one household appliance, one electronics item, and other items weighing under 150 pounds each.

You may also haul your waste to the Fremont Recycling and Transfer Station located at 41149 Boyce Rd. in Fremont.

The transfer station is open Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.

You must show your ID, as only Newark, Fremont and Union City residents may dispose at this facility. A minimum charge of $36 applies. Specific prices are listed at www.fremontrecycling.com or may be obtained by calling 510-252-0500.

The Fremont Recycling and Transfer Station also offers Household Hazardous Waste Facility.

You can dispose of up to 125 pounds or 15 gallons of hazardous waste for FREE.

This includes items like paint, electronics, fuel, pesticides, home/garden products, fluorescent lamps, batteries, pool chemicals,outdated/unwanted medications, and more.

This facility is open Wednesday through Friday, 8:30am – 2:30 p.m. and Saturday, 8 a.m. – 4:30pm.

Small businesses can also make appointments on Tuesdays by calling 510-252-0500.

The Household Hazardous Waste Facility also contains a Reuse room, where residents can pick up items FREE of charge. Inventory changes regularly, but you can usually find a good selection of latex paint, and often household cleaners and garden products as well.
