ACI - Alameda - Clean Up Programs - On-Call Clean Up Program

Residents of single-family homes and multiplex buildings (4-units or less) have the opportunity to schedule, at their convenience, the discard of up to 2-cubic yards of solid waste and recyclable materials, and up to three bulky items per 12-month period (not calendar year) at no charge. You can schedule an additional pick-up for $91.62. Contact Alameda County Industries' Customer Service by phone at (510) 483-1400 to schedule your clean up date as far in advance as possible of your preferred clean up date.

To be considered eligible for this service, customers must have paid for at least one quarter of service and have an account that is current. Also, customer must subscribe to a minimum of 20 gallons of garbage service.


Before you set your materials out for collection, please reuse or donate them. Here are some sources for further information about donation and reuse: Goodwill Industries – www.eastbaygoodwill.org Salvation Army – www.salvationarmyusa.org or call 1-800-95-TRUCK to schedule a pick-up.


	A 2-Cubic Yard Container: Fill this with solid waste and other small recyclable and non-recyclable materials to top water level (lid must fully close). Please help keep reusable and recyclable items clean by bagging your non recyclable waste. Bulky Items: You may set out up to 3 bulky items for collection including, but not limited to any appliances or pieces of furniture too large to place in a 2-cubic yard container. Please note: Refrigerator doors need to be removed or taped shut. Electronic Scrap: You may substitute one electronic scrap item for 1 of the 3 bulky items. Computers, printers, television sets, and VCR’s are examples of electronic scrap items. Please note: Electronic scrap should be placed at the curb next to the 2-cubic yard bin. Small e-scrap can be placed in a discardable (i.e. cardboard) container at the curb next to the container. Latex Paint/Household Batteries: ACI will accept latex paint and household batteries. Paint must be in a tightly closed original can and clearly labeled. Batteries must be contained separately in a plastic bag. For lithium batteries, please tape terminals. Please set paint and batteries next to container, but not in the gutter, for collection.

Unacceptable Materials:

Any single item weighing over 75 pounds among the 2 cubic yards of waste
Wood longer than 5 feet
Rocks, dirt, cement, sod, construction and demolition material, and other similar debris
Boxes or bags with miscellaneous loose materials placed outside the container will not be accepted

Household hazardous waste, hazardous waste, radioactive material, and toxic materials such as paint thinner, gasoline, pesticides, drain cleaners, non-latex paints, wood staining products, anti freeze, solvents, fluorescent bulbs, ammunition, pool chemicals, and explosives.

If any unacceptable material is found curbside or in the container, it will be tagged and placed on your property. It is the resident’s responsibility to arrange for proper disposal.


	A 2-Cubic Yard Container will be delivered on your regular service day and removed one week later. Be sure it is at the curb by 5:00 AM for collection. Place all bulky items, and electronic scrap on the mow strip if at all possible. Contain smaller items in a disposable box or bag. Please move vehicles away from container for access.

ACI will make every effort to redistribute materials for reuse as its first option. If your materials cannot be reused, recycling will be the next desirable alternative. Disposal of your materials to the landfill will be a last resort.
