Regular garbage, recycling, food scraps and green waste in Sunnyvale go through the city’s hauler, Specialty Solid Waste & Recycling, and that is what your carts are for. The trouble starts when the pile is bigger than the cart: a month of cleanup bags, debris from a patio redo, or a corner of the yard that has taken over.
That is where we come in. We do a one-time haul-off of the trash and garbage that will not fit the carts. Text a photo and your address, and we will tell you what the load looks like in the trailer, with a free quote and upfront pricing.
Why the carts cannot take everything
Carts have limits on volume and on what goes in them. The city lets single-family homes buy a tag for one extra bag at the curb, which helps with a slight overflow but not a pile.
Sunnyvale residents can also self-haul to the SMaRT Station Recycling Center, which serves Mountain View and Sunnyvale residents. That works if you have a truck and an afternoon. If you would rather not, we load, haul and sweep up.
Trash and garbage we regularly take
- Bagged household trash
Dozens of bags from a cleanup that no cart could hold at once.
- Overflow after a move
Packing paper, boxes, broken housewares and leftovers from a unit turnover.
- Cleanup debris
Scraps from a small remodel, old fencing pieces or patio materials stacked at the side of the house.
- Yard and green waste
Branches, hedge trimmings and leaf piles beyond what the green cart accepts.
Two kinds of pickup: trash hauling and bulky junk
Trash and garbage hauling covers bagged household trash, overflow, cleanup debris and yard or green waste. Think of it as whatever a cart would hold if it were much bigger.
Bulky junk pickup covers furniture, appliances and mattresses, which the city’s on-call collection also handles within its limits. For those, see our furniture removal service or our Sunnyvale page.
