Regular garbage, recycling and organics service in Santa Clara belongs to the city’s hauler, Mission Trail Waste Systems. Those weekly carts are the right home for everyday household trash, and we do not try to take their place.
The trouble starts with what the carts cannot swallow. A weekend of ripping out carpet, a plum tree cut back to stumps, a spare room of bagged castoffs, or the leftovers from a tenant’s last month in an apartment. Call (408) 310-0246 or text a photo, and we come, carry, load and leave the spot clean.
Where trash and green waste goes
Anything we haul is on top of the city’s regular cart service. After loading, the debris goes to a permitted facility, with metals and reusable pieces taken out first. Our yard waste removal page, linked below, covers green waste in more detail.
If you prefer to drive it yourself, Santa Clara County lists Newby Island Resource Recovery Park in Milpitas as a public self-haul option, and Kirby Canyon Landfill too. Neither takes hazardous material. Paint and chemicals go through the county’s free appointment program for residents.
Overflow and cleanup we take away
- Bagged household overflow
The extra bags that pile up after a spring clear-out and will not fit in the cart by pickup day.
- Cleanup and remodel debris
Packaging, torn-out flooring, drywall offcuts and the mixed pile left by a weekend project.
- Yard and green waste
Pruned limbs, hedge clippings and brush from Santa Clara’s older lots with mature trees.
- Patio, shed and storage-cage contents
Broken planters, torn tarps, rusted tools and boxes nobody opens.
Trash hauling versus bulky junk pickup
Trash and garbage hauling means bagged household trash, overflow, cleanup debris and yard or green waste. Think of it as whatever a bigger cart would have held.
Bulky junk pickup means furniture, appliances and mattresses. That is a different job, with different handling, and you can read about it on our furniture removal page. Residents can also see our Santa Clara page for the city’s on-call bulky program.

Typical trash jobs in Santa Clara
- After a flooring project
A townhome owner has carpet strips, foam padding and packaging stacked by the garage door, well past what the cart would swallow.
- A big pruning weekend
A backyard near the Old Quarter ends up buried in limbs and hedge cuttings. The green cart takes a fraction.
- Apartment turnover
A tenant leaves a dozen bags, a floor lamp and a bin of broken blinds beside the dumpster enclosure, and the manager wants it cleared.

Santa Clara FAQ: Trash Removal
Do you collect my regular weekly garbage?
No. Weekly carts belong to the city’s hauler. We handle extra loads and piles that carts cannot take.
Can you haul yard waste from my Santa Clara home?
Yes. Branches, brush, leaves and clippings can all ride in the trailer. If it fits your organics cart, that is the easy route; we cover the overflow.
What if I am only a few bags over?
Small amounts are fine. We quote by the space used, so a short haul stays a small number.
How is garbage removal different from junk removal?
The loading is similar. Garbage hauling covers bags, debris and green waste, while junk removal also includes furniture, appliances and other large items.
Do I need to bag loose debris?
No. Loose scraps, boxes and tangled branches are fine, and our crew does the lifting.
Will you take remodel debris?
Yes, in reasonable amounts. Remodel waste is outside what a bulky curbside request is meant for, so it is a common job for us.
