Gilroy Special Collection Programs

If you have a large, bulky item such as a mattress, refrigerator, or old sofa to dispose of, please contact us for a price estimate and to schedule a bulky item collection.

In April, you can dispose of extra garbage at no additional charge. You may place a maximum of seven additional thirty two-gallon trash bags or seven thirty-two gallon cans of garbage for curbside collection. The Spring Clean Up schedule is provided on your April garbage bill and the "The Connection" newsletter that accompanies your bill.

In addition, for three months after the Spring Clean Up event, you may drop off two bulky items at the San Martin Transfer Station at no charge. This includes furniture, appliances (there is a charge for Freon removal), scrap metal and mattresses. You must provide us with an original copy of your bill, which will be collected. Please contact us for more information.

Your January bill brings another clean up opportunity. From January to April you are able to recycle large items such as two yards of unpainted or untreated wood, concrete, metal appliances (there is a charge for Freon removal), or scrap metal. You must provide us with an original copy of your bill, which will be collected. Please contact us for more information.

Street sweeping in Gilroy occurs every other week. Please move your car by 6:00 A.M. on street sweeping day. Contact us if you are not sure of your street sweeping day.
