Modesto bulky pickup depends on your hauler
Modesto residential solid waste customers can use bulky item pickup or a haul-it-yourself voucher, but the appointment starts with the correct garbage hauler for the address.
Modesto bulky pickup starts with the garbage hauler for the address. The city contracts with Gilton Solid Waste and Bertolotti Disposal. The right hauler depends on the street.
Residential solid waste customers can use bulky item pickup for large household items that do not fit weekly collection. The city page also explains a haul-it-yourself voucher path for customers who want to take a load to the transfer station.
The appointment matters. Bulky items are picked up by appointment. The page sends residents to the hauler first. The hauler page also helps with pickup days, service areas, holiday delays, garbage, organics, and recycling schedules.
Before putting anything at the curb, find the hauler for the address and set the appointment. Then check what can go out, where it should sit, and when to place it.
