Clean Up Day

The Clean Up Day service provides you with curbside collection of bulky items, excess recyclables and yard trimmings, and other items. It is available for both Palo Alto residents and businesses.

The Clean Up Day service expanded in September 2019. It is now more frequent, on pre-scheduled dates, and takes additional items.
