DONATE

If it’s possible that some of your items, such as sofas and tables, could find a new life, please consider donating to one of the many non-profits in Santa Clara County. Not only will you be helping divert items from the landfill – you will also be helping a great organization!

EXTRA BAG TAGS

If you have extra organics, recyclables, or landfill material that will not fit in your containers, you may purchase Extra Bag Tags. Just place the tag on your materials near the curb and your driver will pick it up on your regularly scheduled garbage pickup day.

Please call Customer Service to purchase Extra Bag Tags. They can be used at any time and have no expiration date.
