Bulky Item Pickup

Effective March 30, 2020, Recology San Mateo County (RSMC) has suspended Bulky Item Collection Service due to coronavirus-related health concerns.

The main reason for this action is to minimize the risk of Recology employees being exposed to the coronavirus while handling Bulky Items or interacting with customers while performing Bulky Item Collection services.

Customer Service Representatives from Recology will reach out to customers currently scheduled for a bulky item pick up, and add those customers to a priority list to be rescheduled as the program is reinstated.
