Attend a Bulky Block Party for free large-item disposal

Bulky Block Parties are typically held the last Saturday of the month, January through October, from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm at 7101 Edgewater Drive. Oakland residents may drop off items that don't fit in their trash cart at home—for free! When the last Saturday of the month falls on a holiday weekend, the date may shift by one week. Bulky Block Parties will NOT be held in November and December of 2023.Please refer to the 2024 dates listed above.

This service is open to residents only – proof of residency such as a household bill will be required. Commercial customers will be redirected from these events – they may pay to dispose of large trash loads nearby at the Waste Management Davis Street Transfer Station, located at 2615 Davis Street in San Leandro.

Additionally, Oakland Public Works will be limiting the type of rental vehicles allowed at the event. Personal vehicles and rental moving vehicles like trucks and vans up to a length of 10’ are still permitted. Rental moving trucks over 10’ will be redirected to the Davis Street Transfer Station. These updates are intended to keep more Oaklanders moving through the line more swiftly.

All bulky trash is welcome, except for any hazardous waste or materials including: paints & coatings, oil, gasoline, auto fluids, propane, gas cylinders, cleaners/ bleach, garden products (pesticides, fertilizer, weed killer), batteries, bulbs/ lamps, syringes, pool & spa chemicals, appliances with hazardous waste such as antifreeze or oil, etc.
