Morgan Hill, CA: bulk pickup & large-item disposal
Morgan Hill homes receive two annual San Martin Transfer Station vouchers; qualifying multifamily buildings can have manager-booked bulky pickup. Ask Recology about extra paid collection.
Quick answer
Morgan Hill residential accounts have two annual San Martin Transfer Station vouchers, not two free curbside bulky pickups. Multifamily managers can book free Recology large-item pickups based on the number of units; extra curbside pickup for a single-family home requires a quote.
Morgan Hill describes manager-booked multifamily service and transfer station vouchers. Neither automatically proves free single-family curbside collection.
Verified local service instructions
Recology South Valley serves Morgan Hill. Qualifying residential accounts receive two annual San Martin Transfer Station vouchers: one for eligible garbage/large goods and one for recyclable items. At multifamily properties, the owner or manager books free bulky collections; the number depends on unit count.
For multifamily pickup, the property manager should call 408-842-3358. For additional curbside large-item collections, single-family customers should request a quote from Recology rather than assuming a free pickup.

How to arrange collection
- Check the service account. A pair of transfer vouchers is not proof of two free curbside bulky pickups for every Morgan Hill household.
- Request the right pickup. Morgan Hill homes receive two annual San Martin Transfer Station vouchers; qualifying multifamily buildings can have manager-booked bulky pickup. Ask Recology about extra paid collection.
- Confirm the details. Write down the booked date, setout window, item restrictions and any total charge before arranging removal.
What can go in the pickup?
Recology says the two vouchers have different purposes: one for eligible garbage/large items such as furniture or painted wood, and one for recycling (such as untreated wood, metal and two electronics). Both are used at the San Martin Transfer Station; confirm current acceptance before hauling.
Use the city or hauler procedure above. Confirm whether the item counts toward an included allowance and whether an appointment is required.
Ask about a separate white-goods appointment, doors or refrigerant handling. Do not assume the furniture truck accepts it.
Keep these out of an ordinary bulky pile unless the source explicitly permits them; ask for a licensed or municipal specialty program.
Fees, limits and other disposal options
If the pickup does not cover your item, ask the Morgan Hill service provider for a currently open authorized transfer, reuse or recycling option. No facility is recommended here without established acceptance and access details.
Call Recology South Valley at 408-842-3358 before an extra curbside pickup or a San Martin Transfer Station visit. The 2026 Morgan Hill service guide confirms two annual vouchers; these should not be counted as two free curbside collections.
