How to arrange collection

  1. Check the service account. Union City’s multifamily program differs; residents of apartment complexes should use property management rather than assume a personal free quota.
  2. Request the right pickup. Book one of the two annual cleanup appointments if you have an eligible single-family cart account.
  3. 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?

Confirm four-cubic-yard applicability and appliance/refrigerant restrictions when you book.

Sofa, mattress or bulky furniture

Use the city or hauler procedure above. Confirm whether the item counts toward an included allowance and whether an appointment is required.

Refrigerator, freezer or other appliance

Ask about a separate white-goods appointment, doors or refrigerant handling. Do not assume the furniture truck accepts it.

Electronics, chemicals or remodeling debris

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 Union City service provider for a currently open authorized transfer, reuse or recycling option. No facility is recommended here without established acceptance and access details.

Exact household charges, weight and item-preparation requirements can differ by property type or account. Do not use a nearby city’s pricing for Union City.
