Fairfax Curbside Cleanup: May 4-8

May 1, 2020 by Sustainable Fairfax

FAIRFAX! On your regularly scheduled collection day during the week of May 4-8, 2020, you may put out up to 14 bags of extra material to be collected at no extra cost.

THIS IS THE PERFECT TIME FOR A SPRING YARD CLEAN UP!
Leave your extra bagged yard waste out for us to collect so it can be turned into organic compost.

Place 32 gallon bags or cans of extra garbage, recyclables or yard waste at the curb the night before your regularly scheduled service day. There is a 14 bag limit. Each bag can not weigh more than 60 pounds.

MARIN SANITARY WILL ONLY COLLECT MATERIAL IN BAGS OR CONTAINERS

PLEASE NO BULKY ITEMS.
Bulky items such as couches, appliances and large items will not be collected on your Curbside Clean-up day.

HAVE A BULKY ITEM? Give Marin Sanitary a call at (415) 456-2601 to schedule your two (2) inclusive annual pick-ups of large items like furniture and appliances. Special handling fees may apply.

This service is proudly offered by Marin Sanitary Service and the Town of Fairfax.

Marin Sanitary Service: Curbside Cleanup Next Week!

September 19, 2016 by Sustainable Fairfax

Marin Sanitary Service is providing two new services this year to its ratepayers in Fairfax. The free hazardous waste pick-up has been replaced by a Curbside Cleanup day and two free scheduled Bulky Item Collections.

Curbside Cleanup:  On curbside cleanup days, you can put out up to fourteen extra 32-gallon bags or cans (2 cubic yards) of garbage, recycling, and/or yard/food waste. Bulky items like mattresses, appliances, and furniture will NOT be collected during curbside clean-ups. The next curbside cleanup will be on your regularly scheduled collection day between September 26-30.  If you are a Marin Sanitary Service customer, and do not live in Fairfax, your curbside cleanup may be scheduled for a different week.  See this link for more details. (Note: Residents in the unincorporated areas of Fairfax are not serviced by Marin Sanitary Service and will not receive this service.)

Bulky Item Collections:  Residential customers may receive two free scheduled bulky item collections per year of up to two items each time.  Any item over 60 pounds or 6 feet will be subject to an additional fee to cover equipment and labor. Call Marin Sanitary Service customer service department at 415-456-2601 to get a quote or schedule your collection. A 24-hour notice is required for special pick-up requests. The quote given over the phone may change after the driver assesses the load.
