Apartment Cleanout in Santa Clara
Santa Clara’s own cleanup campaign runs once a year, for a few weeks each spring. Leases don’t follow that calendar. We clear apartments whenever the move happens — a quarter truck is $241, and a full-size mattress from a student room $94.
A Mission Town Turned Chip Capital
Mission Santa Clara de Asís was founded in 1777, and Santa Clara University, established in 1851, is the oldest university in California. The city incorporated on July 5, 1852, and Levi’s Stadium hosted Super Bowl LX on February 8, 2026.
Today the big employers are chipmakers — Applied Materials, Intel, AMD and Nvidia. Large apartment complexes house their workforce, and in west Santa Clara (95051) only 44% of homes are owner-occupied.

The City Campaign vs. a Booked Pickup
Spring Campaign
In 2026 it ran April 27 to May 22, curbside, for residents only. Contractor debris, treated wood, household hazardous waste and devices with lithium batteries aren’t accepted, and setting items out early can bring a fine.
The Other Weeks
Everything outside that window — plus anything that has to come down from a unit, and any deadline that won’t wait until spring.
Santa Clara Cleanout FAQs
When is Santa Clara’s annual cleanup?
Once a year in spring; in 2026 it ran from April 27 to May 22. Outside that window, a private hauler is the way to clear larger loads.
Do you handle SCU move-outs?
Yes, including rentals near campus. Roommates can combine everything on one quote.
Can the crew take contractor debris the campaign won’t?
Yes. Remodel debris is priced by volume — see our construction debris page.
Can you clear a unit near Levi’s Stadium on a game day?
Usually, though traffic can shift the arrival window. Pick another day if the timing is tight.
