Free Junk Removal Options in Sonoma County
How to get rid of your stuff without paying a dime.
Junk removal costs money. But if you have more time than cash, there are ways to get rid of your items for free in Sonoma County.
Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace
The "Free" section on Craigslist is powerful. If you put a decent couch on the curb and post an alert, it will often disappear within an hour. Facebook Marketplace works the same way. Be honest about the condition. If it is broken, say so. Scrap metal collectors constantly scour these sites for free metal.
Free Bulky Item Pickups
As mentioned in our other guide, your garbage provider (like Recology) offers free annual bulky item pickups. You just have to call and schedule it, then drag the items to the curb.
Charity Pickups
If your items are in great condition, charities like St. Vincent de Paul will pick them up for free. The catch is that they are picky. They will not take stained mattresses or broken desks. And you usually have to wait a few weeks for an appointment.
When "Free" Isn't Worth It
Free options take effort. You have to deal with no-shows from Craigslist. You have to wait weeks for a charity pickup. You have to drag heavy items to the curb yourself.
