Junk Removal in Anaheim

• Regular household trash in Anaheim is typically collected once per week in city-issued carts, with separate containers for trash, recyclables, and green waste; carts should usually be placed at the curb or alley edge no earlier than the evening before pickup and by early morning (around 6–7 a.m.) on collection day.
• Bulk items such as furniture, mattresses, and large non-hazardous household goods often require a scheduled bulky-item pickup; residents are typically asked to place items at the curb no earlier than 24 hours before the scheduled date and to have them out by 6–7 a.m. on the day of service.
• Many bulky-item programs in Anaheim and surrounding Orange County areas limit the amount you can set out per appointment, often to a few large pieces or roughly 3–5 cubic yards of material (about a small car’s trunk to a compact pickup bed); larger cleanouts or piles closer to 8–10 cubic yards (roughly a pile 6 ft wide × 15 ft long × 3 ft high) usually require special arrangements or a private junk hauler.
• Residents should separate regular trash, recyclables (like clean paper, cardboard, bottles, and cans), and green waste from bulky items; appliances, electronics, and scrap metal are often handled differently and may need special pickup, drop-off, or a private junk removal service that can recycle or properly process them.
• Construction and demolition debris from remodeling projects—such as drywall, tile, roofing, concrete, and large amounts of lumber—is typically not accepted in standard bulky-item pickup and often requires renting a dumpster or hiring a junk removal company that can haul and dispose of C&D material according to county and landfill rules.
• When setting out bulky items, residents are usually required to keep sidewalks, driveways, mailboxes, and storm drains clear, placing items close to the curb but not blocking pedestrian paths, parked cars, or access for emergency vehicles.
• Hazardous waste such as paint, chemicals, automotive fluids, and certain electronics is not allowed in regular trash or bulky pickup and must be taken to designated household hazardous waste facilities or events run by the county’s solid waste division.

Because rules and services can change, always confirm the latest trash, recycling, and bulky-item guidelines on the official city or county sanitation website before placing items at the curb.
