Bulky item pickup in LA and Orange County, city by city

35 city and county programs, each with its own guide

Every program we’ve checked

Most cities in LA and Orange County pick up couches, mattresses and appliances from the curb for free a few times a year, through the city or its trash hauler. Each row links to that city’s guide: who to call, what it takes, what it won’t and where the rules are published. Sort by any column.

“Not published” means the city’s page doesn’t list the allowance; the guide names who to call. Rules change, so check the linked source before you set anything out.

If your items are still inside, you're over the limit or the next pickup day is too far off, we carry it out for you, starting at $190. See how our junk removal works or read bulky item pickup vs. hiring a hauler.
