The short answer
The only published details we found for Alhambra are from a March 2023 news report on the city reinstating weekly bulky-item sweeps with Republic Services. Under that program, you put bulky items on the curb beside your trash containers on your regular collection day, with no appointment. The cost is included in trash rates.

Possibly out of date: this comes from a March 2023 news report, not a current city page. Confirm with Republic Services before you set anything out.

When the city pickup doesn’t fit
The program works when the items are at the curb and can wait for the pickup day. If they're still inside, upstairs or in the backyard, you're over the limit, or you need them gone sooner, we carry them out and haul them away. Pricing starts at $190; see junk removal in Alhambra or single-item pickup.
