Bulky Item Pickup in Burbank

The short answer

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 Burbank or single-item pickup.
