The short answer
Republic Services offers Fullerton residents unlimited bulky pickups each calendar year, with unlimited items per collection, according to the city's FAQ. Call Republic to schedule.

Sources disagree: the city's current solid waste page says Republic Services is the sole provider; an older city code-enforcement page still names MG Disposal. 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 Fullerton or single-item pickup.
