The short answer
La Cañada Flintridge runs two free citywide bulky pickups a year, one in May and one in November. You can also call your city-authorized hauler (NASA Services, Athens Services or Republic) for two more free on-call pickups a year. Large items such as furniture and appliances, e-waste and bundled or tied green waste are accepted.

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 La Cañada Flintridge or single-item pickup.
