The short answer
CR&R gives each Laguna Niguel residential customer 2 free bulky pickups a year. The number of items per pickup isn't published. New residents can have packing materials collected free, but that uses both free pickups.

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 Laguna Niguel or single-item pickup.
