What won't Laguna Woods's bulky pickup take?

CR&R lists these as not accepted: car parts, construction and demolition waste, hazardous waste and items that cannot be safely loaded by two people.

What if my items are inside, or I can't wait for the pickup day?

City and hauler crews collect from the curb on their schedule. We carry items out from inside, upstairs or the backyard, often the same or next day, starting at $190.

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 Woods or single-item pickup.
