The short answer
WM gives Mission Viejo residents 3 bulky pickups a year. Each pickup takes up to 5 large items or up to 20 bags of trash or yard waste under 50 lb each, and e-waste such as TVs, computers and monitors counts too. Book 48 hours before your collection day; items go out on your regular trash day.

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 Mission Viejo or single-item pickup.
