Sources disagree: the city's pages say 4 pickups a year with up to 8 items; Republic's Placentia page lists 3 pickups and 10 items. 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 Placentia or single-item pickup.
