The short answer
Republic Services gives Rosemead single-family and multi-family homes up to 5 free bulky pickups a year. Each pickup takes up to 5 items or 10 32-gallon bags, and each item can weigh up to 50 lb and measure up to 4 by 4 by 6 feet. Book at least 48 hours before your trash day.

Sources disagree: Republic's Winter 2025 newsletter says up to 5 free pickups a year of up to 5 items each; Republic's bulky-item flyer says 25 items a year, up to 5 per pickup, and up to 4 pickups of 4 items for multi-family homes. 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 Rosemead or single-item pickup.
