The short answer
Athens Services, West Hollywood's waste hauler, picks up bulky items by request only. A December 2024 city notice says pickup is free with a limit of two items, so check the current limit with Athens when you book. Don't put bulky items or electronics in your trash containers.

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 West Hollywood or single-item pickup.
