Will the city take it?
Alhambra gives every address a bulky item sweep on its normal trash collection day, with six or fewer items set out at no cost and no scheduling, and larger piles booked with the hauler. Electronics and appliances ride a separate scheduled pickup, household chemicals go to a county collection event or a S.A.F.E. center, and construction debris moves in a rented bin or at a certified recycling facility.
