City collection Furniture is named in the city's bulky item definition, with chairs, sofas and rugs as the examples, so a couch leaves on the free Athens bulky pickup rather than in a cart. The pickup has to be scheduled at least 24 hours before the collection day, the number of items is not capped, and the city recommends keeping any single request to about five items. No charge. Free to single-family residences and multi-family customers as part of the Athens collection service, with unlimited requests and no additional charge; the city recommends no more than five items per request, and the pickup has to be booked at least 24 hours before the collection day.
City collection A mattress is named in the city's bulky item definition alongside sofas, chairs and rugs, so it leaves on the free Athens bulky pickup. The city also sets a ceiling that matters for bedding: an item over 60 pounds is not a bulky item, so a heavy mattress or one with a box spring has to be booked and confirmed with the hauler. No charge. Free to single-family residences and multi-family customers as part of the Athens collection service, with unlimited requests at no additional charge and a booking made at least 24 hours before the collection day.
City collection Appliances are part of the city's bulky item definition, which lists refrigerators with and without refrigerant along with ranges, washers, dryers, water heaters, dishwashers, plumbing fixtures and small household appliances under the white goods heading.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Azusa hands residential collection to Athens Services, and the free bulky item pickup is the city route for anything too large for a cart. A resident schedules it at least 24 hours before the collection day, the number of items is not capped, and the city recommends keeping each request to about five items. Furniture, mattresses and appliances are all named as bulky items, so a couch, a bed or a refrigerator goes out that way, while construction debris and electronic waste are expressly not bulky items. Electronics instead go to the city's E-Cycle Saturday drop off at the Public Works yard on the third Saturday of the month, a renovation needs a temporary bin or roll-off container from Athens, and paint, chemicals, batteries and the other hazardous items belong at a Los Angeles County roundup.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free to single-family residences and multi-family customers as part of the Athens collection service, with unlimited requests and no additional charge; the city recommends no more than five items per request, and the pickup has to be booked at least 24 hours before the collection day.
When & how
Schedule the pickup through athensservices.com/bulky-item-pickup/ or by calling Athens at (888) 336-6100 at least 24 hours before your collection day, then set the piece out for that day.
Get it ready
Keep each piece inside the city's bulky limits, since an item over 60 pounds, over four feet wide or over eight feet long is not a bulky item, and set it out where the truck can reach it without blocking a driveway, alley or bin area.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free to single-family residences and multi-family customers as part of the Athens collection service, with unlimited requests at no additional charge and a booking made at least 24 hours before the collection day.
When & how
Book the pickup at athensservices.com/bulky-item-pickup/ or by calling Athens at (888) 336-6100 at least 24 hours before the collection day, and confirm the unit against the 60 pound limit when you book.
Get it ready
Wrap or bag the unit if the hauler asks when you book, and keep it out of both carts, which take household trash and recyclables rather than bedding.
Refrigerators, washers, dryers and other appliances
Accepted with preparation
Appliances are part of the city's bulky item definition, which lists refrigerators with and without refrigerant along with ranges, washers, dryers, water heaters, dishwashers, plumbing fixtures and small household appliances under the white goods heading. They leave on the same free Athens bulky pickup, subject to the weight and size ceilings.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free to single-family residences and multi-family customers as part of the Athens collection service, with unlimited requests at no additional charge and a booking made at least 24 hours before the collection day.
When & how
Book the appliance with Athens at athensservices.com/bulky-item-pickup/ or (888) 336-6100 at least 24 hours before your collection day, and flag a refrigerator with refrigerant when you book.
Get it ready
Keep the unit clear of the carts and bins, and confirm at booking if the piece is close to the 60 pound or four foot limits so the hauler brings the right equipment.
Electronic waste is expressly not a bulky item, so the azusa route is the city's own drop off. Weekday drop off is discontinued until further notice, and the current program is E-Cycle Saturday on the third Saturday of each month except holidays, from 8 a.m. to noon at the Public Works yard on North Angeleno Avenue. Televisions, computers and accessories, circuit boards, microwaves, phones, stereos and DVD players are all on the accepted list.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Open to Azusa residents who bring an ID or utility bill showing an Azusa address, on the third Saturday of the month from 8 a.m. to noon at 809 N. Angeleno Avenue; weekday drop off is discontinued until further notice, and business e-waste is not accepted.
When & how
Take the devices to the Public Works yard at 809 N. Angeleno Avenue on the third Saturday of the month between 8 a.m. and noon, except when the date falls on a holiday.
Get it ready
Bag household batteries and old cell phones separately in a container marked for batteries and cell phones rather than mixing them with the electronics, leave a damaged battery out because it is not accepted, and keep bulky waste, car parts and hazardous waste such as oil, paint, car batteries, sharps and medications out of the load.
Construction debris is expressly not a bulky item in Azusa, so a renovation load never goes out with the free bulky pickup. The city route is a temporary bin or roll-off container from Athens: a three cubic yard bin for a cleanout, a low profile 10 cubic yard container for a driveway, and 30 cubic yard roll-offs for construction projects.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no container price and warns that most material in these bins has to be processed at a materials recovery facility, which adds cost, so call Athens Services at (888) 336-6100 before ordering to learn the charges for the material you have.
When & how
Call Athens at (888) 336-6100 to order the container and to confirm the delivery, the pickup and the material rules before the work starts.
Get it ready
Separate inert material such as dirt, rock and asphalt into its own container, which the city says reduces the roll-off cost significantly, keep treated material and hazardous waste out of the load, and keep a contractor load off the bulky pickup entirely.
Exercise equipment is not named in the city's bulky item definition, which covers furniture, appliances and similar white goods, and the definition excludes anything over 60 pounds, over four feet wide or over eight feet long. A machine therefore has to be confirmed with the hauler rather than assumed, and a large treadmill is likely to fall outside the bulky limits.
City cost & eligibility
No city list or published rate covers an exercise machine, so call Athens Services at (888) 336-6100 to confirm whether the machine qualifies as a bulky item or needs a container, and mention its weight and dimensions because the bulky definition excludes anything over 60 pounds or over four feet wide.
When & how
Call Athens before the collection day with the machine's weight and dimensions, and book only once the hauler confirms the route for it.
Get it ready
Break the machine down where you can, keep the pieces together so the crew can handle them, and keep a machine that exceeds the bulky limits off the curb until the hauler confirms what to do with it.
The free Athens bulky pickup is the city's route for household items that do not fit a cart. Requests are unlimited and carry no additional charge, the city recommends about five items per request, and the pickup has to be scheduled at least 24 hours before the collection day. The city's definition excludes car bodies, construction debris, electronic waste, universal waste and any item over 60 pounds, over four feet wide or over eight feet long.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free to single-family residences and multi-family customers as part of the Athens collection service, with unlimited requests at no additional charge and each request booked at least 24 hours before the collection day.
When & how
Book through athensservices.com/bulky-item-pickup/ or call Athens at (888) 336-6100 at least 24 hours before the collection day, and at a multi-family property put the items in the designated trash area without blocking the bins.
Get it ready
Keep the pile inside the bulky limits for weight and size, keep construction material, electronics, tires, batteries, paint and other hazardous items out of it, and note that extra bags of trash that do not fit the barrel are not bulky items even though Athens usually collects them on a scheduled day.
Paint, chemicals and other household hazardous waste
Accepted with preparation
The city runs no permanent hazardous waste site, so paint, chemicals and the rest of the hazardous stream go to the Los Angeles County roundups, which Los Angeles County Public Works and the Sanitation Districts hold around the county through the year and sometimes in Azusa or a neighboring city. The county program is free, and the accepted list covers automobile fluids, paint and thinner, turpentine, lye or acid cleaners, pesticides, pool chemicals, batteries, fluorescent bulbs and unused prescription drugs.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free through the Los Angeles County household hazardous and electronic waste collection program, with a limit of about 15 gallons or 125 pounds per vehicle; the schedule and location come from (888) CLEAN-LA or (800) 238-0172.
When & how
Call (888) CLEAN-LA or (800) 238-0172, or check the county program page, to find the next roundup date and location before you load the car.
Get it ready
Pack the material in a sturdy box, preferably in the original labeled container, keep the load inside the per vehicle limit, and never put paint, oil, batteries, sharps, medications or a fluorescent bulb in a cart.
Barrels go out the night before the service day or by 6 a.m. on the day itself. Athens observes New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas Day, and a holiday creates a one-day delay in collection, while a holiday that falls on a Saturday or Sunday does not delay service. Homes of four units or fewer use three carts, black for trash, blue for recycling and green for organics, and food waste in the green cart has to be in clear or transparent bags.
A bulky pickup has to be booked before anything goes out
Bulky items are collected free by Athens Services, but every request has to be scheduled at least 24 hours before the collection day, and the city recommends no more than five items in one request even though the number of requests is not capped. At a multi-family property the items go in the designated trash area without blocking the bins, and every piece has to stay within the city's limits of 60 pounds, four feet wide and eight feet long.
Construction debris, electronic waste, universal waste and car bodies are not bulky items, and neither is any piece over 60 pounds or outside the width and length limits. Electronics go to the city's monthly E-Cycle Saturday drop off instead, a renovation needs a temporary bin or roll-off container from Athens, and hazardous items such as paint, oil, batteries, sharps, medications and tires go to a Los Angeles County roundup. Bags of trash that do not fit the barrel are not bulky items either.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
A single-family home or a multi-family customer with a couch, a mattress, an appliance or another large item that will not fit a cart.
Cost & conditions
