A clear count. An exact price.

Count the bags and boxes, not everything inside.

A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.

Filled bags and boxes

Count each trash bag or filled household box. Books and media go by the box. Clothes, bedding and shoes go by the filled bag. Toys packed together have a Box of toys choice. Ask us about unusually heavy or oversized bags and boxes first.

Empty cardboard and containers

Empty cardboard is a different choice: choose single empty boxes or tied bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Compacted bales have their own weight-based choices and require loading-dock access. A Storage bin choice covers the empty bin itself; ask us to confirm the contents if they are going too.

Furniture and other larger items

Add the actual larger item alongside your bags and boxes, such as a sofa, chair or mattress. It has its own price and preparation. Keep construction materials and items needing special handling out of ordinary household bags.

Bulky item and e-waste pickup

Accepted with preparation

The hauler runs a bulky item and e-waste pickup for household items that do not fit a cart but can be lifted by two people, with a maximum of five items per pickup and one free pickup each calendar quarter for a single-family home.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. One free bulky item pickup per calendar quarter for a single-family home under the city franchise, up to five household items per pickup. Multi-family properties receive free pickups each year equal to the number of units, and additional pickups carry an extra charge.
When & how
Call the hauler to schedule, up to seven days before the regular service day and no later than noon the day before, and describe the items that will be set out.
Get it ready
Set the items where the hauler directs on the service day and keep them where two people can lift them. Loose trash is not picked up, and automobile bodies and parts, spas, gazebos, wood, construction waste, hazardous waste and anything that cannot be handled safely by two people are refused.

Couches and household furniture

Accepted with preparation

Furniture is one of the hauler's named bulky item examples, so a couch leaves on the bulky pickup rather than in a cart as long as two people can lift it.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Furniture counts toward the one free bulky item pickup per calendar quarter for a single-family home, up to five household items per pickup, with an extra charge for additional pickups.
When & how
Book the pickup with the hauler up to seven days before the service day and no later than noon the day before, then set the piece out where the hauler directs.
Get it ready
Keep furniture out of the carts, which do not take bulky items, and keep lawn furniture out of them as well because it is on the container exclusion list. A piece that two people cannot lift safely is not collected on this route.

Appliances and water heaters

Accepted with preparation

Appliances and water heaters are named bulky item examples, and the hauler's container rules state plainly that appliances are not cart material.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. An appliance counts toward the one free bulky item pickup per calendar quarter for a single-family home, up to five household items per pickup, with an extra charge for additional pickups.
When & how
Schedule the bulky pickup with the hauler rather than putting the appliance in a cart.
Get it ready
Keep the appliance out of every cart and out of the organics and recycling streams, and keep it light enough and shaped so two people can lift it safely. The published guide states no separate refrigerant rule, so ask the hauler about a unit that holds refrigerant when you book.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

What never goes in a cart

Appliances, construction material, dirt, sand, stone and concrete, lawn furniture, tires, bulky items and hazardous waste are all excluded from the carts. Hazardous and universal waste cannot go in a cart, down a drain or on the curb, and must go through the county hazardous waste program instead.

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.

City of Carson Public Works with Waste Resources, its franchise hauler

Book the hauler's bulky item and e-waste pickup

A Carson household with furniture, an appliance, a mattress, e-waste or any large item that does not fit a cart but can be lifted by two people.

Cost & conditions
No charge. One free pickup per calendar quarter for a single-family home, with up to five household items per pickup. Multi-family properties receive free pickups each year equal to the number of units, and extra pickups carry an extra charge.
Arrange it
Call Waste Resources at (888) 467-7600 or (310) 366-7600 up to seven days ahead and no later than noon the day before the service day, and describe each item.

Automobile bodies and parts, spas, gazebos, wood, construction waste and hazardous waste are refused, and a mattress has to be bagged and sealed before it goes out.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Carson runs a franchise system, so the curb and the bulky pickup both belong to Waste Resources, and the hauler guide is the document with the item rules. A single-family home gets one free bulky item and e-waste pickup per calendar quarter, up to five items, booked by phone up to seven days ahead and no later than noon the day before, and a mattress has to be bagged and sealed before it goes out. Everything the bulky route refuses has another published route rather than a guess: household hazardous waste, batteries and universal waste go through the Los Angeles County program at 888-CLEAN-LA or the S.A.F.E. center in San Pedro, mattresses have no-cost county drop-off, event and retailer take-back options, and construction debris is arranged directly with the hauler because the city publishes no residential rate for it.

Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Carson.

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Carson?

A trash bag is $59 as the first item and $10 additional. A filled household box is $59 as the first item. Add your actual items and quantities to see the combined price before booking. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; any applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

Can you pick up bags of junk today?

Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the booked bags and boxes outside and accessible according to your confirmation. You receive pickup updates and completion photos; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.

Do I count every object inside a bag or box?

No. Count the filled bags or boxes using the matching choice. Books and media go in Filled household box; clothes, bedding and shoes go in Bag of clothes & bedding; packed toys have a Box of toys choice. Empty cardboard is separate, with individual empty boxes and bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Heavy, oversized or unusual contents need a photo review before booking.

Can you pick up a small loose pile of household junk?

Yes. Estimate how many trash bags the small household pile would fill, and bag or box as much as possible. Select furniture and other larger items separately. There is no extra charge just because the pile is loose. Send a photo first if the count or contents are unclear. A household Dumpster Bag choice does not accept construction debris.

Can I book bags, boxes and furniture together?

Yes. Select the bags and boxes, then add each larger item using its own catalog choice. The booking shows one combined price for the selected items. Move everything to an accessible outdoor spot before pickup; indoor carrying and sorting are not included. Keep anything you want to retain apart from the booked items and identify what goes in your photos and notes.
