The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Fontana contracts with Burrtec Waste Industries for weekly trash, recycling and green waste collection, and every household gets three free curbside collections a year for large items such as stumps and appliances, which the hauler describes as covering furniture and mattresses too. Electronics and household chemicals do not go in the barrels: they go to the City household hazardous waste facility on Orange Way, which opens on Saturdays for residents carrying a California identification card with a Fontana address. Renovation debris has no curbside route at all, so a project load moves through a Rent-A-Bin or a roll-off box ordered from the hauler.
Trash, recycling and green waste are collected weekly from separate barrels, and California's organics rule requires Fontana households to keep food scraps and yard waste out of the trash.
City cost & eligibility
$37.63 for the published 2026 monthly rate for a residential trash barrel on the Fontana service rate schedule. Single family residential accounts. Recycling and green waste barrels carry no additional charge, extra recycling and green waste barrels are provided free, an extra trash barrel carries its own published monthly rate, and senior service is priced separately on the same schedule.
When & how
Collection is weekly on the day assigned to the address, and the City publishes a pickup map for the routes. A collection day that falls on or follows New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving or Christmas is delayed by one day that week.
Get it ready
Keep green waste in the green barrel, because the City grinds that material into mulch and contamination carries a published fee. Brush, grass clippings, leaves, prunings, shrub and tree trimmings, twigs, small branches and weeds go in the green barrel, while animal waste, cactus, concrete, dirt, painted wood and rocks do not. Bagged food waste and soiled paper may also go into the green barrel under the state organics rule.
Items too large to fit in a barrel, including furniture, mattresses and appliances, are collected at the curb three times a year at no charge.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Three free curbside large or bulky item collections per household each year. A fourth or later collection in the year is billed from the published rate schedule, which sets a service charge for the pickup and adds a per item charge for each item collected.
When & how
Call Burrtec customer service at 909-822-9739 to book the collection, and set the items at the curb on the confirmed day. The City publishes 909-822-6531 for a bulky item pickup as well.
Get it ready
An item qualifies when it is too large to fit in the trash barrel, which is the definition both the City and the hauler use. Keep the pile out of the three barrels, keep it clear of the recycling and green waste routes, and leave paint, oil, batteries, electronics and garden chemicals out of it, because those are household hazardous material rather than large items.
Appliances are named in the City's free curbside large item program, and the hauler collects them along with furniture and mattresses.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. A large appliance goes out as one of the three free large or bulky item collections a household gets each year. No separate appliance charge is published; a collection beyond the three free ones is billed from the rate schedule.
When & how
Call Burrtec and ask for a large or bulky item pickup, then set the appliance at the curb on the confirmed day. The City publishes 909-822-6531 for an appliance pickup and 909-822-9739 as the hauler's Fontana number.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and take the doors off a refrigerator or freezer so a child cannot get inside. Keep the appliance out of all three barrels, and keep a unit that holds refrigerant upright while it is moved and until the hauler collects it.
Televisions, computer monitors and other electronic waste stay out of the barrels, and Fontana residents can drop them at the City household hazardous waste facility on Saturdays or add them to a large item pickup.
City cost & eligibility
The City publishes the Orange Way facility as the household hazardous waste and electronic waste drop-off, with its Saturday hours and residency requirements, but publishes no fee for it, and the rate schedule prices only the large or bulky item collection a household can use instead. Confirm the charge when you call 909-350-6531 before loading the car.
When & how
Take the material to the household hazardous waste facility at 16454 Orange Way on a Saturday between 8 a.m. and 12 noon, on a weekend that is not one of the published holiday closures, or book a large or bulky item pickup with Burrtec instead.
Get it ready
Keep electronics and batteries out of all three barrels, because electronic waste is on the City's hazardous waste list and household batteries are accepted with it at the same facility. Wipe personal data from a computer, phone or drive before it leaves the property, and bring a California identification card showing a Fontana address.
No curbside route takes construction or renovation material. The City lists Rent-A-Bins of three cubic yards and larger as a paid service, and the rate schedule publishes temporary bin and roll-off rates for the load.
City cost & eligibility
The weekly barrels and the free large item collections cover household material, and the City publishes no curbside route for renovation debris. Rent-A-Bins of three cubic yards and larger are listed as a service for an additional fee, and the rate schedule publishes a temporary three cubic yard bin and roll-off boxes priced by size and included tonnage, which sit in their own options.
When & how
Order the container before the work starts, and confirm the pull when the box is full, rather than putting material out for a household collection.
Get it ready
Keep boards, drywall, tile, roofing material, concrete and demolition debris out of the three barrels and off the large item pile. The green barrel also refuses concrete, dirt, rocks and painted wood, so those stay out of it. Route paint, thinners and other chemicals to the household hazardous waste facility rather than into a box.
Collection is weekly on the day assigned to the address, and the City publishes a pickup map for the routes. Do not set containers out on extremely windy days, because they can blow over; the City asks residents to wait until the following week instead. A collection day that falls on or follows New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving or Christmas is delayed by one day.
Call Burrtec to arrange a large or bulky item collection and put the items at the curb on the confirmed day. A household gets three of those collections a year at no charge, and a collection beyond the three is billed from the published rate schedule with a service charge and a per item charge.
Hazardous material and electronics go on a Saturday
Paint and thinners, motor oil and filters, batteries, antifreeze, fluorescent light bulbs, used cooking oil, garden chemicals, pool and hobby supplies, mercury thermostats, pharmaceutical waste and electronic waste cannot go in any barrel. Take them to the City facility at 16454 Orange Way on a Saturday between 8 a.m. and 12 noon, closed on major holiday weekends, with a California identification card showing a Fontana address.
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.

What counts as a large or bulky item in Fontana?+
Anything too large to fit in the trash barrel. The City names stumps and appliances as examples, and Burrtec describes the same collection as covering furniture, mattresses and appliances. Each household gets three of those collections a year at no charge.Official guidance
How do I book a large item collection?+
Call Burrtec and ask for a large or bulky item pickup. The City publishes 909-822-9739 as the hauler's Fontana number and 909-822-6531 for an appliance or bulky item pickup, and the items go to the curb on the day the hauler confirms.Official guidance

Three per year at no charge under the City's residential program. A collection beyond the three is billed from the published rate schedule, which sets a service charge for the pickup and adds a per item charge for every item collected.Official guidance
Will Fontana take a treadmill or other exercise machine?+
Exercise equipment is not named in the City's examples or in the hauler's description of what the large item collection covers, so describe the machine when you call Burrtec and let the hauler confirm it before the machine goes to the curb.Official guidance
How does a washer, dryer or refrigerator leave a Fontana home?+
On a large or bulky item pickup at the curb. Appliances are named in the City's free removal three times a year and again in the hauler's description of what the collection covers, so call Burrtec and ask for the pickup rather than an extra trash barrel.Official guidance
Is there anything special about a refrigerator?+
The City does not publish a separate rule for an appliance that holds refrigerant; it treats appliances as part of the large item collection, and no refrigerant line appears on the 2026 rate schedule. Take the doors off, and confirm with Burrtec when you book whether anything else is needed for the unit.Official guidance
Where do televisions and computers go in Fontana?+
To the City's household hazardous waste facility at 16454 Orange Way, open Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 12 noon. Televisions, monitors, laptops, printers, cell phones, microwaves and similar devices are on the accepted electronic list, and the site is for Fontana residents carrying a California identification card with a Fontana address.Official guidance
Where do household batteries go?+
Household batteries are accepted with electronic waste at the Orange Way facility on Saturdays, so they do not go in any barrel. The City also keeps household battery collection bins at City Hall and at many of its parks and community buildings, and its residential page lists which sites have a battery bin and which also take beverage containers.Official guidance
Can a television go out on a large item pickup instead?+
Yes. The hauler collects electronic waste on a scheduled pickup and asks customers to contact its local customer service department, and the City's own electronic page points to the same hauler for appliances. Either way the curbside route uses one of the three free large item collections a household gets each year.Official guidance
Will Fontana take construction debris at the curb?+
No. The free curbside collection is for large household items such as furniture, mattresses and appliances, and the weekly barrels are for household material, with the green barrel refusing concrete, dirt, rocks and painted wood. Renovation debris needs a container ordered from the hauler.Official guidance
What container does a renovation load need?+
The City lists Rent-A-Bins of three cubic yards and larger as a service for an additional fee, and the rate schedule publishes a temporary three cubic yard bin plus roll-off boxes in ten, twenty and forty cubic yards, each with its own included tonnage and rental terms.Official guidance

Where do paint, motor oil, batteries and other hazardous items go?+
