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.

Bulk junk removal in Fontana: start with the item’s collection rules, then choose the arrangement that fits.

Reviewed · Sources below

Large and bulky items

Accepted with preparation

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

Accepted with preparation

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 and electronics

Accepted with preparation

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.

Construction and renovation debris

Not on the regular city route

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.

Hazardous material and electronics go on a Saturday

Large item collection beyond the three free each year

A household that has already used its three free collections and still has a large item to clear.

From $44.26 for the published 2026 service charge for a large or bulky item pickup on the Fontana service rate schedule, with a separate published per item charge added for each item collected.

Arrange it
Book the collection with Burrtec and confirm the item count and the amount before the items go to the curb.

Rent-A-Bin for a household cleanout

A household with more material than the barrels and the large item allowance will take, short of a full renovation.

Cost & conditions
$127.22 for the published 2026 rate for a temporary three cubic yard bin for seven days on the Fontana service rate schedule. Fontana accounts ordering one of the Rent-A-Bins the City lists at three cubic yards and larger as a service for an additional fee. Confirm the load, the sizing and the placement when the bin is ordered.
Arrange it
Order the bin from Burrtec and confirm delivery, placement and pull timing before it is dropped.

Priced with its own rental period, and the schedule adds a published relocation or dry run fee. Hazardous material such as paint, solvents or treated material cannot go in the box.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Fontana keeps most large material on the curb. A household gets three free large or bulky item collections a year for furniture, mattresses, appliances and other items too big for a barrel, and extra recycling and green waste barrels are provided free of charge. What a resident actually hauls is hazardous material and electronic waste, which goes to the City facility at 16454 Orange Way on Saturdays between 8 a.m. and 12 noon with a California identification card showing a Fontana address, capped at 15 gallons or 125 pounds per visit. The Reuse Center at the same site sorts usable products that residents bring in and offers household cleaners, pesticides, fertilizers, pool chemicals and water-based paints to Fontana residents at no charge, one visit per household per calendar month. A renovation load needs a container, because the City lists Rent-A-Bins of three cubic yards and larger as a paid service and the rate schedule publishes a temporary three cubic yard bin and roll-off boxes. The City also links Mid Valley Landfill at 2390 Alder Avenue in Rialto as the county landfill for the area without publishing a residential gate rate.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

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

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Fontana?

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.

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

How many free large item collections does a household get?

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

Who collects trash in Fontana?

Burrtec Waste Industries, under contract with the City. The City's trash and recycling services page prints the hauler's Fontana office at 9820 Cherry Avenue and its number as 909-822-9739, and households get weekly trash, recycling and green waste collection on the day assigned to the address.Official guidance

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

To the City's household hazardous waste facility at 16454 Orange Way, open Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 12 noon. It takes paint and thinners, motor oil and filters, batteries, antifreeze, garden chemicals, pool and hobby supplies, fluorescent bulbs, used cooking oil, mercury thermostats and pharmaceuticals, and each visit is limited to 15 gallons or 125 pounds with no container over five gallons.Official guidance

Can I pick up free household products from the City?

Yes. The Reuse Center at the household hazardous waste facility sorts usable products that residents bring in and offers them to City of Fontana residents at no charge, including automotive fluids, fertilizers, household cleaners and polishes, pesticides, pool chemicals and water-based paints. It is limited to one visit per household per calendar month, with a California identification card showing a Fontana address.Official guidance

What help is there for a senior or disabled resident?

The City provides complimentary pull-out or back-yard service for senior and disabled residents, so the barrels do not have to be moved to the curb, and it offers reduced rates to those residents as well. Pull-out and back-yard service is otherwise a paid option on the service rate schedule, so confirm the eligibility when the service is set up.Official guidance
