The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Fountain Valley runs three 95-gallon carts through Republic Services, one each for recycling, trash and green waste with food waste, and every home and business in the city has to have service. Anything too large for the carts goes on a bulky item pickup that the city calls the 10 or 4 program: four free collections a year with up to ten large items each. Mattresses, box springs, bed frames, furniture and a long list of appliances all qualify, but remodeling material, construction and demolition waste, universal waste and hazardous waste are refused. Televisions, computers and paint go free to a County of Orange collection centre instead.

Get it ready
Keep the mattress and box spring on the qualifying list and out of the carts. Remodeling material, construction and demolition waste, universal waste and hazardous waste are refused in this programme, so separate those items before the pickup.
Furniture, bed frames, headboards and footboards are named on the qualifying list for the 10/4 bulky item programme.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Fountain Valley residential customers on the Republic Services franchise, four free bulky item collections a year with up to 10 large items per collection.
When & how
Schedule the collection with Republic Services at (714) 847-3581, and set the furniture out for the collection day.
Get it ready
Roll and secure an area rug and keep it under 6 feet, bag any loose trash beyond the cart capacity at no more than 40 pounds per bag with the bag sealed, and keep the load inside the 10 item limit. Intact vanity cabinets, sinks, toilets, bathtubs, windows and doors are refused, and cast iron tubs are refused too.
The bulky programme carries the longest appliance list in the packet, from ovens and range hoods to refrigerators, dishwashers, water heaters, washers, dryers and microwaves.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Fountain Valley residential customers on the Republic Services franchise, four free bulky item collections a year with up to 10 large items per collection.
When & how
Book the collection with Republic Services at (714) 847-3581 and set the appliance out on the collection day.
Get it ready
Empty the unit, secure the doors and keep it out of the carts. The qualifying list names ovens, built-in stove tops, range hoods, refrigerators, dishwashers, water heaters, water softeners, clothes washers and dryers, trash compactors and microwave ovens.
Televisions, monitors, computers and other circuit board items are accepted at the County of Orange household hazardous waste centre, which is free to county residents, because universal waste is refused in the bulky programme.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Orange County residents, who can dispose of household hazardous waste including consumer electronics for free at any of the county's four collection centres.
When & how
Take the devices to the county collection centre at Gate 6 of Republic Services, 17121 Nichols Street, Huntington Beach, CA 92647, open Tuesday to Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Get it ready
Wipe or reset anything that stores data, and keep electronics out of the carts and out of a bulky item load, because the bulky programme refuses universal waste. The centre takes all items containing circuit boards, including televisions, monitors, computers, keyboards, phones and games, and it refuses business waste, biological waste, radioactive waste, ammunition, explosives, asbestos, flares and pressure treated wood.
Remodeling items and construction and demolition waste are refused in the bulky item programme, and Fountain Valley publishes no city curbside or drop-off route for renovation material.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no construction collection rate because its own service does not take the material. A private container company or a county facility sets its own acceptance and price, so confirm both before the load leaves the property.
When & how
Arrange a private container or a receiving facility before the project starts, and keep the material off the curb on collection days and out of a bulky item request.
Get it ready
Keep remodel material out of every cart and out of the bulky pile, because intact vanity cabinets, sinks, toilets, bathtubs, windows and doors are refused along with construction and demolition waste. Separating clean concrete, drywall, wood and metal helps the receiving site confirm what it will take, and paint, solvents and other chemicals go to the county collection centre rather than the debris pile.
Exercise equipment is named nowhere on the Fountain Valley pages, so the hauler has to confirm the machine before it goes out.
City cost & eligibility
No published rate covers an exercise machine. If it is accepted it falls inside the free bulky item allowance, so confirm the item and any charge with Republic Services at (714) 847-3581 before the collection.
When & how
Call Republic Services at (714) 847-3581 with the machine type and weight before scheduling the bulky item pickup, and put it out only for the confirmed collection day.
Get it ready
Break the machine down so a crew can handle it, keep the pieces together and inside the 10 item limit, and remove any console or battery pack so the electronics can go to a county collection centre instead.

Bagged trash beyond the cart capacity may be included at no more than 40 pounds per sealed bag, and bundles of palm fronds or branches may be no longer than 4 feet and no heavier than 40 pounds each.
Hazardous and universal waste never go in a cart or a bulk load
Universal waste and hazardous waste are refused in the bulky item programme, so paint, batteries, bulbs, cleaners, chemicals and anything with a circuit board go to a County of Orange household hazardous waste collection centre instead.

Fountain Valley projects with construction, demolition or remodel debris that the city routes refuse.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes no construction rate because it does not collect the material, so the container company or receiving facility quotes its own price and the acceptance is confirmed before the load moves.
Arrange it
Contact a container or hauling company, or a receiving facility, and confirm the accepted material, the hours and the price before the project debris leaves the site.
Remodeling items and construction and demolition waste are refused in the bulky item programme and in every cart, so this is the only route the city leaves open for a renovation load.
