City collection Furniture is one of the bulky examples on the city's collection page, which states that Republic Services removes old appliances and furniture at no cost on a scheduled bulky item pickup. Each household is allowed up to three bulky pickups a calendar year with up to 10 items each. No charge. The city publishes the bulky service as free for residents of single family homes only, while the hauler's Garden Grove bulk flyer states that free bulk pickup is available to all single and multi-family residents, with multi-family residents arranging the pickup location through property management. Either way each household receives up to three bulky pickups a calendar year, limited to up to 10 items per pickup. Confirm eligibility for the address when booking.
City collection Mattresses are named among the items residents may bring to the city's community cleanup drop-off days, where they unload their own appliances, furniture, mattresses and carpets. They are not named in the curbside bulky examples, so the curbside route has to be confirmed. The city names mattresses at the self-service cleanup drop-off days but not in the curbside bulky examples, and no fee is published for either. Confirm with Public Works at (714) 741-5000 when the next cleanup day is scheduled and with Republic Services at (714) 238-2444 whether a mattress counts on a bulky pickup.
City collection Old appliances are the first example in the city's bulky item description, and stoves and water heaters appear again in the bulky examples. One class is different: a refrigerator or air conditioner carries a fee because the refrigerant has to be recovered. The city states that appliances and furniture are removed at no cost, then adds that there is a disposal fee for items containing CFCs or Freon and that refrigerators and air conditioners are picked up for a small fee for recovery. The amount is not published, so confirm the charge for a refrigerant unit with Republic Services at (714) 238-2444 when booking.
City collection Garden Grove handles large items with a free bulky item pickup through Republic Services, up to three pickups a calendar year and up to 10 items per pickup, on an appointment rather than a regular collection day. The city also runs community cleanup drop-off days where residents unload bulky material themselves. No charge. The city publishes the service as free for residents of single family homes only, and the hauler's Garden Grove flyer states that free bulk pickup is available to all single and multi-family residents, with multi-family residents coordinating the location through property management. The allowance is up to three bulky pickups per calendar year and up to 10 items per pickup. Items containing CFCs or Freon carry a disposal fee.
The highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Garden Grove collects three barrels every week on the same day: black for trash, green for recyclables and brown for yard waste, with containers out by 6 a.m. and only six holidays shifting the schedule by a day. Large items leave on a separate appointment. Republic Services runs a free bulky item pickup for single family homes, and the city's page states that each household gets up to three bulky pickups a calendar year with up to 10 items each, though the hauler's own Garden Grove flyer extends the same free service to multi-family residents working through property management, so eligibility is worth confirming when booking. Old appliances and furniture are the examples, and there is one exception to the free rule: a refrigerator or air conditioner is picked up for a fee because of the refrigerant recovery. The city also partners with Republic on community cleanup drop-off days where residents unload appliances, furniture, mattresses and carpets themselves, and that event is where mattresses get a published route, because televisions, paint, oil and green waste are all refused there.
Furniture is one of the bulky examples on the city's collection page, which states that Republic Services removes old appliances and furniture at no cost on a scheduled bulky item pickup. Each household is allowed up to three bulky pickups a calendar year with up to 10 items each.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The city publishes the bulky service as free for residents of single family homes only, while the hauler's Garden Grove bulk flyer states that free bulk pickup is available to all single and multi-family residents, with multi-family residents arranging the pickup location through property management. Either way each household receives up to three bulky pickups a calendar year, limited to up to 10 items per pickup. Confirm eligibility for the address when booking.
When & how
Book the pickup by appointment with Republic Services at (714) 238-2444, the number on the city page, or 714.238.3300, the number on the hauler's Garden Grove bulk flyer, and have a list of the items ready.
Get it ready
Keep the load to 10 items, put everything where the hauler directs for the address, and note that a refrigerator or air conditioner among the items carries a refrigerant recovery fee even though the rest of the pickup is free.
Mattresses are named among the items residents may bring to the city's community cleanup drop-off days, where they unload their own appliances, furniture, mattresses and carpets. They are not named in the curbside bulky examples, so the curbside route has to be confirmed.
City cost & eligibility
The city names mattresses at the self-service cleanup drop-off days but not in the curbside bulky examples, and no fee is published for either. Confirm with Public Works at (714) 741-5000 when the next cleanup day is scheduled and with Republic Services at (714) 238-2444 whether a mattress counts on a bulky pickup.
When & how
Take the mattress to a community cleanup drop-off day at the alley east of the Tibor Rubin Library at 11962 Bailey Street when one is scheduled, or book a bulky pickup if the hauler confirms the item.
Get it ready
Arrive prepared to unload the mattress yourself, because the cleanup day is self-service with Public Works staff assisting elderly and disabled residents only. Keep paint, oil, televisions and green waste out of the load, because the cleanup days refuse all of them.
Old appliances are the first example in the city's bulky item description, and stoves and water heaters appear again in the bulky examples. One class is different: a refrigerator or air conditioner carries a fee because the refrigerant has to be recovered.
City cost & eligibility
The city states that appliances and furniture are removed at no cost, then adds that there is a disposal fee for items containing CFCs or Freon and that refrigerators and air conditioners are picked up for a small fee for recovery. The amount is not published, so confirm the charge for a refrigerant unit with Republic Services at (714) 238-2444 when booking.
When & how
Book the bulky pickup by appointment and list the appliance among the items, or take it to a community cleanup drop-off day at 11962 Bailey Street when one is scheduled.
Get it ready
Empty the unit before it goes out, keep it off the curb outside a scheduled pickup, and never put a refrigerant appliance in the black trash barrel, because the refrigerant recovery is what the fee covers.
Electronic waste is expressly refused at the city's community cleanup drop-off days, which name televisions, printers, radios and computers as items they will not take. Orange County runs free household hazardous waste and e-waste collection centers for residents instead.
City cost & eligibility
The cleanup days refuse electronic waste and the city publishes no e-waste pickup, so the working route is the county collection center, which is free to Orange County residents. Confirm with the county hotline at (714) 834-6752 and, if the item is a television, ask Republic Services at (714) 238-2444 whether it can go on a bulky pickup before setting it out.
When & how
Take electronics to the Anaheim Collection Center at 1071 N. Blue Gum Street or the Huntington Beach Collection Center at 17121 Nichols Lane, Gate 6, both open Tuesday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Get it ready
Remove sensitive information before dropping off a computer, phone or drive, because the county states that no destruction happens on site. Keep electronics out of the black barrel and out of a cleanup day load, where they are refused.
Construction material is not on the city's bulky examples, which name furniture, appliances, stoves, water heaters and large tree trunks, and it cannot go in any of the three barrels. The hauler offers trash bins and roll-off boxes for large clean-up jobs.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no residential construction debris rate and points residents to Republic Services for a trash bin or roll-off box on big clean-up jobs. The hauler quotes the container by size and material, so confirm the price and the accepted load before ordering.
When & how
Call Republic Services customer service at (714) 238-2444 to arrange a bin or roll-off box, which is a separate paid service from the weekly barrels and the bulky pickup.
Get it ready
Keep construction debris out of the black, green and brown barrels. Where the item is hazardous rather than bulky, such as paint or oils, it belongs with the county household hazardous waste programme rather than in a container.
Exercise equipment is not named in the city's bulky examples, in the cleanup day list or in the barrel descriptions, so a treadmill or weight machine has to be confirmed before it goes out.
City cost & eligibility
No published entry covers an exercise machine, and the bulky examples name furniture, appliances, stoves, water heaters and large tree trunks instead. Confirm acceptance with Republic Services at (714) 238-2444 before booking a pickup.
When & how
Call before the pickup, and if the machine is accepted add it to the 10 item allowance on a bulky item appointment.
Get it ready
Describe the machine and its size when calling, take the console or any battery pack off so the electronics are handled separately, and keep the frame out of the barrels while the route is confirmed.
Garden Grove handles large items with a free bulky item pickup through Republic Services, up to three pickups a calendar year and up to 10 items per pickup, on an appointment rather than a regular collection day. The city also runs community cleanup drop-off days where residents unload bulky material themselves.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The city publishes the service as free for residents of single family homes only, and the hauler's Garden Grove flyer states that free bulk pickup is available to all single and multi-family residents, with multi-family residents coordinating the location through property management. The allowance is up to three bulky pickups per calendar year and up to 10 items per pickup. Items containing CFCs or Freon carry a disposal fee.
When & how
Book an appointment with Republic Services at (714) 238-2444 or 714.238.3300, or use a community cleanup drop-off day when one is scheduled, which the city lists at the alley east of the Tibor Rubin Library at 11962 Bailey Street.
Get it ready
List the items when booking, keep the load to 10 items, and keep paint, oil and other hazardous waste out of both the bulky load and a cleanup day, because those go to the county household hazardous waste programme instead.
Yard waste has its own brown barrel, collected weekly on the same day as the black trash and green recycling barrels. Large tree trunks appear in the city's bulky examples, while loose green waste is refused at the community cleanup drop-off days.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the weekly residential barrel service, which the city describes as one black barrel for trash, one green for recyclables and one brown for yard waste, collected every week on the same day.
When & how
Put the brown barrel out by 6 a.m. on the regular collection day, which only shifts when it falls on or after one of the six observed holidays.
Get it ready
Keep grass clippings, leaves and yard trimmings in the brown barrel and out of the cleanup day load, because green waste is refused there. Large tree trunks are the yard material the city lists among bulky items, so those go on a bulky appointment.
All three residential barrels are collected every week on the same day, and each one is emptied by a different truck, so a barrel should only be pulled back once it is empty. Containers go in the street at curbside near the corner of the driveway with the handles facing the home, at least three feet from any obstruction such as a fence, lamp, mailbox or parked car, and they are out by 6 a.m. Only six holidays change the schedule: Christmas, New Year's, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day and Thanksgiving, and a collection day that falls on or after one of them moves to the next day.
A bulky pickup is an appointment with a listed load
Bulky items do not go out with the barrels. The service is free for eligible households through Republic Services, allows up to three pickups a calendar year with up to 10 items per pickup, and is scheduled by phone, so the resident lists the items when booking and sets them out for the arranged day. Refrigerators and air conditioners are the exception to the free rule, because the refrigerant has to be recovered for a fee.
Community cleanup days take bulky items but refuse three streams
The city and Republic host community cleanup days where residents unload their own bulky items, including appliances, furniture, mattresses and carpets, and Public Works staff help elderly and disabled residents. Three streams are refused at those events: electronic waste such as televisions, printers, radios and computers, hazardous waste including paint and oil, and green waste such as grass clippings and leaves. Electronics and hazardous material go to the county collection centers instead, and yard waste goes in the brown barrel.
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 Garden Grove Public Works and Republic Services
Book the free bulky item pickup
An eligible Garden Grove household with furniture, appliances, a stove, a water heater or another large household item that will not fit in a barrel.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Free for eligible residential accounts, with up to three bulky pickups a calendar year and up to 10 items per pickup. The city page limits the free service to single family homes and the hauler's Garden Grove flyer extends it to single and multi-family residents, so confirm eligibility for the address when booking. Refrigerators and air conditioners carry a refrigerant recovery fee.
Arrange it
Call Republic Services at (714) 238-2444 or 714.238.3300 and list the items, then set them out for the appointed day.

City of Garden Grove Public Works and Republic Services
Use a community cleanup drop-off day
A household with appliances, furniture, mattresses or carpets that would rather unload the items itself than wait for a pickup.
Cost & conditions
No charge. The city describes the cleanup days as free and open to residents, in partnership with Republic Services, with self-service unloading and Public Works staff assisting elderly and disabled residents.
Arrange it
Take the items to the alley east of the Garden Grove Tibor Rubin Library at 11962 Bailey Street, adjacent to the Eastgate Shopping Plaza, when a cleanup day is scheduled, and unload them yourself.
Electronic waste such as televisions, printers, radios and computers, hazardous waste including paint and oil, and green waste such as grass clippings and leaves are all refused. The city publishes no dates on the page, so confirm the next cleanup day with Public Works at (714) 741-5000.
City of Garden Grove Public Works and Republic Services
Take hazardous waste and e-waste to a county center
A household with paint, cleaners, oil, batteries, pesticides, smoke detectors or electronic waste such as a television, tablet, phone or computer.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Free to Orange County residents at the county's household hazardous waste collection centers. Proof of county residence may be requested.
Arrange it
Drive to the Anaheim Collection Center at 1071 N. Blue Gum Street, 92806, or the Huntington Beach Collection Center at 17121 Nichols Lane, 92647, Gate 6, both open Tuesday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The centers are not permitted to accept waste from businesses, churches, schools, nonprofit organizations or government agencies, or from residents outside Orange County, and no destruction of computers, drives or phones happens on site, so residents have to remove sensitive information first.
Rent a trash bin or roll-off box for a big clean-up
A household or contractor with construction debris or more material than three bulky pickups can take.
Cost & conditions
The city points residents to Republic Services for a trash bin or roll-off box on big clean-up jobs, and the hauler quotes the container by size, delivery and material, so the price has to be confirmed when ordering.
Arrange it
Call Republic Services customer service at (714) 238-2444 to order the bin or roll-off box and arrange delivery.
This is a separate paid service outside the barrel and bulky programmes, and hazardous waste such as paint and oil still belongs with the county programme rather than in the container.

Public disposal center listed by the city for self-haul loads
CVT Public Disposal Center
End of Coronado Street, west of Blue Gum Street, Anaheim, CA
The city lists this site as a public disposal center in its collection FAQ. The city publishes the address, phone number and hours but no item list, so the accepted material for a self-haul load has to be confirmed with the site before the trip.
The city publishes no accepted or refused item list for this center, so a household should call (714) 238-3301 before loading. Hazardous waste does not belong here and goes to a county collection center instead.
Monday through Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
The city lists the site without rates, so confirm the disposal charge and the accepted material with the center at (714) 238-3301 before hauling a load.
