You want to know it is handled.
When the next collection does not fit your plans, choose a Dropcurb pickup day. Updates keep you informed, and completion photos show when the booked items are gone.
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.

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.
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.
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.

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.

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.

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.
