The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Hemet households have a curbside route for large items through the city franchise hauler. CR&R Environmental Services collects trash, recycling and organic waste, and every residential customer gets two bulky item pickups a year free of charge, each covering loose items up to three cubic yards or two large pieces such as a couch, a mattress or a television. The city and CR&R also run four free community clean-up days in 2026 for Hemet residential customers, where sofas, mattresses, appliances, electronics, metals and green waste are accepted and construction debris and hazardous materials are not. Riverside County takes the hazardous material at its free collection facilities, and its Badlands and Lamb Canyon landfills handle self-haul loads, including mattresses at no charge when they arrive separated from the trash.
A couch is a bulky item in Hemet. Each residential customer gets two bulky item pickups a calendar year free of charge, and each pickup covers loose large items up to three cubic yards or two individual pieces such as a couch, a mattress or a television. The free community clean-up also takes sofas and chairs.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. No charge for the two bulky item pickups each residential customer is entitled to per calendar year, and no charge at the city and CR&R community clean-up for Hemet residential customers. A pickup beyond the two is billed as an extra on-call bulky waste pickup.
When & how
Call CR&R at (800) 755-8112 to schedule the pickup, or take the piece to a community clean-up event on one of the 2026 dates between 8 a.m. and 12 p.m.
Get it ready
Keep the piece out of the public right-of-way unless a pickup is scheduled, because the city expects carts and bulky items removed from the right-of-way within 24 hours of collection and no carts visible from the street when they are stored. At a clean-up event you unload your own vehicle, items go into the provided containers, and you must bring a valid identification and proof of Hemet residency.
A mattress is a named bulky item in Hemet, and the county adds a second route: Badlands and Lamb Canyon accept up to five mattresses or box springs free per residential customer per day when they arrive separated from trash loads.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. No charge for the two bulky item pickups a residential customer gets each calendar year, no charge for a mattress at the city and CR&R community clean-up, and no charge for up to five mattresses or box springs per residential customer per day at Badlands or Lamb Canyon when they are carried separately from other waste. A mattress mixed into a trash load is weighed and the whole load is charged at the routine waste rate.
When & how
Call CR&R at (800) 755-8112 to schedule a bulky pickup, take it to a community clean-up between 8 a.m. and 12 p.m. on a published date, or drive it to Badlands or Lamb Canyon, open 6 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and carry it separately from any trash load if you are self-hauling, because the free county allowance applies only when mattresses are separated. Keep it off the street and sidewalk, and unload it yourself at a clean-up event, where children and pets stay in the vehicle.
Refrigerators, water heaters, washers and dryers are on the accepted bulky item list for the city and CR&R community clean-up, and the county landfill takes up to four appliances from a residential customer per day. The city rate sheet also carries a freon removal fee for residential service.
City cost & eligibility
Hemet publishes no per-appliance disposal rate. The city rate sheet lists a freon removal fee of $89.88 for residential service, the community clean-up takes appliances at no charge, and the county landfill takes up to four appliances per residential customer per day, so confirm which route fits the unit and whether the freon fee applies with CR&R at (951) 943-1991 before the appliance is moved.
When & how
Take the unit to a community clean-up event between 8 a.m. and 12 p.m. on a published date, or drive it to Badlands or Lamb Canyon, open 6 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
Get it ready
Empty the unit, tape or strap the doors shut so they cannot swing open in transit, and keep it upright where the vehicle allows. Ask about the freon removal fee before a refrigerated unit is collected, and keep appliances out of a recycling or organics cart.
A television is electronic waste, which may not go in the automated collection. CR&R collects electronic waste on a special pickup up to five items per household per calendar year at no cost, the community clean-up takes electronics, and the county landfill takes up to two CRT televisions or monitors free per residential customer per day.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. CR&R takes up to five electronic waste items per household per calendar year at no cost, electronics are accepted free at the city and CR&R community clean-up for Hemet residential customers, and up to two CRT televisions or monitors per residential customer per day are accepted free at the county landfills.
When & how
Call CR&R at (800) 755-8112 to arrange the special electronic waste pickup, take the set to a community clean-up between 8 a.m. and 12 p.m. on a published date, or drive it to Badlands or Lamb Canyon, open 6 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
Get it ready
Keep the set out of every cart, because the city states that household hazardous waste may not go through the automated residential collection program. Keep the screen whole for the trip, bring a valid identification and proof of Hemet residency to a clean-up event, and unload the vehicle yourself there.
Computers, phones, printers and similar electronics follow the same published routes as televisions: the CR&R electronic waste pickup with a five item yearly quantity at no cost, the community clean-up, and the county collection facilities.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. CR&R collects up to five electronic waste items per household per calendar year at no cost, the city and CR&R community clean-up accepts electronics free for Hemet residential customers, and the Riverside County collection facilities are free for county residents.
When & how
Call CR&R at (800) 755-8112 for the special pickup, use a community clean-up between 8 a.m. and 12 p.m., or take the device to a county household hazardous waste facility on its published schedule.
Get it ready
Wipe stored data where the device powers on, keep the chargers and cables with it, and keep electronics out of the refuse, recycling and organics carts. The county accepts electronic waste at its facilities and refuses out-of-county, business and non-profit material.
Construction and demolition debris is refused at the free community clean-up and is not part of the two free bulky pickups. A renovation load needs a rented debris box or rolloff container from CR&R, or an approved self-haul trip to a county landfill.
City cost & eligibility
From $440.42 per pull for a 10, 20, 30 or 40 cubic yard debris box, with a 3 cubic yard box at $269.27 for delivery and pull, and processing or disposal billed at actual cost. Ordered from CR&R, the city franchise hauler, at (951) 943-1991. Self-hauling to a county landfill instead requires approval from the City of Hemet Public Works Director under Municipal Code Chapter 62, and the landfill charge is set by weight.
When & how
Order the container from CR&R before the work starts, or obtain self-haul approval from Public Works at (951) 765-3712 and drive the load to Badlands or Lamb Canyon, open 6 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
Get it ready
Keep construction debris out of the free bulky pickup and out of the community clean-up, because both refuse commercial and construction material. Loads entering a county landfill must be covered or secured, because an uncovered or unsecured load is surcharged, and the gates close promptly at the stated closing time.
Exercise equipment is not named on any Hemet, CR&R or Riverside County list read for this city, so the machine has to be confirmed against the bulky item limits before it is set out or hauled.
City cost & eligibility
No published list or rate names an exercise machine. Hemet publishes the bulky pickup size limits, a rate sheet line for an extra on-call bulky waste pickup and debris box pull rates, so confirm with CR&R at (951) 943-1991 whether the machine fits a bulky pickup or needs a container.
When & how
Call CR&R at (951) 943-1991 before the pickup day, and ask whether the machine should go out as a bulky item or into a rented debris box.
Get it ready
Describe the machine, its weight and its longest part, take off loose weights and pedals so nothing falls during handling, and keep the piece out of the carts and out of the public right-of-way until a collection is scheduled.
Hemet households get two bulky item pickups a calendar year at no charge, each covering loose items up to three cubic yards or two individual large pieces, and the city and CR&R run four free clean-up days in 2026 for residential customers who cannot fit everything into a pickup.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. No charge for the two bulky item pickups each residential customer is entitled to per calendar year, and no charge at a city and CR&R community clean-up for Hemet residential customers. The city rate sheet lists an extra on-call bulky waste pickup at $40.88 when the two free pickups are used up.
When & how
Schedule a pickup with CR&R at (800) 755-8112, or use a community clean-up between 8 a.m. and 12 p.m. on February 7, April 25, August 1 or November 7, 2026.
Get it ready
Keep loose items inside the three cubic yard allowance or limit the load to two large pieces, keep everything on private property rather than in the street or on the sidewalk, and bring a valid identification and proof of Hemet residency to a clean-up event, where you unload your own vehicle and items go into the containers provided.
Carts out by six in the morning and back in the same day
CR&R asks that containers be at the curb no later than 6:00 a.m. on collection day, side by side about one foot apart and at least three feet from any obstruction, with the handles and wheels facing the home. Containers come back in within 12 hours after service, and the city expects carts removed from the public right-of-way within 24 hours of the collection day and stored where they are not visible from the street. Items not inside a container are not collected, and no liquid or hazardous waste goes into any container.
Book the bulky pickup before anything goes to the curb
Nothing large should sit at the curb without a scheduled collection. Call CR&R at (800) 755-8112 to book one of the two free bulky item pickups each residential customer gets a year, and keep the load to loose items within three cubic yards or two individual large pieces such as a couch, a mattress or a television. A pickup beyond the two free ones is billed as an extra on-call bulky waste pickup, and automobile tires are limited to four per request, counted as a bulky item pickup.
The city and CR&R hold a free clean-up for Hemet residential customers on February 7, April 25, August 1 and November 7, 2026, from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., at the Hemet Public Library, 300 E. Latham Ave, entered from westbound Latham Ave. Bring a valid identification and proof of residency, unload your own vehicle, and place items inside the containers provided while children and pets stay in the car, because the site closes promptly at noon. Sofas, chairs, refrigerators, water heaters, washers, dryers, mattresses, other household items, bundled tree limbs, green waste, metals and electronics are accepted, up to four tires without rims. Automotive parts, engines, propane tanks, cleaners, gas and oil containers, fluorescent lights, batteries, paints, lumber, fencing, construction debris and any hazardous material or liquid are refused.
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.

Self-haul in Hemet means Riverside County's Badlands Sanitary Landfill at 31125 Ironwood Avenue in Moreno Valley, or Lamb Canyon at 16411 Lamb Canyon Road in Beaumont, both open 6 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday and closed on the county holiday schedule. Neither site takes household hazardous waste, and an uncovered or unsecured load is surcharged. Mattresses and box springs are free at either site for up to five pieces per residential customer per day when they are carried separately from trash, up to two CRT televisions or monitors per day are free, and appliances and tires are limited to four and five pieces per day.
