Your place. One easy pickup plan.
A house, a condo or an apartment. Choose an accessible outdoor spot that works for your property. You arrange the move outside; we take it from there.

A range, washer or dryer is a named bulky item, while a refrigerator or another unit holding Freon needs a separate special collection.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the three free bulky item pickups a calendar year, each covering up to ten large items. A refrigerator or another appliance holding Freon is a separate collection with special handling and no published price, and the hauler groups dishwashers and microwaves with electronic waste as charged collections.
When & how
Book a range, washer or dryer with CR&R at (949) 520-6005 for your regular collection day, and book a separate special collection for a refrigerator, freezer or other unit holding Freon.
Get it ready
Empty the appliance, remove or secure a door that could trap a child, and never set a unit holding refrigerant loose at the curb because it only moves on an arranged collection.
Keep each bulky pickup to ten large items a two-person crew can handle
A bulky pickup may include up to ten large items, and every item has to be something a two-person crew can handle and transport. Items that cannot fit in the carts are the ones that qualify, and residents of an HOA or a community with shared trash enclosures book through the HOA or property manager instead.
Hazardous waste, electronic waste and a Freon unit stay off the carts
Household hazardous waste is illegal in any cart, and electronic waste and universal waste are barred from every automated container as well. A refrigerator or another unit holding Freon needs a separate collection, and household hazardous waste moves through the two free pickups a year for single-family homes or through a county collection centre instead.
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 Lake Forest with CR&R Environmental Services
Book a free bulky item pickup
A residential household with up to ten large items, including couches, chairs, desks, tables, mattresses, ranges, washers and dryers that a two-person crew can handle.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Three free bulky item pickups per calendar year for a residential customer, with up to ten large items in each pickup. Additional pickups may be arranged for a nominal charge that no retained page states.
Arrange it
Book with CR&R at (949) 520-6005 or through the online scheduling service for your regular collection day, then set the items at the curb by 6:30 a.m. that day.
Bulky items have to be manageable by a two-person crew, and residents of an HOA or a community with shared trash enclosures schedule through the HOA or property manager. Hazardous waste, electronic waste, universal waste, construction material and a unit holding Freon do not ride this collection.
City of Lake Forest with CR&R Environmental Services
Arrange the special collection for a refrigerator or Freon unit
Households with a refrigerator, freezer or another appliance that holds Freon or other chemicals.
Cost & conditions
The hauler describes the Freon appliance collection as special handling with no published amount, and the city rate sheet prices only additional collections, so confirm the current charge with CR&R at (949) 520-6005 before the unit goes out.
Arrange it
Call CR&R at (949) 520-6005 to book the collection for your regular service day and confirm how the unit is prepared before it is set out.
Only the refrigerator or other unit holding refrigerant goes on this collection, and the appliance has to be empty with the door secured. A range, washer or dryer is a named bulky item and rides the free bulky entitlement instead.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Lake Forest.
How much does appliance removal cost in Lake Forest?+
A full-size household refrigerator is $109 as a single item. A washing machine is $109, and a dryer is $109. Other appliances have their own catalog prices. Choose each item to see your exact total before booking; disposal and recycling costs are included in the item price.
Can I get same-day appliance pickup in Lake Forest?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Checkout shows the dates you can choose. Your pickup is scheduled for a day rather than an exact arrival appointment, and we text you before arrival. Have the appliance disconnected and ready outside by your pickup readiness time.
Can you take a washing machine and dryer in one pickup?+
Yes. Add one Washing machine and one Dryer so both units are included in the price. They are separate items, even when you bought them as a set. If yours is a single combined unit or the machines still need to be unstacked, contact us before booking to confirm the scope.
Will you disconnect my appliance or carry it out?+
Dropcurb picks up appliances that are already disconnected and accessible outside at ground level. Arrange uninstallation, utility disconnection and indoor carrying before pickup. Use a qualified professional for gas, hardwired or plumbing connections when needed. We handle loading and haul-away from the outdoor pickup spot.
Can I book if the delivery company did not take my old appliance?+
Yes. Dropcurb pickup is separate from buying or installing a replacement, so you can book removal on its own. Select the old appliance, choose a pickup day and arrange for it to be disconnected and accessible outside. If your new delivery is still ahead, confirm the retailer’s haul-away arrangements before booking a separate pickup.
How is a refrigerator handled in Lake Forest?+
A refrigerator or another appliance holding Freon and other chemicals needs special handling, and the hauler collects it as a separate charged pickup rather than a routine bulky item, so book it with CR&R at (949) 520-6005. A range, washer or dryer is a named bulky item and rides the free bulky entitlement instead.Official guidance
Who collects trash and bulky items in Lake Forest?+
CR&R Environmental Services is the city's franchised hauler, with customer service at (949) 520-6005 and an online scheduling service for bulky items. A residential customer gets three free bulky pickups a calendar year of up to ten large items each, and the monthly cart rate depends on the size of the trash cart.Official guidance
