A clear count. An exact price.

Count the bags and boxes, not everything inside.

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.

Annual bulky item pickups

Accepted with preparation

A Murrieta residence with curbside cart service gets two free bulky item collections a calendar year, and the allowance also covers extra green waste. The hauler names couches, washers, dryers and refrigerators as bulky examples, and additional pickups are available at a nominal cost.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Two free bulky item collections a calendar year for a residence with Waste Management curbside cart service, including extra green waste, with further pickups available at a nominal cost. A property with a city self-haul permit is not eligible, because the program is funded through the service fee.
When & how
Contact Waste Management before the regular collection day to schedule. The city asks for at least 24 hours notice and the hauler's welcome packet asks for at least 48 hours, so allow two days when the pickup matters.
Get it ready
Keep the bulky items together at the curb for the scheduled day, separate any extra green waste, and leave everything out of the carts and away from the cart path. Hazardous waste, construction and demolition debris, car bodies and anything one person cannot handle are not bulky items, extra green waste must not go in plastic bags, and the city states that a size and amount limit applies to the free collection.
Residential services: collection schedule, bulky item pickup and self-haul optionMurrieta residential waste and recycling service guide

Couches and furniture

Accepted with preparation

A couch is one of the bulky items the hauler names by example, so furniture travels with one of the two free bulky collections rather than going to the curb on a normal trash day. Furniture is also on the refusal list for the trash cart.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Furniture is collected inside the two free bulky item collections a calendar year for a residence with curbside cart service. Additional pickups are available at a nominal cost, and the city states that a size and amount limit applies.
When & how
Schedule the collection with Waste Management before the regular collection day and allow two days, then put the piece at the curb for the scheduled pickup, not on a regular trash day.
Get it ready
Keep the piece out of the trash cart, where furniture is refused, and off the sidewalk. Remove cushions and loose parts so nothing blows away, and leave the piece clear of the cart path so the automated truck can still reach the carts.

Mattresses

Special rules apply

A mattress is named as acceptable bulky waste at Murrieta's free community cleanup events, but it is not one of the bulky items the hauler names for the curbside pickup, so the curbside route needs a phone confirmation before the mattress goes out.

City cost & eligibility
A mattress is accepted at the free community cleanup events the city holds in the spring and fall. Waste Management's bulky examples name couches, washers, dryers and refrigerators rather than mattresses, so confirm a mattress with Waste Management at 866-909-4458 before adding it to one of the two free curbside pickups.
When & how
Take the mattress to a community cleanup event on the published Saturday at the City Hall rear parking lot, or confirm it with Waste Management and set it out on the scheduled bulky pickup day.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and out of the carts, bag or wrap it so it stays intact and does not blow around, and keep it clear of the sidewalk and the cart path. Ask about the box spring when you confirm the pickup.

Washers and dryers

Accepted with preparation

A washer and a dryer are named by the hauler as bulky item examples, so they go out with one of the two free collections. Large appliances are refused in the trash cart and appliances are also on the refusal list at the Riverside County household hazardous waste facilities.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Washers and dryers are collected inside the two free bulky item collections a calendar year for a residence with curbside cart service, subject to the size and amount limit the city states. Additional pickups are available at a nominal cost.
When & how
Book the pickup with Waste Management before the regular collection day and allow two days, then set the appliance out for the scheduled collection rather than on a regular trash day.
Get it ready
Empty the unit, tape or strap the doors closed, and take off hoses and cords that could catch during handling. Keep appliances out of the trash cart, where large appliances are refused, and keep the piece clear of the carts so the truck can still service them.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

For a bulky pickup day

Leave the bulky items and any extra green waste at the curb together for the scheduled day, keep them out of the carts and away from the cart path, and keep the sidewalk clear. Everything small enough has to be contained, because the hauler excludes loose material and anything one person cannot handle, and hazardous waste and construction material are not bulky items at all.

Murrieta residential waste and recycling service guide

For a community cleanup event

Load the vehicle and bring it to the City Hall rear parking lot on the published Saturday. The events accept appliances when a refrigerator is free of Freon, unusable furniture and mattresses, separated green waste bundled to no more than three feet, household trash, scrap metal and wood, so separate the load before the trip and leave hazardous waste for the county program.

Special services: community cleanup events and the ABOP drop-off center

For your Dropcurb pickup

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.

Take a load to a community cleanup event

A household with furniture, a mattress, an appliance, scrap metal, wood or bagged green waste that would rather deliver the load than schedule a pickup.

Cost & conditions
No charge. The annual community cleanup events are provided free to Murrieta residents. Attendees bring their own load to the City Hall rear parking lot on the event Saturday.
Arrange it
Watch for the spring and fall event date, separate the load at home, and drive it to the City Hall rear parking lot on the published Saturday.

The events take appliances only when a refrigerator is free of Freon, and the accepted list is unusable furniture and mattresses, separated green waste bundled to no more than three feet, household trash, scrap metal and wood. Household hazardous waste is not part of the event and belongs with the county program.

City of Murrieta Environmental Programs with Waste Management

Hold a self-haul permit for household loads

A Murrieta property that opts out of curbside subscription and hauls its own trash, recycling and organics, including a renovation load that the carts and the bulky pickup refuse.

Cost & conditions
A self-haul permit has an annual fee that the city publishes at $89.08 on the self-haul program page and its 2026 application and at $20 on the residential services page, so confirm the current amount and the landfill gate charge with the city Solid Waste Coordinator at (951) 461-6448.
Arrange it
Apply to the city Solid Waste Coordinator with the annual fee, then haul the material to a county operated landfill, a legitimate recycling facility or a certified organic waste processing facility, and keep the receipts.

The permit is valid for one calendar year, is not prorated, and requires proof of disposal at least once a month with receipts submitted by March 15, July 15 and November 15. Loads have to be secured in transport, and a property on a self-haul permit gives up the free bulky pickup and the curbside used oil service.

Open the Murrieta self-haul program page

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Murrieta handles most large items through the hauler and the county rather than a city transfer station. Waste Management collects bulky items inside the two free annual pickups and takes used motor oil from the curb free by appointment, up to two gallons a week with at least 24 hours notice. Household hazardous waste and electronics cannot be collected at all and go to the free Riverside County facilities, while the Murrieta ABOP center at 25315 Jefferson Avenue takes antifreeze, batteries, used oil and latex paint on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. A resident who wants to haul household material instead of subscribing holds a city self-haul permit, must dispose of it at a county operated landfill or an approved recycling or organic waste facility, has to keep monthly disposal receipts, and gives up the free bulky pickup and the curbside used oil service.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Murrieta.

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Murrieta?

A trash bag is $59 as the first item and $10 additional. A filled household box is $59 as the first item. Add your actual items and quantities to see the combined price before booking. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; any applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

Can you pick up bags of junk today?

Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the booked bags and boxes outside and accessible according to your confirmation. You receive pickup updates and completion photos; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.

Do I count every object inside a bag or box?

No. Count the filled bags or boxes using the matching choice. Books and media go in Filled household box; clothes, bedding and shoes go in Bag of clothes & bedding; packed toys have a Box of toys choice. Empty cardboard is separate, with individual empty boxes and bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Heavy, oversized or unusual contents need a photo review before booking.

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. There is no extra charge just because the pile is loose. Send a photo first if the count or contents are unclear. A household Dumpster Bag choice does not accept construction debris.

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. Move everything to an accessible outdoor spot before pickup; indoor carrying and sorting are not included. Keep anything you want to retain apart from the booked items and identify what goes in your photos and notes.

How many free bulky pickups does Murrieta allow?

Two free bulky item collections a calendar year for a residence with curbside cart service, and the allowance also covers extra green waste. Contact Waste Management ahead of the regular collection day to book it, allow two days because the city and the hauler publish different notice windows, and check the piece against the hauler's list, which names couches, washers, dryers and refrigerators and refuses construction debris, hazardous waste and anything one person cannot handle.Official guidance

Will Murrieta collect a couch at the curb?

Yes. A couch is one of the bulky items the hauler names, so it goes out with one of the two free bulky collections a calendar year once the pickup is scheduled. Furniture is refused in the trash cart, so it has to be booked ahead rather than left out on a normal collection day.Official guidance

Where can a mattress go in Murrieta?

The city's free community cleanup events list mattresses as acceptable bulky waste, so that is the confirmed route. The hauler names couches, washers, dryers and refrigerators as its bulky examples rather than mattresses, so call Waste Management at 866-909-4458 and confirm the mattress before putting it out for one of the two free curbside pickups.Official guidance

Will Murrieta take an old washer or dryer?

Yes. Washers and dryers are two of the bulky items the hauler names, so they go out with one of the two free bulky collections a calendar year. Schedule the pickup ahead with Waste Management, keep the piece out of the trash cart where large appliances are refused, and check the size and amount limit the city applies to the free collection.Official guidance

What does Murrieta charge to get rid of a large item?

Two bulky item collections a year are free for a residence with curbside cart service, further pickups cost a nominal amount, and the spring and fall community cleanup events and the county household hazardous waste program are free as well. Nobody publishes a rate for an extra bulky pickup or a construction load, so confirm those before the load moves. Dropcurb prices a pickup separately and shows the total before payment.Official guidance

When is the Murrieta community cleanup event?

The city holds a free cleanup event on a Saturday in the spring and a Saturday in the fall at the City Hall rear parking lot. Residents can bring a load of household items, including appliances when a refrigerator is free of Freon, unusable furniture and mattresses, separated green waste bundled to no more than three feet, household trash, scrap metal and wood.Official guidance

Does Murrieta require trash service for every property?

Yes. Every residential and business property has to have trash collection, and a resident who does not want service has to hold a city self-haul permit instead, with an annual fee, proof of disposal at least once a month recorded on receipts due in March, July and November, and disposal only at a county operated landfill or an approved recycling or organic waste facility. A property on a self-haul permit gives up the free bulky pickup and the curbside used oil service, so confirm the current fee with the city Solid Waste Coordinator at (951) 461-6448.Official guidance
