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.

When & how
Book the appointment by phone with the city and put the piece out for the collection day.

Mattresses are named in Ontario's acceptable bulky list, and the department's own annual metrics report more than three thousand mattress collections, so the unit leaves on a scheduled appointment.

Exercise equipment

Special rules apply

Exercise equipment is not named on Ontario's bulky list or at the household hazardous waste facility, so the route has to be confirmed with the city before the machine goes out.

City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no exercise equipment rate and does not name the category, so confirm the machine with the Integrated Waste Department before booking an appointment.
When & how
Call the city's Integrated Waste Department and, if the machine is accepted, book it into one of the four free bulky appointments.
Get it ready
Take the machine down only as far as the pieces can be handled, remove the console and any battery pack so the electronics can go to the hazardous waste facility instead, and keep the machine out of the carts.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Bulky items need an appointment, five items at most

Ontario bulky items are collected by appointment, and a single-family residence may schedule up to four a calendar year with no more than five large items in each. The city publishes two scheduling lines, (909) 395-2050 on the bulky item page and (909) 395-2800 on the Integrated Waste page. Apartment and condominium residents book through their property manager, and businesses pay a fee instead of using the residential allowance.

Four cleanup events a year take the awkward items

The city holds community cleanup events on Saturday February 7, Saturday May 9, Saturday August 15 and Saturday November 21 in 2026, from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. at 1425 S. Bon View Avenue. Besides the usual bulky material, the events take passenger car tires up to a maximum of four, scrap metal and wood waste including lumber, and about 70 per cent of what they collect is recycled. They are open to Ontario residents only.

The hazardous waste site is free, small and residents only

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Ontario runs its own programmes, so the routes are the city's rather than a hauler's. Curbside bulky items take an appointment, with four free collections a calendar year and no more than five large items each, covering furniture and mattresses, appliances and water heaters, bundled or bagged green waste, electronic waste and carpet; apartment and condominium residents book through their property manager. Four community cleanup events a year at the Public Works yard add passenger tires up to four, scrap metal and wood waste to the mix, and they are residents-only. Everything hazardous goes to the city household hazardous waste facility at 1430 S. Cucamonga Avenue on Fridays and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., free, with a 15 gallon transport limit in containers no larger than 5 gallons, and that site takes electronic waste and universal waste as well. Construction and demolition material has no city route at all, apart from wood waste at the cleanup events, so a renovation load needs a private container or receiving facility.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

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

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Ontario?

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 bulky item collections does Ontario allow?

Four free curbside collections a calendar year for a single-family residence, each limited to five large items, scheduled by phone with the city. Apartment and condominium residents arrange the collection through their property manager, and businesses pay a fee and cannot use the community cleanup events.Official guidance

Will Ontario collect a couch from the curb?

Yes, by appointment. Furniture is named in the city's acceptable bulky list, and Ontario residents get four free collections a calendar year with up to five large items each, scheduled by phone with the Integrated Waste Department.Official guidance

Does Ontario take mattresses as a bulky item?

Yes. Mattresses are on the city's acceptable bulky list alongside furniture, appliances, green waste, electronic waste and carpet, and they ride the four free collections a calendar year with up to five large items each.Official guidance

Will Ontario take an old refrigerator or water heater?

Yes. Appliances and water heaters are named in the city's acceptable bulky list and ride the four free collections a calendar year with up to five large items each. Confirm refrigerant handling when you book the appointment.Official guidance

Where do televisions and computers go in Ontario?

Two free routes. Electronic waste such as televisions, computers and stereo equipment is on the acceptable bulky list and can go on one of the four yearly appointments, or to the city household hazardous waste facility at 1430 S. Cucamonga Avenue, open Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., where computers, televisions, stereos, phones, radios and microwaves are accepted.Official guidance

Can a treadmill go out with Ontario bulky items?

Exercise equipment is not on the city's acceptable bulky list, which names furniture and mattresses, appliances and water heaters, green waste, electronic waste and carpet. Call the Integrated Waste Department and confirm the machine before booking an appointment.Official guidance

What does Ontario charge for bulky items and hazardous waste?

Nothing for a residential household: the city gives four free bulky item collections a calendar year and the household hazardous waste facility states there is no charge, while business bulky collections carry a fee. Construction debris is the exception, because there is no city route and a private company quotes the load. Dropcurb prices a pickup separately and shows the total at checkout.Official guidance

Who do I call about waste in Ontario?

The city's Integrated Waste Department answers at (909) 395-2800 and the bulky item page gives (909) 395-2050 for appointments, so either line reaches the department. The recycling hotline is (909) 395-2040, abandoned items on roadways are reported to Debris Removal at (909) 395-2639, and businesses needing hazardous waste service contact San Bernardino County at (909) 382-5401.Official guidance

Does Ontario require food waste in the green bin?

Yes. Since January 1, 2022 SB 1383 has applied to all Ontario residents, single-family homes and apartments or condominiums alike, and the existing green waste bin also collects food waste. Businesses and larger multi-family properties have their own obligations under AB 341 and AB 1826 and can subscribe to the city's services at (909) 395-2800 or file a waiver.Official guidance

Where are Ontario's waste rates published?

The Integrated Waste page links the current rates for Integrated Waste services effective November 1, 2025 and a rate effective July 1, 2026, so the published schedule is the place to check a cart or service charge rather than assuming one. Bulky collections for residents remain free within the four appointment allowance.Official guidance
