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.

Pasadena refuse customers can schedule two free bulky item pickups a year by calling 626-744-7311, and the load is limited to what would fill a three cubic yard bin and to items two people can safely lift.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Two free bulky item pickups a year for households with City of Pasadena refuse service. Extra items beyond the service order and any pickup beyond the two free ones in a calendar year are charged.
When & how
Call 626-744-7311 and schedule at least two weeks before the regular trash pickup day, then set the load out on the scheduled day between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. on a weekday. Bulky pickups are not scheduled on holidays.
Get it ready
Place everything on the parkway between the sidewalk and the street, no more than 24 hours before the scheduled day and by 7 a.m. that morning, because Code Enforcement can issue a citation for early set-out and city staff cannot move items off private property. Keep the pile within a three cubic yard bin, about four feet wide, five feet long and four feet high, and to items two people can lift safely.
Bulky items go on the parkway between the sidewalk and the street, in front of the house, and the resident has to put them there because city staff cannot enter private property. Nothing goes out before the pickup is scheduled, everything is out no more than 24 hours before the scheduled day and by 7 a.m. that morning, and early set-out can draw a citation from Code Enforcement. The pile may fill no more than a three cubic yard bin, about four feet wide, five feet long and four feet high, and each item has to be light enough for two people to lift safely.
Electronic waste such as televisions, DVD players, cellphones, gaming consoles, computers and monitors is refused, along with construction and roofing material such as concrete, cement, bricks, roof shingles, tiles and drywall, household hazardous materials such as paint, batteries, fertilizer, oil and cleaning supplies, landscaping project material such as dirt, sand, gravel, large branches and stumps, bushes and railroad ties, and automobile parts except up to two tires without rims. Refrigerators and air conditioning units are refused as well. Wood, pipe and branches must be no longer than three feet and tied into easy to handle bundles, and glass and mirrors should stay visible to the crew.
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.

Arrange it

A household with a one-time cleanout of ordinary household refuse that is too large for the bulky allowance and does not fit the refuse carts.
Cost & conditions
From $92.91 per load for a one week rental, with the city dumpster answer printing 92 dollars and 91 cents per load, the temporary bin answer printing 92 dollars and 95 cents, and an additional temporary bin pickup priced separately at 164 dollars and 85 cents. City of Pasadena refuse customers, with the published rates valid from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027.
Arrange it
Call the City Service Center on 626-744-7311 to schedule a three cubic yard bin or temporary bin service at least one week in advance, and confirm what may go in it.
The bin cannot take construction materials, electronic waste or household hazardous waste, so those loads go to an authorised franchise hauler or through the Green Halo process, and anything else the refuse programme refuses leaves by its own route.
