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.

Bulky items and furniture

Accepted with preparation

Couches, chairs, beds, washers, dryers, stoves, lawnmowers, wood and similar large household items are collected at the curb by appointment, and the free pickup allowance is confirmed with the hauler.

City cost & eligibility
The City states that single family residents get four free curbside bulky item collections a year of up to eight items each, while the FY 2026-27 rate schedule that accompanies the amended franchise agreement prices additional pickups beyond three a year and each item beyond ten. The two published versions do not match, so confirm the free count and the item allowance with Republic Services at (714) 238-3300 when the pickup is booked.
When & how
Book the pickup with Republic Services at (714) 238-3300, and put the items at the curb, because the published bulk note is that items must be placed at curbside.
Get it ready
Keep the pile to items on the accepted bulk list, and keep paint, tires, construction and demolition debris, dirt and rock, roofing material, medical sharps, a piano, a spa, a camper shell, cast iron bathtubs, fencing, sheds and gazebos, propane tanks, drums and barrels, and animal carcasses out of it, because those are all refused. Tape the glass on a mirror or a table top.

Appliances

Accepted with preparation

Appliances are their own accepted category, so a refrigerator, freezer, air conditioner, water heater, washer, dryer or stove is collected at the curb.

City cost & eligibility
Appliances ride the same curbside pickup allowance as other bulky items, and the City page and the rate schedule describe that allowance differently, so confirm whether the pickup is free and how many items it covers when you book with Republic Services at (714) 238-3300.
When & how
Book the pickup with Republic Services at (714) 238-3300 and set the appliance at the curb on the confirmed day.
Get it ready
Tape the doors shut or remove them on a refrigerator or freezer before disposal, because the published note requires that for safety. Keep the appliance at the curb rather than inside a cart, and keep white goods out of a landfill load because appliances are refused there.

Televisions and electronics

Accepted with preparation

Televisions, computers, monitors, microwaves, copiers, fax machines and stereos are collected at the curb for residential accounts, and Orange County residents can also drop electronics free at a household hazardous waste center.

City cost & eligibility
Electronics ride the same curbside pickup allowance as other bulky items, which the City page and the rate schedule describe differently, so confirm whether the pickup is free and how many items it covers when you book with Republic Services at (714) 238-3300. The county household hazardous waste centers take electronic waste free instead, and the closest one to Placentia is the Anaheim center.
When & how
Book a curbside pickup at (714) 238-3300, or take the material to a county household hazardous waste center between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.
Get it ready
Keep batteries and electronic waste out of all three carts, because batteries are a leading cause of fires in the waste system and cannot go to a landfill. Clear personal data from a computer, phone or drive before it leaves the property, and expect a per trip transportation limit at the county center.

Construction and demolition debris

Not on the regular city route

Construction and demolition material is not part of the curbside program, so a project load moves through a three yard to thirty yard rental container and the City's diversion rules apply to the project.

City cost & eligibility
The hauler's materials sheet marks construction debris as not applicable to residential and commercial accounts and lists construction and demolition debris among the unacceptable bulk items, so nothing from a project goes in the carts or on a bulky pile. The City lists three yard to thirty yard rental containers for residential cleanups and removal of construction debris, and the rate schedule prices a temporary three yard container with the dump included, which sits in its own option.
When & how
Order the container with Republic Services before the work starts, and file the waste management plan with the City when the project type requires one.
Get it ready
Keep boards, drywall, tile, roofing material, concrete, dirt, rock and demolition debris out of the carts and off the bulky pile, keep paint, solvents and treated wood separate for a household hazardous waste center, and keep clean inert material apart from mixed debris.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Placentia has no city transfer station or public dump, so the self-haul route a resident actually uses is the county household hazardous waste program. The closest center is the Anaheim Collection Center at 1071 N. Blue Gum Street, free for Orange County residents, open Tuesday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and closed on major holidays and during rainy weather, where paint, solvents, cleaners, motor oil and filters, antifreeze, batteries, fluorescent bulbs, pesticides, pool supplies, thermostats, expired medicine and consumer electronics are accepted within a limit of 15 gallons or 125 pounds per vehicle per trip.

A construction or cleanout load goes into one of the three yard to thirty yard rental containers the City lists for residential cleanups and construction debris, and a covered project also has to meet the City's 65% diversion requirement and file its waste management plan.

A few things
worth knowing.

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

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Placentia?

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.

What can go out on a bulky pickup?

How do I book a bulky pickup?

Call Republic Services at (714) 238-3300. Ask the representative to confirm how many pickups are free for the year and how many items each one covers, because the City page and the rate schedule give different counts, and have the items at the curb for the confirmed day.Official guidance

Are refrigerators and water heaters collected at the curb?

Yes. The published appliance category accepts water heaters, refrigerators, freezers and air conditioning units, and washers, dryers and stoves appear on the bulk list. Everything is placed at the curb for the collection rather than in a cart.Official guidance
