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.
A bulky pickup is booked, and the items go to the curb
Call Republic Services at (714) 238-3300 to book the pickup, then put the items at the curb, because the published note for the bulk program is that items must be placed at curbside.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Mattress removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Placentia.
How much does mattress removal cost in Placentia?+
The price depends on the mattress size you choose. A queen mattress is $99 as the first item and $30 as an additional item. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Add any box spring or frame separately, then review your total and any applicable tax before payment.
Can I book same-day mattress pickup in Placentia?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup. Choose from the dates shown at checkout. Have the mattress outside and accessible according to your confirmation. Your booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time, and we text you when your hauler is on the way.
Is my box spring or bed frame included in mattress removal?+
The mattress price covers the mattress only. Add your box spring, bed frame or adjustable base separately if those are going too. Choose the size and type that match each item. The combined price appears before booking.
Will you carry my mattress downstairs or out of my apartment?+
Dropcurb starts outside. You arrange to move the mattress out of your apartment and down interior stairs before pickup. We load it and take it away from an accessible outdoor spot. Check your building’s access rules before arranging the move outside.
Can you pick up my old mattress when my new one arrives?+
You can choose an offered pickup day around your replacement delivery. First check whether the retailer already includes old-mattress removal, and arrange who will bring it outside if needed. Dropcurb books a pickup day, not the retailer’s delivery window. Contact us before booking if access is limited to a short time.
