City collection A sofa and love seat booked together count as one item on the City's bulky item pickup, and a table and chairs counts as one item as well, so a furniture set leaves as part of the four item allowance. The pickup runs as an appointment on the regular collection day, with one truck taking the metal and another taking the non-metal items. No charge. Included with the residential collection service for one request in each two-month billing cycle, up to six requests in a calendar year, each taking up to four large items. A household that has already used the request allowed in that cycle pays the special pick-up rate for another one.
City collection The local mattress route is a free recycling drop-off at the collection site on East Ninth Street in Pomona, which takes residential mattresses and box springs with a ten unit ceiling, and Los Angeles County also runs free mattress collection events and requires retailers to take an old mattress back on delivery of a new one. No charge. Free drop-off for residents at the Pomona mattress collection site within a ten unit limit, free at Los Angeles County mattress collection events for residential material, and free retailer take-back on delivery of a new mattress by law.
City collection A refrigerator, stove or dresser is the City's own example of a single bulky item, and a washer and dryer booked together counts as one item, so an appliance leaves on the appointment pickup. The county household hazardous waste program refuses white goods such as stoves and refrigerators, so the bulky item pickup is the route that carries them. No charge. Included with the residential collection service inside the four item allowance and the one request allowed in each two-month billing cycle, up to six requests a calendar year. An extra pickup in the same cycle is billed at the special pick-up rate.
City collection A household may set out up to four large items at one appointment, arranged as two metal and two non-metal items, plus up to ten bundles of wood, tree limbs or carpet rolls. Six requests a calendar year are allowed with one free request in each two-month billing cycle, and the City refuses hazardous waste, tires, needles, motor oil, pesticides and herbicides. No charge. Included with the residential collection service for six requests a calendar year, limited to one request in each two-month billing cycle and to four large items or ten bundles at a time. Each additional pickup inside the same billing cycle is charged at the special pick-up rate and billed with solid waste charges.
The highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Pomona franchises all residential collection to Athens Services, and bulky material leaves the curb by appointment through the City's Bulky Item Collection program rather than on a fixed clean-up week. A household may request up to four large items at a time, arranged as two metal and two non-metal items, plus up to ten bundles of wood, tree limbs or carpet rolls, and the City allows six requests a calendar year with one free request in each two-month billing cycle. A refrigerator, stove or dresser is one item, a table and chairs counts as one, a washer and dryer counts as one, and paint, thinners, tires, needles, motor oil, pesticides and herbicides are refused. Televisions, monitors and other electronics cannot go to the landfill at all and go free of charge to Los Angeles County collection events, mattresses have their own free recycling drop-off on East Ninth Street, and construction debris moves in a rented container or a self-hauled load to the county facility that publishes a construction rate.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included with the residential collection service for one request in each two-month billing cycle, up to six requests in a calendar year, each taking up to four large items. A household that has already used the request allowed in that cycle pays the special pick-up rate for another one.
When & how
Call Athens Services at (888) 314-0061 to book. Items go out the night before or no later than 5:00 a.m. on the scheduled date, must be curbside by 6:00 a.m. and should stay out until 4:00 p.m. so both trucks can pass.
Get it ready
Keep the set together so it counts as one item, keep the items clear of parked cars and other obstructions, and keep hazardous waste, tires, paint and motor oil off the pile entirely, because the City refuses those on this service.
The local mattress route is a free recycling drop-off at the collection site on East Ninth Street in Pomona, which takes residential mattresses and box springs with a ten unit ceiling, and Los Angeles County also runs free mattress collection events and requires retailers to take an old mattress back on delivery of a new one.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free drop-off for residents at the Pomona mattress collection site within a ten unit limit, free at Los Angeles County mattress collection events for residential material, and free retailer take-back on delivery of a new mattress by law.
When & how
The Pomona collection site is open 6:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and 6:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Saturday. County collection events are advertised individually, and most events run on a Saturday.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress and box spring dry, take both pieces together when the household has a set, and remember that commercial hauler loads are not accepted at the county collection events, so a business has to use the commercial volume program instead.
A refrigerator, stove or dresser is the City's own example of a single bulky item, and a washer and dryer booked together counts as one item, so an appliance leaves on the appointment pickup. The county household hazardous waste program refuses white goods such as stoves and refrigerators, so the bulky item pickup is the route that carries them.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included with the residential collection service inside the four item allowance and the one request allowed in each two-month billing cycle, up to six requests a calendar year. An extra pickup in the same cycle is billed at the special pick-up rate.
When & how
Book with Athens Services at (888) 314-0061 and have the appliance curbside by 6:00 a.m. on the scheduled collection day, out the night before if that is easier, and leave it out until 4:00 p.m.
Get it ready
Empty and defrost the unit, secure or remove the doors on a refrigerator or freezer, and keep the appliance out of the carts and out of the household hazardous waste load, because the county program will not take white goods.
Pomona states that cathode ray tube products, monitors, televisions, stereo equipment, computers and cell phones cannot be disposed of at the landfill, and it routes households to Los Angeles County. The county takes household hazardous waste and electronic waste free at one-day collection events and at its permanent centers, inside a trip limit of 15 gallons or 125 pounds.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free to Los Angeles County residents at county collection events and permanent centers, with no appointment required, inside a limit of 15 gallons or 125 pounds per trip. Business electronic waste is not accepted at these events.
When & how
Most county collection events run on a Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The permanent centers keep their own windows, such as the first and third Saturday of the month at the Antelope Valley center and selected Saturdays at the Signal Hill center.
Get it ready
Pack electronics in a cardboard box, keep appliances and trash out of the load because they are refused, wipe personal data before handover, and stay in the vehicle at the event so staff can unload the trunk.
Construction and demolition material cannot go in any Athens cart or bin, and the City's bulky item service is for household items rather than remodeling loads. A project uses a rented roll-off container, or the material is driven to the county facility that accepts construction debris and publishes a tipping rate.
City cost & eligibility
No city rate covers construction debris, because the carts and the bulky item service both refuse it. A roll-off container is quoted by Athens Services, and a self-hauled load is weighed and charged by the ton at the county facility, so confirm the container price or the gate rate before the material leaves the site.
When & how
A roll-off container is delivered and collected on a date arranged with the hauler. The county facility is open Monday through Saturday from 4:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., closed Sunday and on major holidays.
Get it ready
Separate clean concrete, asphalt, brick, wood and soil where the household can, because the county publishes lower rates for clean separated loads and charges the hard to handle rate on contaminated green waste. Whole tires, liquids, paint, oil, treated wood, asbestos and e-waste are rejected at the gate.
Exercise equipment is not named in Pomona's bulky item list or in its single item examples, so acceptance has to be confirmed before a machine goes to the curb. A metal-heavy machine such as a treadmill may qualify as one of the two metal items inside a four item request, but the City does not publish that in writing.
City cost & eligibility
The City publishes no bulky item rate for exercise equipment and does not name the item, so ask Athens Services when the pickup is booked whether the machine counts as one of the two metal items in the four item allowance or needs a different arrangement.
When & how
Call (888) 314-0061 Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. or Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. to confirm the item and book, then have the machine curbside by 6:00 a.m. on the scheduled day if it is accepted.
Get it ready
Have the weight and the main material ready when calling, take off the console and any battery pack so the electronics are handled separately, and keep the frame clear of parked cars so the crew can reach it.
A household may set out up to four large items at one appointment, arranged as two metal and two non-metal items, plus up to ten bundles of wood, tree limbs or carpet rolls. Six requests a calendar year are allowed with one free request in each two-month billing cycle, and the City refuses hazardous waste, tires, needles, motor oil, pesticides and herbicides.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included with the residential collection service for six requests a calendar year, limited to one request in each two-month billing cycle and to four large items or ten bundles at a time. Each additional pickup inside the same billing cycle is charged at the special pick-up rate and billed with solid waste charges.
When & how
Book through Athens Services at (888) 314-0061. Items go out the night before or by 5:00 a.m. on the scheduled date, must be curbside by 6:00 a.m. and stay out until 4:00 p.m., and a metal truck and a non-metal truck collect on the same day.
Get it ready
Keep the four items within the two metal and two non-metal split, bundle limbs and carpet rolls rather than leaving them loose, and keep the pile clear of parked cars so both trucks can reach it. Anything the crew refuses stays the household's problem to remove.
Book the appointment and have the items curbside by 6 a.m.
Bulky items are collected by appointment on the regular collection day, so the request goes to Athens Services in advance. Items go out the night before or no later than 5:00 a.m. on the scheduled date, must be curbside by 6:00 a.m. and should stay out until 4:00 p.m., because one truck collects the metal items and a second truck collects the non-metal items later the same day.
A single appointment carries a maximum of four large items, and the split has to be two metal items and two non-metal items, with up to ten bundles of wood, tree limbs or carpet rolls allowed alongside them. A table and chairs counts as one item, a washer and dryer counts as one item, and a sofa and love seat counts as one item, which is how a household fits a set inside the four item ceiling.
The City does not accept hazardous waste materials on the bulky item service, including paint, paint thinners, tires, hypodermic needles, motor oil, pesticides and herbicides. The hauler also bars automotive parts, batteries, cleaning products, construction and demolition waste, fluorescent bulbs and tubes, electronic waste, medical waste, paints and solvents, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, pool chemicals, radiological waste, sharps, thermometers, thermostats and used motor oil from every container.
Chemicals and electronics go to the county, not the landfill
Electronics are banned from the landfill, and household chemicals are taken free at county collection events and permanent centers. Bring items in a sturdy box with lids sealed, keep products in their original containers and never mix them, and note that transporting more than 15 gallons or 125 pounds of hazardous waste in a personal vehicle is illegal. Households stay in the vehicle at the event while staff unload the trunk, and containers are left behind.
The county facility weighs every load at the scales and takes payment in cash, by credit or debit card or on a pre-arranged account, with no checks. Every customer outside a vehicle has to wear a safety vest, which can be bought at the scale house, loads are inspected, and the maximum unloading time is 30 minutes. Whole tires, liquids, hazardous material, oil, treated wood, asbestos, pharmaceuticals and e-waste are rejected.
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.

Pomona residential accounts that have already used the one no-charge bulky request allowed in that two-month billing cycle.
Arrange it
Ask Athens Services at (888) 314-0061 for the additional pickup in the same cycle, and it is scheduled on the regular collection day like the free request.
