One dresser or a few pieces from different rooms, gone from the curb. Choose what goes, see the exact total and book by 2pm for same-day pickup. You don’t need to be home.
The desk you no longer use. The dresser that doesn’t fit the new layout. The chairs left over after a move. Choose the pieces you’re done with and give them a pickup day, without arranging a quote visit.
Different pieces. One clear total.
Add each furniture item and its quantity. See the combined price before you pay, with loading, transportation and disposal included.
Ready to have them gone?
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, or choose a future date at checkout. You arrange the move outside before pickup.
Know when they’ve been collected.
Get a text when your hauler is on the way and photos when the pickup is done. With everything outside and accessible, you don’t need to stay home.
You don’t need to guess how much space your furniture fills in a truck. Match each piece to the catalog, then add its quantity. Your total updates as you go.
Tables and chairs
Choose the table, then add each chair separately. Coffee tables, side tables and dining tables have their own options. A large or substantially heavy table has a different choice.
Dressers and mirrors
Match the dresser’s overall size. Add a separate dresser mirror as its own item if it is leaving too. Empty drawers and keep the belongings you want before moving the dresser outside.
Desks and bookshelves
Choose by construction, not height alone. A basic desk is different from a heavy desk with a substantial body. A tall, lightweight bookcase can still be a standard bookshelf. Empty it first.

Four free bulky pickups a calendar year are available, each taking up to four large items or four bags, scheduled for the regular collection day.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Each San Clemente resident customer can arrange four free bulky item pickups a calendar year of up to four large items or four bags of material, with additional pickups provided for a small fee published on the City rate sheet.
When & how
Book the pickup with CR&R at 877-728-0446 or through the hauler's online scheduling service, and it is collected on the regular waste collection day.

Keep items inside the published limits: no more than eight feet in length, four feet in width or 150 pounds, with no liquid, oil, gas or freon inside anything set out. Branches and wood bundle up to four feet long and 18 inches in diameter.
Every bulky pickup, including electronic waste and universal waste, is scheduled for the regular waste collection day, so the booking is only for a date you already have service. Book with CR&R at 877-728-0446 or through the hauler's online scheduling service, and keep the material inside eight feet in length, four feet in width and 150 pounds.
The rate sheet states that bulky material must not contain any type of liquid, oil, gas or freon, so drain gas and oil from small motorized equipment, empty appliances of liquid and confirm with the hauler how a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner should be handled before it is set out.
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.
