Cost & conditions

Arrange it

The sites refuse trash and tires, white goods such as refrigerators, stoves and washing machines, explosives and ammunition, marine flares, radioactive materials, controlled substances and solar panels, so appliances and tires go through the bulky pickup instead.
South Whittier households mostly stay with the hauler. Request a bulky item pickup from Athens at (888) 336-6100 for furniture, a mattress or an appliance, and use the county mattress recycling program if a free drop off or retailer take back is easier. Paint, solvents, batteries, automotive fluids, pesticides, pool chemicals, fluorescent bulbs, medical waste, medicines, used motor oil and electronic waste go to the free Los Angeles County collection events, permanent centers or S.A.F.E. centers, with a trip limit of 15 gallons or 125 pounds and a refusal list that includes trash, tires and white goods. Construction and demolition material has no curbside route at all, so the container comes from Athens, and nothing hazardous should ever be left out with a cart.
