You do not need a whole house of junk. Select the bags, boxes and larger items you actually have. Your combined price is shown online.
You want to know it is handled.
When the next collection does not fit your plans, choose a Dropcurb pickup day. Updates keep you informed, and completion photos show when the booked items are gone.
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.

Every Temecula residence can arrange two free bulky item pickups a calendar year through CR&R, and the city and CR&R also run a citywide clean up for household waste and large debris.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Temecula residences on the CR&R franchise, with two free bulky item pickups a calendar year and four bulky items a year in total, and Temecula residents showing proof of residency at the citywide clean up.
When & how
Call CR&R at (800) 755-8112 between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. to arrange the pickup in advance, or book it through the CR&R online scheduling service, and put the items out on your regular waste collection day. Citywide clean up dates and locations are announced on the city trash and recycling page and the city calendar.
Get it ready
Keep the items outside and away from the carts, because bulky collection happens from the curbside on a normal collection day. Each call covers up to two items, automobile tires are limited to two per request, rubbish left after the four annual items can still be picked up for a nominal charge, and the citywide clean up refuses junk haulers and trailers.
CR&R counts a chair or a couch as a bulky item, so furniture moves through the two free bulky item pickups a Temecula residence can arrange each calendar year, or through the citywide clean up.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Temecula residences using one of the two free CR&R bulky item pickups a calendar year, with two items per call and four items a year in total, or Temecula residents with proof of residency at the citywide clean up.
When & how
Call CR&R at (800) 755-8112 between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. to book the pickup in advance, or use the online scheduling service, and leave the furniture at the collection point on your regular waste collection day.
Get it ready
Empty the drawers and take off cushions, glass tops and anything loose so two people can lift the item, and keep it clear of the carts, the mailbox and any parked car. Bulky collection happens from the curb on a normal collection day, and the citywide clean up takes large bulky items from residents only.
A mattress can go out as one of the two free bulky item pickups a Temecula residence can arrange, or be taken to a Riverside County landfill, where mattresses and box springs hauled separately from other waste are free up to five a day.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Temecula residences on the free CR&R bulky item pickup, or Riverside County residential customers hauling mattresses and box springs separately from other waste at the Badlands or Lamb Canyon landfill, up to five a day.
When & how
Book the curbside route with CR&R at (800) 755-8112, or take the unit to the Lamb Canyon Landfill on 16411 Lamb Canyon Road in Beaumont, open Monday through Saturday from 6:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and ask the county at (951) 486-3200 if you want the load confirmed before travelling.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress and box spring dry, out of every cart and separate from other waste on a landfill run, because a mattress mixed into a trash load is charged at the hard to handle rate. Lamb Canyon accepts mattresses for recycling from residential customers only.
Appliances sit inside the CR&R bulky item definition, but a refrigerant unit needs special handling and the county landfill schedule adds a per appliance surcharge, so the route and the amount have to be confirmed before booking.
City cost & eligibility
CR&R counts household appliances as bulky items, so the curbside route runs through the two free pickups a Temecula residence can arrange each calendar year, while the county landfill schedule charges a per appliance special handling rate for washers, dryers, refrigerators, stoves, water heaters, air conditioners and microwaves, limited to four appliances per customer per day. CR&R also describes a nominal charge for a curbside refrigerator or e-waste pickup. Confirm the unit, the route and the current amount with CR&R at (800) 755-8112 or (951) 943-1991.
When & how
Call CR&R at (800) 755-8112 between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. to arrange the appliance, or take it to the Lamb Canyon Landfill on 16411 Lamb Canyon Road in Beaumont, open Monday through Saturday from 6:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The city guidance also lists a Temecula recycling yard on Diaz Road that takes appliances.
Get it ready
Empty, clean and defrost the unit, secure or remove the doors, and confirm refrigerant handling before a refrigerator or freezer leaves the property, because cooling appliances cannot go into a cart or into the recycling load. Keep the appliance upright and clear of the carts and the street on a curbside collection day.
Electronic waste including televisions, monitors, computers and phones cannot go into a cart or into the landfill as ordinary refuse, and it goes to a Riverside County household hazardous waste facility free of charge, or out as a scheduled CR&R pickup.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Riverside County residential customers at a county household hazardous waste facility, which is free, including up to two cathode ray tube devices a day as a no charge load at a county landfill. A scheduled CR&R e-waste pickup is arranged separately.
When & how
Take electronics to the Lake Elsinore permanent household hazardous waste facility on 512 North Langstaff Street, open the first Saturday of each month except January, or call the county at (951) 486-3200 for the next mobile collection event. CR&R also schedules an e-waste or refrigerator pickup through its online scheduling service.
Get it ready
Keep televisions, monitors and computers out of every cart and wipe personal data from anything that stores it before the item leaves the house. The city's household hazardous waste guidance also lists a Temecula recycling yard on Diaz Road that takes appliances, electronic devices and e-waste, open Monday to Saturday.
No city or county page names exercise equipment, so a treadmill, elliptical or weight machine has to be confirmed as a bulky item before it is booked.
City cost & eligibility
Neither the city nor CR&R lists exercise equipment by name. CR&R defines a bulky item as anything that will not fit in the automated containers, so call CR&R at (800) 755-8112 to confirm whether the machine counts toward one of the two free bulky item pickups a residence can arrange each calendar year before booking, and ask whether the weight of the machine matters.
When & how
Call CR&R at (800) 755-8112 between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., or use the online scheduling service, and confirm the machine, its weight and the pickup day. The citywide clean up also takes large bulky items from residents who show proof of residency.
Get it ready
Take the machine apart only where it can be handled safely, keep the parts together and leave the load where the hauler can reach it without blocking the street or the sidewalk. Weight and size limits are set by the hauler, so confirm them when the pickup is booked.
The city keeps construction waste out of the recycling cart, and CR&R handles renovation material through roll-off containers and its construction and demolition processing network rather than the curbside carts.
City cost & eligibility
CR&R publishes no rate for a roll-off container or for construction and demolition debris, and the county landfill charges by load or by weight with a minimum load fee on non flat rate vehicles. Confirm the container size, the recycling documentation and the current landfill rate before the load moves.
When & how
Call CR&R to arrange a roll-off container for a project, or use the three yard temporary bin that is offered for clean up projects with a 500 pound limit, while larger containers from ten to forty yards are available for other disposal needs. A resident hauling a load can take it to the Lamb Canyon Landfill on 16411 Lamb Canyon Road in Beaumont, open Monday through Saturday from 6:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Get it ready
Keep construction waste out of the recycling cart, cover or secure every load that goes to a county landfill or a surcharge is added, and if the project is permitted, confirm any waste documentation the city requires before the debris leaves the site.
Temecula contracts with CR&R for trash and recycling, and each residence receives three automated containers: black for refuse, blue or grey for recyclables, and green for organics. Containers go to the curb or into the street by 6:00 am on the collection day, no more than 24 hours before collection, are removed within 12 hours after, and are stored out of public view. Containers provided by CR&R must be used, and items left beside the carts are not collected.
The two free bulky pickups run on your collection day
A Temecula residence can call CR&R to schedule a bulky item pickup two times a calendar year, with up to two items in each call, four items a year in total, and automobile tires limited to two per request. Additional pickups after the allowance can be provided for a nominal charge. Arrange it in advance at (800) 755-8112 between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., or through the CR&R scheduling service, and have the items out on the regular collection day.
The citywide clean up takes the big loads twice a year
The city and CR&R sponsor a citywide clean up for Temecula residents, who show proof of residency such as a California driver's licence, a California ID card, a recent utility bill or a property tax statement. Recent events ran from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and took large bulky items, green waste, motor oil, antifreeze, electronic waste, car batteries and small empty gas operated equipment, while household batteries, chemicals, empty drums, fluorescent light tubes, paint, pesticides, thermostats, tires, sharps and other hazardous waste were refused. Junk haulers and trailers are not permitted and are redirected to the Perris yard.
Riverside County runs the Lamb Canyon Landfill on 16411 Lamb Canyon Road in Beaumont and the Badlands Landfill on 31125 Ironwood Avenue in Moreno Valley, both open from 6:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Mattresses and box springs hauled separately from other waste are free up to five a day, up to two cathode ray tube devices a day are a no charge load, and other refuse is charged by load or by weight with a minimum load fee on non flat rate vehicles. An uncovered or unsecured load adds a surcharge, and hazardous waste is refused at the landfills.
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.

Two calls a calendar year, two items per call and four items a year in total, with automobile tires limited to two per request, and further pickups available for a nominal charge.

Household waste that will not fit the carts, brought by the resident to a privately operated transfer station that the county lists as open to the public. The city's clean up page sends junk haulers and trailers to the Perris yard.
The operator sets its own rates and operating hours rather than the county landfill schedule, so confirm both before loading. Household hazardous waste is not part of the residential collection programme and belongs at a county household hazardous waste facility.
The county publishes the operator's phone number rather than the hours, so call CR&R at (951) 943-1991 to confirm before travelling.
The county lists the Perris Transfer Station as privately operated and asks residents to call the operator at (951) 943-1991 for transfer station rates and operating hours, and CR&R publishes no rate on its city page. Confirm the load, the rate and the hours with CR&R before the trip.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Temecula.
How much does bulk junk removal cost in Temecula?+
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.
How many free bulky item pickups does a Temecula household get?+
Two pickups a calendar year, arranged with CR&R at (800) 755-8112 between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Each call can include up to two items, tires are limited to two per request, and the annual total is four bulky items per household.

Will a treadmill be taken as a bulky item in Temecula?+

Where does Temecula renovation debris go?+
Not into the recycling cart, which the city's own FAQ list excludes construction waste from.
