The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Tustin contracts CR&R Incorporated for trash and recycling, and every single family household gets up to four bulky item collections a calendar year with up to four items in each at no additional cost. Mattresses, box springs, sofas, chairs, desks, patio furniture, appliances, tires and swing sets are all named common bulky items, while a refrigerator needs its own collection because of the Freon and electronic waste cannot go in a cart at all. Household hazardous waste moves through two free CR&R events a year or a county collection center, and construction material runs through the city's waste reduction program instead.
A mattress and a box spring are named common bulky items and are collected at no additional cost for a single family household.

Get it ready

Air conditioners, dishwashers, microwaves, refrigerators, stoves, washers, dryers and water heaters are named bulky items, while a refrigerator needs its own collection because of the Freon.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the four bulky item collections a year for a single family household at up to four items per pickup, with no additional cost. A refrigerator or another appliance holding Freon is a separate collection the hauler describes as charged, and a multifamily collection carries a fee.
When & how
Book the bulky collection with CR&R at (714) 372-8272, and book a refrigerator or another Freon unit on its own special collection because of the chemicals it holds.
Get it ready
Empty the appliance and secure a door that could trap a child, keep it out of all three carts, and never set a Freon unit out with a routine bulky pile.
Electronic waste is anything with a circuit board or a battery, it cannot go in a cart, and the hauler collects and recycles it.
City cost & eligibility
The hauler collects and recycles electronic waste and publishes no separate price, while a refrigerator or another Freon unit is described as a charged collection, so confirm with CR&R at (714) 372-8272 whether the pickup counts inside the four free bulky collections. The county alternative is free to Orange County residents, and televisions, computers and phones are accepted at the collection centers.
When & how
Call CR&R at (714) 372-8272 to arrange the collection, or take televisions, computers and phones to the Irvine county collection center Tuesday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Get it ready
Keep electronic waste out of all three carts because that is illegal, erase personal data from a computer, phone or drive before it leaves your hands, and route loose batteries to a hazardous waste event or center instead of a cart.
Construction and demolition material is not a bulky item, and covered projects divert at least 65 per cent of it through the city's waste reduction program.
City cost & eligibility
No container or gate rate is published in the city documents that were retained. A covered project submits a Waste Reduction and Recycling Plan through Green Halo, with the security deposit collected together with a $242 application fee before the permit is issued and refunded once 65 per cent diversion is demonstrated. Confirm container pricing with CR&R at (714) 372-8272 or with the processing facility.
When & how
File the Waste Reduction and Recycling Plan through Green Halo before the permit is issued, order a temporary container from CR&R or self-haul to an authorized facility, upload weight tickets during the project and submit the final compliance report before the final inspection.
Get it ready
Keep construction and demolition material off the bulky route and out of the carts, separate material types so recyclables can be recovered if you self-haul, and remember the permit applicant is responsible for delivering material to an authorized facility.
Exercise equipment is not named among the common bulky items, so the hauler confirms the machine before it is scheduled.
City cost & eligibility
No bulky item line or price covers an exercise machine, so describe it to CR&R at (714) 372-8272 before booking. The bulky program allows four items per pickup, so confirm that a crew can take the machine before it goes out.
When & how
Call CR&R with the machine type and size and book it only once the hauler confirms it.
Get it ready
Fold or tie down the deck and handles, remove any console or battery pack so it can be handled separately, and keep the machine out of the three carts.
A single family household gets up to four bulky item collections a calendar year, each with up to four items, at no additional cost.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Up to four bulky item collections per calendar year for a single family residential customer, with up to four items per pickup and no additional cost. A multifamily household arranges a collection through its property manager and that collection carries a fee.
When & how
Schedule with CR&R at (714) 372-8272, and a free pickup of pure recyclable materials such as bundles or bags of recyclables, flattened cardboard and paper can be booked the same way.
Get it ready
Keep each pickup to four items, keep everything out of the three carts, and keep household hazardous waste, batteries, electronic waste and construction material off this route entirely.
A single family household gets up to four bulky item collections a calendar year with no more than four items in each, at no additional cost, and a free pickup of pure recyclable materials such as bundled recyclables, flattened cardboard and paper can be booked beside them. Multifamily residents arrange a collection through their property manager and pay a fee.
Weekly collection uses three carts: black for regular waste, green for grass and plant material with food waste allowed since July 1, 2021, and blue for clean recyclables such as paper, cardboard, aluminum and glass. If a scheduled service day falls on or after a major holiday, collection may be delayed by one day for the remainder of that week.
Hazardous waste, batteries and electronics stay out of the carts
Household hazardous waste is illegal in any CR&R container, and that includes batteries of all types and sizes. Electronic waste is anything with a circuit board or a battery and is also illegal in the carts, construction material is not a bulky item, and a refrigerator or another Freon unit needs its own charged collection.
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.

Arrange it

A household with a television, computer, monitor, corded device or a refrigerator or other appliance holding Freon.
Cost & conditions
The city describes the Freon appliance collection as charged without publishing an amount, and electronic waste is collected by the same hauler with no separate price published, so confirm the terms and whether the pickup counts inside the four free bulky collections at (714) 372-8272.
Arrange it
Call CR&R at (714) 372-8272 to arrange the collection and confirm how the device or unit is prepared before it goes out.

Self-haul to Olinda Alpha or Prima Deshecha Landfill
A household with a vehicle load of construction debris, furniture, a mattress or another bulky item the curbside collection will not take.
Cost & conditions
From $15 for the public disposal fee for an auto, minivan or SUV load under 360 pounds at an Orange County landfill. Pickup trucks, utility vans and cargo vans under 880 pounds are charged $30.00, an added $15.00 applies to hard-to-handle items longer than six feet such as wood, furniture and mattresses, and vehicles carrying more than 880 pounds are charged $92.70 per ton or $107.70 per ton with hard-to-handle material.

Olinda Alpha Landfill is at 1942 N. Valencia Ave in Brea, where public disposal opens at 7 a.m., and Prima Deshecha Landfill is at 32250 Avenida La Pata in San Juan Capistrano. Both sites are closed on major holidays, and the county asks residents to check the individual site for the day's hours, so confirm the closing time on 714-993-0372 in Brea or 949-728-3040 in San Juan Capistrano.
Loads must be tarped or secured because that is the law, the landfills close on major holidays, and Frank R. Bowerman Landfill in Irvine allows no public disposal. Treated wood is refused at Olinda Alpha and accepted at Prima Deshecha.

Arrange it
Order the container from CR&R customer service at (714) 372-8272, and file the project's Waste Reduction and Recycling Plan through Green Halo before the permit is issued.
