A clear count. An exact price.

Count the bags and boxes, not everything inside.

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.

Mattresses and box springs

Accepted with preparation

A mattress and a box spring are named common bulky items and are collected at no additional cost for a single family household.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the four bulky item collections a single family residential customer gets each calendar year, with up to four items per pickup at no additional cost. A multifamily household arranges a collection through its property manager and that collection carries a fee.
When & how
Schedule the collection with CR&R at (714) 372-8272, and have the mattress at the collection point on the day the hauler sets.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress inside the four item limit and out of all three carts, and keep it clear of the sidewalk and any shared access.
Bulky items: four collections a year, four items each, and the common item list

Couches, chairs and household furniture

Accepted with preparation

Chairs, a desk, patio furniture, a sofa and a table are named common bulky items.

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 and no additional cost, with a free pickup of pure recyclable materials available as well.
When & how
Schedule the collection with CR&R at (714) 372-8272, or book the free pickup of bundled recyclables, flattened cardboard and paper when the load is clean recyclable material.
Get it ready
Keep the pieces inside the four item limit and out of the three carts, and confirm the collection day with CR&R before anything goes out.
Bulky items: four collections a year, four items each, and the common item list

Household appliances

Accepted with preparation

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.
Bulky items: four collections a year, four items each, and the common item listElectronic waste list and the charged Freon appliance collection

Televisions, computers and electronics

Accepted with preparation

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

Not on the regular city route

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.
Construction and demolition debris diversion requirements and the Green Halo process

Exercise equipment

Special rules apply

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.
Bulky items: four collections a year, four items each, and the common item list

City of Tustin with CR&R Incorporated

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.
Arrange it
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.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Tustin keeps almost everything on the curbside route first. Three carts are collected every week, and a single family household gets four bulky item collections a calendar year with up to four items in each at no additional cost, covering mattresses, box springs, sofas, chairs, desks, patio furniture, tables, appliances, tires and swing sets. Anything outside that route has a destination: a refrigerator and other Freon units are collected by CR&R on a charged special collection, household hazardous waste and batteries are collected at two free CR&R events a year or at one of Orange County's four year-round centers, and construction and demolition material runs through the city's Waste Reduction and Recycling Plan with at least 65 per cent diversion, a temporary CR&R container, or a self-haul load at Olinda Alpha Landfill in Brea or Prima Deshecha Landfill in San Juan Capistrano, where public loads are charged by vehicle size or weight and must be covered.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Tustin.

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Tustin?

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.

How many bulky collections does a Tustin household get?

Up to four bulky item collections a calendar year for a single family residence, each with up to four items, at no additional cost. Multifamily residents arrange a collection through the property manager and pay a fee for it. Schedule with CR&R at (714) 372-8272.Official guidance

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.

Is a mattress collected in Tustin?

Yes. A mattress and a box spring are both named as common bulky items, and a single family household gets four bulky item collections a calendar year with up to four items in each at no additional cost. Schedule it with CR&R at (714) 372-8272.Official guidance

What furniture does a Tustin bulky pickup take?

Chairs, a desk, patio furniture, a sofa, a table, a box spring and a mattress are all named common bulky items, with porcelain products, shipping crates, suitcases, swing sets, toilets and tools also on the list. A single family household gets four collections a calendar year of up to four items each.Official guidance

How is a refrigerator handled in Tustin?

A refrigerator is named as a common bulky item, but it also contains Freon and other chemicals that need special handling, and CR&R collects those units from the curb for a nominal charge. Call CR&R at (714) 372-8272 to arrange the collection and confirm the price before it goes out.Official guidance

Can a television go in the Tustin carts?

No. Electronic waste is anything with a circuit board or battery, and it is illegal to put it in any automated cart. CR&R collects and recycles these items, with scheduling at (714) 372-8272, and the county collection centers take televisions, computers and phones free from Orange County residents.Official guidance

What does Tustin require for construction debris?

At least 65 per cent of construction and demolition waste has to be diverted, so a project applicant files a Waste Reduction and Recycling Plan before the permit is issued and, since July 6, 2026, tracks it through Green Halo with weight tickets and a final compliance report. CR&R processes the material so recyclables come out before landfilling, or a self-hauler reports tonnage by material type to an authorized facility.Official guidance

Is a treadmill collected in Tustin?

Exercise equipment is not named among the common bulky items, which list appliances, furniture, barbecues, bicycles, containers, porcelain products, shipping crates, suitcases, swing sets, tires, toilets, tools and toys, so call CR&R at (714) 372-8272 and describe the machine before booking it.Official guidance

Who collects trash and bulky items in Tustin?

CR&R Incorporated collects trash and recycling for the city and answers at (714) 372-8272. A single family household gets up to four bulky item collections a calendar year with up to four items each at no additional cost, and Public Works can be reached at (714) 573-3150 or tustinrecycles@tustinca.org for service concerns.Official guidance

Where can Tustin residents take paint, batteries and other hazardous waste?

Household hazardous waste is illegal in any CR&R container, and that includes batteries of all types and sizes. CR&R hosts two free collection events a year for Tustin residents, generally in May and November, with the next one on November 14, 2026 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Orange County's four year-round collection centers also take hazardous waste from county residents.Official guidance
