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.

Bulky item pickups

Accepted with preparation

Bulky items are removed on request, with reuse and donation encouraged first and nothing set out before the hauler confirms the pickup.

City cost & eligibility
Neither the City nor the hauler publishes how many bulky items a West Covina household may set out, how often, or whether there is a charge, so no amount can be quoted. Submit the bulky item request form and confirm the item count and any cost when the customer service representative calls back.
When & how
Submit the bulky item request to Athens Services, whose customer service team responds within one business day, and hold every item until the confirmation call arrives.
Get it ready
Consider reuse or donation first, because the hauler encourages it. Keep the pile free of automobile parts, construction and demolition debris, hazardous waste and loose or scattered building material and lumber, none of which are accepted.
Hauler West Covina residential page with container exclusions, the bulky item program and holiday tree collectionBulky item request form page with the one business day response and the confirmation call ruleCity environmental services with hauler services, electronic waste events, sharps, senior discount and organics ordinance

Appliances

Accepted with preparation

Major appliances are named in the bulky item program, so they are removed on request rather than left at the curb with the carts.

City cost & eligibility
The hauler names major appliances inside the bulky item program but publishes no allowance or charge for West Covina, so confirm the appliance and any cost when the request is confirmed.
When & how
Submit the bulky item request and wait for the confirmation call before the appliance goes out.
Get it ready
Keep the appliance out of the carts, keep it clear of the sidewalk and driveway, and take the doors off a refrigerator or freezer so children or animals cannot be trapped inside.
Hauler West Covina residential page with container exclusions, the bulky item program and holiday tree collectionBulky item request form page with the one business day response and the confirmation call rule

Televisions and electronics

Accepted with preparation

Electronic waste never goes in the carts, and the City runs free collection events at the maintenance yard while the county runs its own free program.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free electronic waste collection at the City events at the Public Works Maintenance Yard, and free disposal through the Los Angeles County household hazardous and electronic waste program.
When & how
The City holds electronic waste collection events at the Public Works Maintenance Yard at 825 South Sunset Avenue from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on its published Saturdays, and the county publishes a calendar of collection events around Los Angeles County.
Get it ready
Keep electronics out of all three carts, because the hauler lists electronic waste as material that must not go in the containers and says it may interrupt service. Wipe personal data from a computer, phone or drive before it leaves your hands.

Construction and demolition debris

Not on the regular city route

Construction and demolition debris is refused in the carts and in the bulky program, so project loads need a container or a permitted self haul.

City cost & eligibility
The hauler refuses construction and demolition debris in both the containers and the bulky item program and publishes no resident rate for it, so confirm the load and any charge with Athens Services, which offers roll off box and rent a bin services to residents and businesses. Households that haul their own material instead need a self hauler permit from the City first.
When & how
Arrange the container or the self hauler permit before the project generates debris, because nothing from a project goes out with the carts or a bulky pickup.
Get it ready
Keep dirt, concrete, tile, drywall, rock and loose building material out of every cart and off the bulky pile, and keep hazardous material from the project out of the load because it is refused as well.

Exercise equipment

Special rules apply

Exercise equipment is not named in the bulky program or the container rules, so the machine is confirmed with the hauler before it goes out.

City cost & eligibility
No published category or rate covers exercise equipment. The bulky program names furniture and major appliances and the container rules list what must stay out, so describe the machine on the bulky item request and confirm whether it is accepted and what it costs.
When & how
Submit the bulky item request with the machine type and wait for the confirmation call before setting it out.
Get it ready
Take the machine down as far as it will come apart, keep the loose weights and parts with it, and keep it clear of the sidewalk and driveway while it waits for the pickup.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Nothing goes out until the hauler confirms

A bulky pickup is arranged through the hauler's request form, and customer service responds within one business day. The hauler asks residents to refrain from putting any items out until they have received the confirmation call, and it encourages reuse or donation before setting anything out at all.

Electronics and chemicals go to the free programs

Electronic waste must stay out of the carts and is collected free at the City's maintenance yard events and through the Los Angeles County household hazardous and electronic waste program. The City also runs annual household hazardous waste roundups and a sharps container program at the Cortez Park Community and Senior Center.

City of West Covina Environmental Services and Athens Services

Bulky item pickup by request

Households with furniture, a major appliance or another large item that cannot go in the carts.

Cost & conditions
The City and the hauler describe the bulky item service but publish no item allowance or fee for West Covina, so confirm the item count, the pickup and any charge when customer service calls back within one business day.
Arrange it
Submit the bulky item request form, then wait for the confirmation call before setting anything out, and keep the material clear of sidewalks and driveways.

Automobile parts, construction and demolition debris, hazardous waste and loose building material and lumber are not accepted, and putting bulky items or electronics in the carts may interrupt service.

City of West Covina Environmental Services and Athens Services

Move-in, move-out and summer cleanup service

Households clearing a home at a move, or taking part in a seasonal cleanup.

Cost & conditions
The City names move-in and move-out services and summer cleanup events among the hauler's West Covina services without publishing terms or rates, so contact Athens Services to confirm what the service covers and what it costs.
Arrange it
Call the hauler's customer service line, which answers from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 7 a.m. to noon Saturday, to arrange the service.

The same material exclusions apply, so project debris, hazardous waste and automobile parts still have to go elsewhere.

See the City service list

Taking it somewhere yourself?

West Covina households can self haul, but they have to be set up for it. Business owners and residential householders who want to collect and dispose of their own solid waste and recyclables instead of using the City's authorized hauler must first obtain a self hauler or back hauler permit from the City and follow the procedures under the City's organics ordinance. Electronic waste and household hazardous material are easier through the free programs: the City's collection events at the Public Works Maintenance Yard handle electronics, and the Los Angeles County household hazardous and electronic waste program runs events and reuse center days around the county for paint, batteries, oil, sharps, pharmaceuticals and small propane cylinders. Solar panels are not accepted at the county events or the permanent collection centers.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

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

How much does bulk junk removal cost in West Covina?

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.

Will the hauler take a mattress?

The bulky program names furniture and major appliances rather than a mattress, so mention the item on the request form and confirm it with customer service before setting it out.Official guidance

How do I get rid of a washer, dryer or refrigerator?

Major appliances are named in the hauler's bulky item program, so submit a bulky item request and confirm the item and any charge on the callback. Do not put the appliance in the trash container, because the hauler asks residents to keep bulky items and appliances out of the carts.Official guidance

Is there help when moving in or out?

The City names move-in and move-out services and summer cleanup events among the services Athens provides to West Covina residents. Contact the hauler to arrange one of those services and confirm what it covers and any charge.Official guidance

Where does construction debris go?

Where do used needles go?

The county household hazardous waste program also lists sharps disposal.Official guidance

What does the organics rule require?
