If you have a bulky item you need gone, there is a simple procedure in place to properly remove some of the unwanted or broken clutter from your life.
Waste Management has reinstated its free bulky-item collection on the third Saturday of every month. Residents must call Resident Services at 949-597-4600 prior to setting out bulky items. Place items near your trash enclosure or the same location where you place your trash carts on Friday night or before 7 a.m. on Saturday.
In-home bulky-item pickup remains suspended until further notice due to coronavirus-imposed social distancing practices.
