Anaheim trash & bulky-item rules
Anaheim’s current residential bulky service is appointment-based through Republic Services. Eligible households receive up to three free bulky-item collections per calendar year, with as many as 20 items per scheduled pickup.

Quick answer
Anaheim’s program is generous compared with many cities, but it is not an unlimited on-demand curb pile. Residents schedule the pickup through Republic Services and use one of the household’s three annual appointments.
The City states a limit of up to 20 bulky items per appointment. Schedule through Republic Services at (714) 238-2444 or the City’s Republic Services page. Once the three annual pickups are used, they renew at the start of the next calendar year; the City also allows bulky collections to be arranged consecutively.
Furniture, mattresses and household bulky material
Typical bulky household items such as furniture and appliances are handled through the program when they meet the current accepted-item rules. The resident is responsible for getting the item to the curb; the collection crew does not enter the home to remove it.
If you are clearing an entire property, count the pieces before booking so you do not exceed the 20-item appointment limit or use an appointment unnecessarily.
Appliances, electronics, tires and hazardous items
Electronics, refrigerant appliances, chemicals, paint and batteries can require different disposal routes or preparation. Ask Republic/City staff when booking if a special item is part of the load.
Do not mix hazardous waste into a bulky pile unless the current Anaheim instruction expressly allows it.
Renovation debris and larger cleanouts
Construction debris from a remodel should not be assumed to count as household bulky furniture. Use an approved debris service or facility for heavy building material.
Anaheim’s bulky program works best for discrete household items, not loose contractor waste.
