Large Item Collection

couch and cabinetsCMSD solid waste customers can request convenient curbside collection of large or bulky items at their home. Each customer household is eligible for three (3) complimentary pickups per year with ten (10) items collected during each pickup.

To schedule a pickup, please call CR&R Customer Service at (949) 646-4617 Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m or submit an online request. At the time of scheduling, you will be asked for the list of items to be collected and CR&R will provide your pickup date. Pickups do not occur immediately; rather, they may be scheduled one or more weeks from your initial request, depending on availability. Please note that CR&R will not collect any items that are not specified at the time the pickup is scheduled.  Items will be picked up by a separate truck from the weekly trash collection truck.

Before disposing of usable items, please consider donating them to local thrift stores. You can receive a receipt for tax purposes, assist those less fortunate, and give your items a second life.
