Across Orange County
We work all over the county, from Brea and Fullerton in the north to San Clemente at the south end, and from the beach cities inland to Irvine, Tustin and Mission Viejo.
Our city pages explain who collects the trash in each place and how its bulky item program runs, so you can see the low-cost route before you call anyone.
What we haul, and what no hauler may take
We haul the things that make a room, garage or yard hard to use: furniture from sectionals to dining sets, mattresses and box springs, appliances such as washers, dryers and refrigerators, and hot tubs. We also take on whole jobs: garage cleanouts, estate cleanouts, yard waste like branches and palm fronds, and the construction debris a remodel leaves behind.
Household hazardous waste goes to the county's centers
Some of what piles up in a garage is not junk in the legal sense. OC Waste & Recycling puts it this way: "Leftover household products that contain corrosive, toxic, ignitable or reactive ingredients are considered Household Hazardous Waste." CalRecycle says it is illegal to put that waste in the garbage, down a storm drain or on the ground. It covers paint, cleaners, motor oil and antifreeze, batteries of every size, pesticides, some pool chemicals and propane tanks. No junk hauler may take it in California; it belongs at a county collection center.
Orange County residents drop it off free at four centers: Anaheim (1071 N. Blue Gum St.), Huntington Beach (17121 Nichols Lane, Gate 6), Irvine (6411 Oak Canyon) and San Juan Capistrano (32250 Avenida La Pata). They are open 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday, and close on major holidays and in rainy weather. The limit is 15 gallons or 125 pounds per vehicle per trip, no container may hold more than five gallons, and the centers accept nothing from businesses, schools or nonprofits. A resident who cannot get to a center can call the county at 714-834-4000 about its Door-to-Door service.
Electronics, tires, fridges and asbestos
California bans TVs, monitors, laptops, printers, microwaves and cell phones from the trash, and the same county centers take that e-waste. Tires are banned from the trash as well, and none of the county landfills accepts them. Under EPA rules, household refrigerators, freezers and window air conditioners carry special disposal requirements, and the last party in the disposal chain must make sure the refrigerant is recovered first. Asbestos is on the refused list at the Olinda Alpha and Prima Deshecha landfills and at the HHW centers alike, so never bag it up with the rest of a pile.

How junk disposal works in Orange County
The county runs three active landfills. Frank R. Bowerman in Irvine is commercial-only, so the county's fee page lists just two sites for public disposal. Olinda Alpha sits at 1942 Valencia Ave. in Brea and Prima Deshecha at 32250 Avenida La Pata in San Juan Capistrano, and both open Monday through Saturday. They take waste only from Orange County residents and businesses, so bring a driver's license or a utility bill showing your county address. Check the county's landfill updates before a trip: on November 7, 2026, picketing near the landfills had closed Prima Deshecha to public self-haul, while Olinda Alpha stayed open with long waits.
Hauling it yourself has a price too. Under the public fee schedule in effect from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, a pickup truck or van carrying less than 880 pounds pays $30.00, plus an extra $15.00 for hard-to-handle items longer than six feet, such as furniture or mattresses. California Vehicle Code sections 23114 and 23115 require the load to be covered so nothing spills, drops or blows out on the way.
Your city's bulky item pickup
Trash service here is set city by city, and each city below offers residents bulky item pickups through its trash hauler. Anaheim's Republic Services guide allows three a year of up to 20 items each. Huntington Beach allows four a year with up to 10 items each. WM's Irvine guide lists four free collections a year, Mission Viejo lets residents set up to five large items at the curb three times a year, and San Clemente and Tustin, both served by CR&R, offer four a year.
Those programs have limits worth knowing. Santa Ana's refuses hazardous waste, construction and demolition waste, tires, car bodies and any single item two workers cannot handle. Huntington Beach's turns away TVs, pallets and construction debris. In apartments, Tustin sends residents to the property manager to arrange a collection and charges complexes a fee, and Garden Grove asks them to work out the pickup spot with property management.
Mattresses have low-cost routes of their own. When a new mattress is delivered, California law requires the retailer to offer to take the old one back at no additional cost, and participating Bye Bye Mattress sites take used ones at no additional cost too.
When a paid pickup makes sense
Use the city program and the county centers when they fit the job. A paid pickup earns its place when the load is more than the program allows, when the items are inside the house, upstairs or out back rather than at the curb, when the pile is remodel debris the city will not collect, when a move-out or a sale sets the deadline, or when you simply have no truck for a landfill run.

Getting ready for a pickup
A little prep gets you a quote that matches the job and a pickup with no surprises on either side.
- Photograph the whole pile. Start with one wide shot that shows everything, then get closer shots of the big pieces. Something familiar in the frame, like a door or a trash cart, makes the size easy to judge.
- Say where it sits. Tell us if things are upstairs, in a back bedroom, behind a side gate or at the bottom of a steep driveway, and whether the street or alley out front is narrow.
- Set the hazardous stuff aside. Move paint cans, solvents, pool chemicals, propane tanks and batteries to one corner for a trip to a county center.
- Empty what you can. Clear out drawers and cabinets, and empty the fridge or freezer before we arrive.
- Mark what stays. In a garage or estate cleanout, tag or move anything you are keeping so nothing gets loaded by mistake.
- Check with your HOA. Some associations have rules about where a truck may park or when work can happen, and it helps to mention them when you ask for a quote.
When the photos are ready, send them through the quote form, or call (657) 822-0016 and walk us through it. The how it works page covers the rest.
Questions people ask
What do you take?
Furniture, mattresses and box springs, appliances, hot tubs, yard waste and construction debris, plus full garage and estate cleanouts. If you are not sure about one item, include it in your photos and ask.
What can't any junk hauler take?
Household hazardous waste: paint, solvents, motor oil, antifreeze, batteries, pesticides, pool chemicals and propane tanks. Orange County residents take those to one of the county's four collection centers in Anaheim, Huntington Beach, Irvine and San Juan Capistrano. The hazardous waste guide lists what each center accepts.
How does a quote work?
Send photos through the quote form or to help@ocfastjunkremoval.com, or call (657) 822-0016 and describe what you have. We base the quote on what the items are, how much there is and where they sit.
Which cities do you cover?
All of Orange County, including cities like Anaheim, Irvine, Santa Ana, Huntington Beach and San Clemente, and unincorporated communities such as Ladera Ranch and Rossmoor. The service areas page has the full list.
How do I get rid of a mattress or a fridge legally?
A mattress can go back to the store that delivers your new one, to a Bye Bye Mattress drop-off site, out on a city bulky item pickup or onto a hauler's truck. A fridge should never be dumped or left on the street, because its refrigerant has to be recovered before it is scrapped; many city bulky programs list refrigerators, and some charge a fee for them. The mattress guide and the refrigerator guide walk through each option.
Does my city pick up bulky items?
Many Orange County cities do, through the company that collects your trash, with a cap on pickups each year and on items each time. You book it with that hauler, and the items go out to the curb. The bulky item pickup guide compares the largest cities' programs.
