Junk removal in Newport Beach

The city's 2022 recycling FAQ names CR&R Environmental Services as its waste hauler. CR&R does not bill homes directly, so extra services run through a CR&R Web Pak account at oss.crrinc.com. Bulky item pickup is one; you can also book it at 949-667-4158.

Two rules shape what you can do with a pile:

• Loose items wait for a booking. In the city's words, "Bulky item pickups are the only instance in which non-containerized waste is acceptable," citing Municipal Code 6.04.080.
• There is a charge for getting it wrong. The FAQ says that beginning May 1, 2022, a household with waste outside the CR&R carts is subject to a $2.47 fee for each instance after the first documented warning. CR&R will not pick up items left outside the carts.

The allowance is on the city's additional waste services page, as of November 2026: each household under the city's residential contract with CR&R may order up to five bulky pickups a year at no charge, with up to five items each, and more cost extra. Our bulky item pickup guide compares the programs across the county.

Newport Beach's green-lid organics cart takes leaves, grass, weeds and tree branches with a 1-inch diameter, plus tree clippings. Kept out of that cart: palm fronds, logs, stumps and yucca leaves; palm fronds go in the black-lid trash cart instead. For wood beyond small branches and clippings, the FAQ says to treat it as a bulky item pickup.

A big palm trimming or a torn-out fence is where yard waste removal helps.

Frank R. Bowerman, the county landfill in Irvine, is commercial-only and takes no public disposal. Residents hauling their own loads go to Prima Deshecha at 32250 Avenida La Pata in San Juan Capistrano, open Monday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., or Olinda Alpha at 1942 Valencia Ave. in Brea, open Monday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Under the fee schedule for July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, a pickup or van load under 880 pounds costs $30.00, and hard-to-handle items longer than six feet, such as furniture or a mattress, add a $15.00 fee.

On November 7, 2026, with picketing near the landfills, the county listed Prima Deshecha as closed to public self-haul and warned of long waits at Olinda Alpha. Read the county's updates page before loading the truck.

1. Show us the load. Take a few wide photos and close shots of anything heavy. Send them through the quote form or to help@ocfastjunkremoval.com, or call (657) 822-0016 and describe it. Mention a narrow alley or tight parking.
2. Get a quote. We price the job from the photos or the call, and you decide before anything moves.
3. We carry it out. The crew lifts the items you point to and hauls them off. Paint and chemicals stay behind for CR&R or a county center.

A crew makes sense for heavy pieces, a load too big to carry out yourself, items deep inside the house, or a move-out deadline. Typical jobs include furniture removal from a rental, a garage cleanout before a remodel, and an estate cleanout when a family home is being sold.
