Some items just won't fit in your trash container. In that case, call 744-4087 to schedule a free "bulky item" pick-up of old appliances (except electronic equipment), mattresses, rolls of carpet, furniture and more.  After making your appointment, simply set your bulky items next to your trash cans in front of  your property, on your regular trash day by 7 a.m.

If you are paying for refuse service with the City of Pasadena, you are entitled to two free bulky item pickups per year, per property.  Additional pickups are available for a fee, ranging from $35 to $125, depending on the size of the load and the type of items. The bulky item program is very popular, hauling in 3,200 tons of bulky refuse this year alone.

If you're doing a cleaning out your garage or have other major clean-up work, you can also rent a three-cubic-yard city dumpster for $89. It has to stay on your property, out of sight of passers-by, and can be moved to the street on pick-up day only. For more information, call 744-4087.
