The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Aliso Viejo runs on a franchised hauler: CR&R collects the carts and handles the on-call work. The city's own guide says anything that will not fit in the automated carts counts as a bulky item, that it has to be manageable by a two-person crew, and that CR&R picks bulky items and white goods up from the curb once you call. Universal waste such as batteries, televisions and monitors never goes in a cart, and larger bins from three yards up to forty yards are available for clean-outs and renovations. Any construction project in the city carries a diversion requirement as well.
The city guide treats every item that will not fit in the automated carts as a bulky item, picked up on call by CR&R, and the rate sheet prices an on-call pickup covering up to four items.

City of Aliso Viejo single family dwellings served by the CR&R franchise. The same rate sheet lists the earlier 1 July 2025 rate for the same line, so confirm the current charge when you call.
When & how
Call CR&R customer service at (877) 728-0446 to book the on-call bulky item pickup, and put the item at the curb for the day they give you. Carts go out by 6:30 am, but a bulky item waits for its own booked day.
Get it ready
A bulky item has to be manageable by a two-person crew, so empty the unit, keep it dry and whole, and leave it where the crew can reach it. Keep anything outside the carts that is not booked off the curb, because the city guide says items placed outside of carts will not be collected.
Furniture that will not fit in the carts is a bulky item under the city guide, collected from the curb by CR&R on call and priced per pickup of up to four items.

City of Aliso Viejo single family dwellings served by the CR&R franchise. The same rate sheet lists the earlier 1 July 2025 rate for the same line, so confirm the current charge when you call.
When & how
Book the pickup with CR&R at (877) 728-0446 and set the furniture out on the day they confirm. Do not leave furniture beside the carts on an ordinary collection day, because the guide says items outside the carts are not collected.
Get it ready
Keep each piece within what a two-person crew can manage, take loose cushions and drawers off and bag them, and clear the set-out spot of obstructions. If the load is bigger than four items or a clean-out, ask CR&R about a larger container instead.
The guide states that white goods, and appliances containing Freon, are picked up like a bulky item and that CR&R collects bulky items and white goods from the curbside.
City cost & eligibility
$34.88 per single family dwelling bulky item on-call pickup of up to four items, which the city guide applies to white goods, at the rate effective 1 July 2026. City of Aliso Viejo single family dwellings served by the CR&R franchise. Confirm the unit and the current charge with CR&R when you book, because the rate sheet also lists the earlier 1 July 2025 figure.
When & how
Call CR&R at (877) 728-0446 to book the white goods pickup, and set the appliance out on the confirmed day.
Get it ready
Empty and defrost the unit, secure or remove the doors, and keep the appliance whole so the crew can handle it. A refrigerator holds Freon and other chemicals, so it stays on the booked route rather than being left with the carts.
Televisions, monitors and other electronic waste are universal waste that cannot go to the landfill or recycling center, so they are separated from the carts and collected through CR&R or the county centers.
City cost & eligibility
The city sheet requires a special pickup arranged by phone and the rate sheet lists a separate residential additional pick up line without tying it to universal waste, while the county centers publish no drop-off fee. Confirm the item and the current charge with CR&R at (877) 728-0446 or at the county center before you load.
When & how
Call CR&R at (877) 728-0446 to arrange the universal waste special pickup and describe the exact items and quantities, or take the device to an Orange County household hazardous waste collection center, open Tuesday to Saturday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and closed on major holidays and rainy days.
Get it ready
Keep the screen whole, wipe or reset anything that stores data, and never put a television, monitor or battery in a cart. At a county center the waste is accepted from Orange County residents only, with a maximum of 15 gallons or 125 lbs per vehicle per trip and containers no larger than 5 gallons, and tires, asbestos, ammunition, explosives, high-pressure cylinders and commercial waste are refused.
Every construction project in Aliso Viejo is covered by Municipal Code chapter 7.15, which requires at least 65 per cent diversion of construction and demolition waste with permits, deposits and receipts.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no curbside construction rate because construction and demolition material does not ride the curbside service. The permit packet sets a performance deposit tied to the project and requires receipts from CR&R or a State Certified Disposal Facility, so confirm the deposit and the hauling charges with the city and the receiving facility.
When & how
Submit the recycling and waste reduction form before or with the building permit, haul the material to CR&R or a State Certified Disposal Facility as the project proceeds, and file the compliance form within 60 calendar days after the final building inspection.
Get it ready
Separate recyclable and reusable material from landfill material and keep the receipts and weight tickets, because the compliance form has to be supported by proof of recycling. Treated wood, drywall, roofing and concrete each need confirming with the receiving facility, and paint, thinners and stains do not go in the debris pile: the county collection centers take oil or latex based paint, strippers, thinners, turpentine and stains from county residents.
Exercise equipment is named in no city or county list, and it is not universal waste, so the item has to be confirmed with the hauler before it leaves the property.
City cost & eligibility
No published rate covers an exercise machine. If CR&R accepts it, the work falls under the bulky item service, so confirm the item and the current charge at (877) 728-0446 before the pickup.
When & how
Call CR&R at (877) 728-0446 with the machine type and weight before booking, and use the on-call bulky item day they confirm rather than leaving it beside the carts.
Get it ready
Break the machine down where you can and keep every piece within what a two-person crew can handle, then ask whether any console, screen or battery has to be handled as universal waste instead of riding with the frame.
Anything that will not fit in the automated carts is a bulky item under the city guide, collected from the curb on call, and larger containers from three yards to forty yards are available for bigger loads.

City of Aliso Viejo single family dwellings served by the CR&R franchise. Larger containers are priced separately, and the same rate sheet lists the earlier 1 July 2025 rate for the bulky line.
When & how
Book the pickup with CR&R at (877) 728-0446 and set the load out for the confirmed day, because items left outside the carts on an ordinary collection day are not collected. For a clean-out or renovation, ask about the larger containers instead.
Get it ready
Keep the load within what a two-person crew can manage and within up to four items per pickup, and separate universal waste, batteries, paint, chemicals and construction debris, because none of those ride a bulky item load. Carts go out by 6:30 am on the collection day with the handles and wheels facing the home, about 1 foot apart and at least 3 feet from obstructions, and come back in within 12 hours after service.
Carts go to the curbside no later than 6:30 am on collection day, with the handles and wheels facing toward the home, side by side about 1 foot apart and at least 3 feet from any obstruction such as a fire hydrant or a tree. Carts come back in within 12 hours after service, and items placed outside of carts are not collected.
A bulky item is anything that will not fit in the automated carts and that a two-person crew can manage, and CR&R collects bulky items and white goods from the curbside by arrangement. The rate sheet prices the on-call pickup for up to four items, and larger containers from three yards to forty yards can be ordered for clean-out projects.
Batteries, thermostats, fluorescent tubes, cathode ray tubes such as televisions and monitors, high intensity discharge and sodium vapour lamps, aerosol cans that are not completely empty, mercury items, electronic waste, medications and sharps cannot go to the landfill or the recycling center and have to be separated from the trash and recycling containers. Special pickup arrangements are made by calling CR&R at (877) 728-0446 with the exact items and quantities.
Municipal Code chapter 7.15 requires recycling, reuse or diversion of at least 65 per cent of the construction and demolition waste from every project in the city. The recycling and waste reduction form goes in before or with the building permit, a performance deposit is held, and the compliance form has to be filed within 60 calendar days after the final building inspection with receipts and proof of recycling from CR&R or a State Certified Disposal Facility.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
