Athens removes bulky items, including major appliances and furniture, on request only through a Bulky Item Request. Bulky items and electronics must not be placed in the trash containers, and the hauler states that doing so may cause an interruption in service.
City cost & eligibility
The local page publishes no bulky item fee. The county mattress program states that most county haulers serving unincorporated areas, the garbage disposal districts and the residential franchise areas provide free bulky item pickup for mattresses, furniture and appliances, so confirm whether the pickup is covered and what the limits are with Athens at (888) 336-6100.
When & how
Submit a Bulky Item Request with Athens, or call customer service at (888) 336-6100, and set the items out only for the appointed day. Customer service answers Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Get it ready
Keep bulky items out of the carts, because the hauler may interrupt service for a cart that contains them, and keep the pile clear of the travel path. Automobile parts, construction and demolition debris such as dirt, concrete, tile, drywall and rock, hazardous waste, and loose or scattered building material and lumber are not accepted in a bulky pickup.
The hauler's bulky request form lists microwave ovens, air conditioners, dishwashers, washers and dryers, freezers, refrigerators, kitchen stoves and water heaters, and the local page states that Athens removes major appliances on request.
City cost & eligibility
No appliance rate is published locally. The county states that most unincorporated area haulers provide free bulky item pickup for appliances, so confirm the pickup and any limit on the number of appliances with Athens at (888) 336-6100.
When & how
Submit a Bulky Item Request for the appliance, then set it out on the appointed day. Customer service answers Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Get it ready
Empty the unit, secure the doors, and take off hoses and cords before the pickup. Keep appliances out of every cart, and do not take them to a county household hazardous waste collection point, because white goods such as refrigerators, stoves and washing machines are refused there.
A refrigerator and a freezer are named explicitly on the hauler's bulky item request form and covered by the local statement that Athens removes major appliances on request. County household hazardous waste collection refuses white goods, so the cooling appliance routes through the bulky pickup.
City cost & eligibility
No refrigeration unit rate is published locally. The county states that most unincorporated area haulers provide free bulky item pickup for appliances, so confirm the pickup and whether a refrigeration unit counts separately with Athens at (888) 336-6100.
When & how
Submit a Bulky Item Request for the refrigerator or freezer and set it out on the appointed day rather than on a regular collection day.
Get it ready
Empty the unit, keep the doors closed or secured for the crew, and leave the refrigerant work to the hauler. Do not take the unit to a county household hazardous waste collection center and do not put it in a cart, because white goods are refused at those points and appliances do not belong in the container streams.
Submit the Bulky Item Request with Athens first, then put the items out only for the appointed day. Keep bulky items and electronics out of the carts, because the hauler states that a cart containing them may interrupt service, and keep automobile parts, construction and demolition debris, hazardous waste and loose building material out of the pile entirely.
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.
Los Angeles County Public Works with Athens Services
Request a bulky item pickup from Athens
A South Whittier household with furniture, a mattress, an appliance or another large item that will not fit in a cart.
Cost & conditions
The local page publishes no bulky item fee, while the county states that most haulers serving unincorporated areas provide free bulky item pickup for mattresses, furniture and appliances. Confirm the pickup and any limits with Athens at (888) 336-6100.
Arrange it
Submit a Bulky Item Request or call Athens, then set the items out for the appointed day rather than on a normal collection day.
The pickup is by request only, so a pile left out without an appointment can conflict with the county container placement ordinance. Automobile parts, construction and demolition debris, hazardous waste, and loose or scattered building material and lumber are refused.
South Whittier households mostly stay with the hauler. Request a bulky item pickup from Athens at (888) 336-6100 for furniture, a mattress or an appliance, and use the county mattress recycling program if a free drop off or retailer take back is easier. Paint, solvents, batteries, automotive fluids, pesticides, pool chemicals, fluorescent bulbs, medical waste, medicines, used motor oil and electronic waste go to the free Los Angeles County collection events, permanent centers or S.A.F.E. centers, with a trip limit of 15 gallons or 125 pounds and a refusal list that includes trash, tires and white goods. Construction and demolition material has no curbside route at all, so the container comes from Athens, and nothing hazardous should ever be left out with a cart.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in South Whittier.
How much does appliance removal cost in South Whittier?+
A full-size household refrigerator is $109 as a single item. A washing machine is $109, and a dryer is $109. Other appliances have their own catalog prices. Choose each item to see your exact total before booking; disposal and recycling costs are included in the item price.
Can I get same-day appliance pickup in South Whittier?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Checkout shows the dates you can choose. Your pickup is scheduled for a day rather than an exact arrival appointment, and we text you before arrival. Have the appliance disconnected and ready outside by your pickup readiness time.
Can you take a washing machine and dryer in one pickup?+
Yes. Add one Washing machine and one Dryer so both units are included in the price. They are separate items, even when you bought them as a set. If yours is a single combined unit or the machines still need to be unstacked, contact us before booking to confirm the scope.
Will you disconnect my appliance or carry it out?+
Dropcurb picks up appliances that are already disconnected and accessible outside at ground level. Arrange uninstallation, utility disconnection and indoor carrying before pickup. Use a qualified professional for gas, hardwired or plumbing connections when needed. We handle loading and haul-away from the outdoor pickup spot.
Can I book if the delivery company did not take my old appliance?+
Yes. Dropcurb pickup is separate from buying or installing a replacement, so you can book removal on its own. Select the old appliance, choose a pickup day and arrange for it to be disconnected and accessible outside. If your new delivery is still ahead, confirm the retailer’s haul-away arrangements before booking a separate pickup.
How do I schedule a bulky item pickup in South Whittier?+
Submit a Bulky Item Request to Athens Services, or call (888) 336-6100. The pickup is by request only, so nothing should go to the curb before the appointed day, and bulky items and electronics in a cart can interrupt service. Automobile parts, construction debris, hazardous waste and loose building material are refused, and the county states that most unincorporated area haulers provide the pickup free.Official guidance

The Athens bulky request form accepts microwave ovens, air conditioners, dishwashers, washers and dryers, freezers, refrigerators, kitchen stoves and water heaters, and the local page says Athens removes major appliances on request.

How do I get rid of a refrigerator in South Whittier?+
Request a bulky item pickup from Athens at (888) 336-6100.

Mattress recycling is free through the county program, and the county household hazardous waste events and centers are free for county residents. Dropcurb prices a pickup separately and shows the total before payment.Official guidance
Who collects trash in South Whittier?+
South Whittier is an unincorporated community, so Los Angeles County Public Works runs the franchise and Athens Services has been the hauler for South Whittier and the neighboring unincorporated communities since September 1, 2025. Athens customer service answers at (888) 336-6100, and the collection day changes effective Monday, October 5, 2026.Official guidance
