Local rules that affect your junk

Pacoima and Arleta is inside the City of Los Angeles, so LA Sanitation (LASAN) and citywide rules apply.

  • Bulky items. LASAN picks up furniture and other oversized items at the curb for free, with no stated limit, for homes of 1 to 4 units it services.[4] You have to book at least one business day before your regular trash day,[4] through MyLA311 or LASAN's customer care line.[4] Crews only take what's listed on the work order, so name every item.[5]
  • Moving boxes. A separate Move-In/Move-Out pickup takes bags and boxes on trash day if you call a business day ahead; each piece has to weigh 30 pounds or less, with cardboard flattened and tied.[6]
  • Fridges and washers. LASAN's metal appliance pickup is free for its curbside customers; list each item and take fridge and freezer doors off first.[5] Refrigerant can only be removed by a state-certified appliance recycler or an EPA-certified technician.[7],[8]
  • Mattresses go out as bulky items[4] or to a free Bye Bye Mattress drop-off site.[9]
  • Yard trimmings. LASAN households get one free brush and yard-trimmings pickup a year, in tied bundles no longer than 4 feet.[10] Clean, untreated wood and trimmings can also go in the green bin.[11]
  • Dirt, concrete and bricks are on LASAN's won't-take list, along with paint and other hazardous items.[4]

When a crew makes more sense

Book the city pickup when time is on your side. Call a crew when the stairs or the backyard carry are the hard part, the deadline is close, or the pile mixes things the city treats differently. Send photos of what's going and your ZIP, and we'll reply by text with a price.

Local guides

Pacoima and Arleta: questions

Is Pacoima part of the City of Los Angeles for trash service?

Yes. Pacoima is a City of Los Angeles neighborhood, so LA Sanitation (LASAN) runs curbside trash, the free bulky item pickup and the S.A.F.E. hazardous waste centers there. Book bulky items at least one business day before your trash day and list every item.

How quickly can you get to Pacoima?

Pacoima is about 6 miles in a straight line from our yard on Victory Blvd in North Hollywood. Same-day service most days when you reach us by early afternoon; next-morning slots are common. Send photos early in the day and you'll hear back with a price and the times we have open.

How do I get a price for junk removal in Pacoima?

Text us photos of what's going and your ZIP code, and we'll reply with a price. Wide shots help more than close-ups. Mention stairs, a long backyard carry, and where a truck can park. There's no need to sort anything first.

Where can I drop off paint, batteries or an old TV near Pacoima?

The East Valley S.A.F.E. Center on Randall Street in Sun Valley and the North Valley S.A.F.E. Center on Balboa Blvd. in Northridge take household hazardous waste and electronics free, Saturdays and Sundays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., up to 15 gallons or 125 pounds per visit.

Do you cover Arleta as well as Pacoima?

Yes. Arleta and Pacoima share ZIP 91331 and both are City of Los Angeles neighborhoods, so the same free city options and the same crew from North Hollywood apply.

Can you take a bedroom set from inside the house?

Yes. We take beds apart, carry the frame, dresser and mattress out from the room and load them. You don't need to move anything to the curb first. Tell us about stairs or a tight hallway when you send photos.

Will you take a little concrete with the backyard junk?

Tell us about it when you send photos. Concrete is heavy and priced differently from regular junk, and LASAN won't take concrete, bricks or dirt at the curb. Our concrete and dirt guide covers the other routes.
