Local rules that affect your junk

Sunland and Tujunga 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]
  • Red Flag days. On LAFD-declared Red Flag days, parking is banned on posted streets in Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones, and illegally parked vehicles are towed.[12]
  • Unincorporated Sunland. LA County lists Sunland among the unincorporated communities whose residents get one free bulky item drop-off a year at Sunshine Canyon, with proof of residence. Check which jurisdiction your address is in.[13]

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.

Sunland-Tujunga: questions

Is Sunland-Tujunga part of the City of Los Angeles for trash service?

Yes. Sunland-Tujunga 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 Sunland-Tujunga?

Sunland-Tujunga 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 Sunland-Tujunga?

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 Sunland-Tujunga?

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.

Can you take soil or dirt from a backyard in Tujunga?

Send photos first. Dirt is heavy, so it's priced differently from household junk and there's a limit to how much one load can carry. LASAN won't take dirt, concrete or bricks at the curb. Our concrete and dirt guide lists the other options.

What do I do with a pile of cardboard in Sunland?

If LASAN collects your trash, flatten and tie it and book a Move-In/Move-Out extra pickup at least one business day before trash day, with each bundle under 30 pounds. If it's mixed in with other things in the backyard, a crew can take the whole pile at once.

Is there anything different about parking in the hills here?

On LAFD Red Flag days, parking is banned on posted streets in Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones, and cars there are towed. If your street is posted, we'll plan the visit around it.
