Summary
Eastvale residents cannot set furniture, mattresses, or large tree limbs at the curb without first arranging pickup: Municipal Code Section 16.05.610 bars placing bulky waste in the street or right-of-way until the resident has scheduled collection with the city's franchised solid waste hauler.
No person shall place bulky waste adjacent to or in a street or public right-of-way for collection or removal purposes without first making arrangements with the appropriate solid waste franchisee for the collection or removal of such bulky waste. ... No container or item scheduled for bulky item pickup shall be placed adjacent to a street or public right-of-way for collection more than 12 hours before the scheduled collection time and shall be removed from the street or right-of-way location and stored out of public view within 12 hours after the scheduled collection time.
Official source re-checked September 7, 2026: no newer edition of the code had been published (publisher’s edition: Code of Ordinances: Supplement 16 Update 1).
Full Breakdown
020 defines bulky waste as solid waste that would not typically fit within a container, including furniture, carpets, and mattresses, along with oversized green material such as tree trunks and branches no larger than two feet in diameter and four feet long, discarded from a single-family dwelling; covered electronics such as TVs and computers are excluded because they are regulated separately as universal waste. 610 requires a resident to make arrangements with the city's solid waste franchisee before placing bulky waste in the street or right-of-way for collection.
110(c) caps how early it can go out: no container or item scheduled for bulky item pickup may be placed at the curb more than 12 hours before the scheduled collection time, and it must be removed and stored out of public view within 12 hours after collection. 220(b) allows the city's franchisee to provide on-call bulky waste collection and debris boxes to account holders on terms set in its franchise agreement with the city. 640; anyone else removing items left at the curb is violating the chapter.
Violations & Fines
Placing bulky waste at the curb without an arranged pickup, or leaving it out longer than the 12-hour before/after window, violates Chapter 16.05 and is punishable under Section 16.05.720 as set out in Chapters 1.01 and 8.17: a first infraction can draw up to a $100 fine, rising to $200 and $500 for repeat offenses in the same year, and the city may also pursue the matter as a misdemeanor under Section 16.05.730, carrying up to $1,000 and six months in county jail.
