Kings County, CA Trash & Recycling: Bulk Item Disposal (2026)

Large items that don't fit in a cart, such as old or unused appliances, couches, mattresses, electronic waste and tires, are handled by Mid Valley Disposal as a separate, temporary (on-request) service rather than through the routine weekly route. Residents arrange a bulky-item pickup by contacting Mid Valley Disposal directly through its contact form or local office. As an alternative to curbside bulky pickup, residents can self-haul bulky and excess waste to the Kings Waste & Recycling Authority (KWRA) facility at 7803 Hanford-Armona Road in Hanford, where the scale house operates Monday through Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. KWRA is the joint-powers authority serving Hanford, Lemoore, Corcoran and the unincorporated county. Because bulky pickup is on-request, residents should not set large items at the curb on a normal collection day expecting them to be taken, items left out without a scheduled pickup are not collected and, if abandoned in the right-of-way or on someone else's property, can constitute illegal dumping. Certain materials (such as tires, electronics and appliances containing refrigerants) have special handling and may incur fees, so residents should confirm what is accepted and any charges when scheduling.
