Mission Viejo residents receive bulky item pickup through Ware Disposal by appointment. Items include furniture, appliances, and mattresses. The city also hosts periodic community cleanup events. Household hazardous waste goes to Orange County HHW collection centers.
Ware Disposal provides bulky item pickup for Mission Viejo single-family residents by appointment. Call (949) 642-1191 to schedule. Accepted items include furniture, mattresses, appliances (doors must be removed from refrigerators/freezers for safety), water heaters, and large household items. Electronics and e-waste can be disposed of through Orange County e-waste events or certified recyclers. Household hazardous waste (paint, batteries, chemicals, motor oil) is not accepted through regular or bulky pickup — residents should use the Orange County HHW collection center at 1071 N. Blue Gum Street in Anaheim or periodic mobile collection events. The city periodically hosts community cleanup days where residents can dispose of large items at designated locations. Construction and demolition debris requires separate hauling arrangements and is not included in residential service. Contact the city's Public Services Division at (949) 470-3067 for event schedules.
Dumping bulky items at the curb without scheduling pickup is a code violation. Illegal dumping on public property or in common areas carries fines and potential misdemeanor charges. Items left on the curb for extended periods are subject to code enforcement action and administrative citations.
