Under the County's residential collection agreements, unincorporated Ventura County single-family customers receive free bulky-item pickups each year (the agreements provide up to three free pickups annually, with EJ Harrison offering up to four). Multifamily complexes get free designated collection events. Schedule pickups through your hauler.
Bulky-item disposal in unincorporated Ventura County is built into the County's residential collection agreements awarded in 2023, so residents do not have to pay separately for a set number of large-item pickups each year. According to the County's Public Works FAQ, the County-approved agreements provide single-family customers up to three free bulky-item pickups per year, and multifamily complexes up to four free designated collection events per year. EJ Harrison's published unincorporated-area program describes up to four bulky-item collections per calendar year, with an annual maximum of 1.5 cubic yards of uncontainerized solid waste, or three bulky items, or ten 32-gallon bags at no additional cost per event. Bulky items typically include furniture, mattresses, appliances, and similar large objects that do not fit in a cart. Because the exact number of pickups, item limits, and what qualifies can vary slightly between Athens Services and EJ Harrison, residents should contact their assigned hauler to schedule a collection and confirm the current limits and acceptable items. Certain materials - such as household hazardous waste, electronics, and tires - are usually handled through separate programs rather than standard bulky pickup, so residents should ask their hauler or check Ventura County Public Works for proper disposal of those items.
Setting out bulky items without scheduling, exceeding the per-event volume or item limits, or including prohibited materials (hazardous waste, e-waste, tires) can result in items being left behind. Schedule and confirm acceptable items with your hauler.
