Bulky Item Pickup Service

Lakewood’s trash collection contractor, EDCO, offers bulky item pickup for large or awkward household items, such as mattresses, water heaters, sofas and chairs.

Single-family residences may request up to six free bulky item collections each year, with up to six items per scheduled collection.

Before scheduling a pickup, consider donating usable items to a charity that offers pickup service.

Apartment and condo residents

Apartment and condo residents do not qualify for the city’s free bulky item pickup program for single-family homes. Contact your property manager to ask about bulky item disposal options available for your complex.

Apartment and condo residents may also take mattresses and other bulky items, for a fee, to EDCO’s transfer station in Signal Hill. Visit EDCO’s website for details.
