LA Sanitation calls its bulky item pickup an unlimited curbside service at no additional charge, and there is no per-year cap for single-family residents. You request it online, on the MyLA311 app, or on the 24-hour line at 1-800-773-2489, they ask for an itemised list so the right truck comes, and collection happens on your normal trash day with at least one business day's notice. Furniture, mattresses and box springs, toilets and sinks, rolled and tied carpet, large wood pieces and doors, and e-waste including TVs and monitors are all accepted.
It refuses automotive parts and used oil, construction materials like concrete, brick and dirt, commercial appliances, paint, solvents and chemicals, medicines and needles, and fluorescent tubes. In Brentwood specifically, the practical limit is geography. On the canyon streets there is often nowhere to stage items that is both reachable by a collection truck and not blocking a single-lane road. On gated properties the curb is outside the gate. And nothing in the program covers moving contents out of a house, which is what an estate clear-out actually requires.
