Walnut's Annual Bulky Item Pickup Is This Month

The City of Walnut posted the following information about the annual bulky item curbside clean-up event on Saturday, June 21 and Saturday June 28, 2014:

Valley Vista Services sponsors the City of Walnut’s Annual Bulky Item Curbside Clean-up.

But Why Wait? Walnut residents do not have to wait for the annual Bulky Item Pick Up Event to dispose of their unwanted items. Residents may contact Valley Vista Services at (800) 442-6454 any time during the year to schedule a free bulky item pick up (unlimited amount of free pick-ups per year). Please note that the prohibited items listed below still apply.

Annual Pick Up Details: This free clean-up will provide pick-up of furniture, appliances, lumber, residential vehicle tires, and other household items. Simply place “Bulky Item Clean-up” materials and other household items at your curb Friday night after 6:00 pm or Saturday before 7:00 am. If eligible waste is not placed at your regular trash pickup location by 7:00 am on Saturday of the event dates, the disposal trucks may have already passed by. 

Pick up of the “left behind” items will then require the homeowner to make special arrangement with Valley Vista (800) 442-6454. Prohibited items will not be picked up and it will be the homeowner's responsibility to remove and properly dispose of such items. For information on disposal of household hazardous waste, electronic equipment and scheduled collection event locations, please call 1-888-CLEANLA (1-888-253-2652).
