On Saturday, March 16, 2024, from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., the City of Garden Grove and Garden Grove Sanitary District, in collaboration with Republic Services, will host a community cleanup day, offering residents the opportunity to dispose of bulky items for free. The drop-off location will be at Skylark Elementary, located at 11250 Mac Murray Street. The event is open to Garden Grove residents only. Proof of residency is required.

Residents may bring unwanted bulky items, such as non-refrigerant appliances, furniture, mattresses, and carpets, and electronic waste, including printers, computers, and televisions. This will be a self-service event in which residents will be unloading their own items, on a first-come, first-served basis, until bins are full.

Items not accepted include hazardous waste, batteries, LED lights, refrigerators, freezers, AC units, concrete, dirt, and tires. For a complete list of banned items, visit ggcity.org/cleanup-days.

A limited amount of nutrient-rich compost will also be available, supplied by Orange County Waste and Recycling.

Additional community cleanup days are scheduled through November 2024 at various locations in the city, every other month, with the next event taking place on Saturday, May 11, 2024, from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., at Garden Grove Park, located at 9301 Westminster Avenue.

Residents are also encouraged to use Republic Services’ bulky items collections service at no charge. Each household receives up to three bulky item pickups per calendar year and limited up to 10 items per pickup. To schedule a pickup, call (714) 238-2444.
