Bulky pickup in Riverside
Mattresses, furniture, and many appliances — city bulk or drop-off, not the regular cart.
Official source:
Riverside residents get free curbside bulky-item pickups by appointment (city guidance: two per year for eligible households; extras may be fee-based). Mattresses must be completely wrapped/bagged in plastic or they will not be collected. Place items at the curb by 5:30 a.m. on the appointment day (night-before OK; not more than 24 hours early). Schedule via your service provider or 311. Alternative: free third-Saturday drop-off at Agua Mansa Transfer Station (1830 Agua Mansa Road; confirm hours) with city residency proof.
Household hazardous waste — used oil, paint, propane, batteries, and chemicals.
Official source:
It is illegal in California to trash HHW. Riverside city pages direct residents to Riverside County HHW. Agua Mansa Permanent HHW Facility accepts paint (latex/oil), batteries, antifreeze, BBQ/camp propane, fluorescents, garden chemicals, pool chlorine, sharps, unused medication (except controlled substances), used oil/filters, and e-waste — free for county residents, non-holiday Saturdays 9 a.m.–2 p.m. Limit about 15 gallons / 125 pounds per vehicle visit.
TVs, computers, and electronics. Usually banned from trash and the blue bin.
Official source:
Electronic waste (TVs, computers, monitors, cell phones, etc.) is not accepted in Riverside curbside bulky. City guidance sends residents to Riverside County HHW facilities. The Agua Mansa Permanent HHW Facility (1780 Agua Mansa Road, Jurupa Valley) is free for Riverside County residents on non-holiday Saturdays 9 a.m.–2 p.m. (confirm holiday closures). Transport limits typically 15 gallons or 125 pounds per visit.
Construction debris, concrete, and remodel waste — transfer station or roll-off.
Official source:
Construction/demolition materials (wood scrap, brick, concrete, drywall, doors, lumber, tile, metal) are non-acceptable Riverside curbside bulky items. Use a debris box or transfer station; keep paint for County HHW.
Yard waste, food scraps, and cooking oil where the city has a separate stream.
Official source:
Use Riverside organics/green-waste service for routine yard trimmings. For bulky appointments, tree trimmings must be tied in bundles ≤18 inches diameter and ≤36 inches long — no large limbs, trunks, or stumps on curb bulky.
Cart recycling, store film take-back, and foam rules — not a second bulky program.
Official source:
Riverside recycling carts do not want expanded polystyrene (EPS). White block foam, packing peanuts, and food trays are different streams. Grocery film/bag bins are not a foam drop-off. City of Riverside Public Works — Bulky Items is the official Riverside program we verified — if that page only mentions plastic bags or film, treat block foam and food trays as bagged garbage unless it names a foam densifier. Clean peanuts may be reused at a shipper; starch peanuts are not EPS.
