Hawthorne bulky pickup starts with a call first
Hawthorne trash service is tied to Republic Services, street sweeping days, holiday delays, and scheduled bulky-item pickups.
Hawthorne trash service is one of those chores where the timing matters. For most residents, trash day lines up with street sweeping day. Holiday weeks can shift the pickup by one day.
Bulky items need a little planning. Hawthorne tells residents to call the trash company before putting large items at the curb. Properties that use trash carts get four free special pickups each year. Each pickup can be up to 64 cubic feet.
Republic Services handles the pickup appointment. Call Republic at 888-742-5234.
Hawthorne also has color rules for carts. Green is for yard waste. Blue is for recyclables. Brown is for trash. Food, yard waste, and garbage do not all go in the same cart.
Before setting anything out, check your pickup day, call for bulky items, and keep the curb window short. That keeps the street cleaner and avoids a second trip back outside.
