The cleanup after the work
The project is done. Get your space back.
The new bathroom is ready, but the old vanity is still outside. A replaced door is taking up space you need. Put those leftover items on a pickup plan, with the price settled and updates through the final haul-away.
Price the item you actually have.
Choose a door, toilet or bathroom vanity and see the price online. Each listed item has its own price, so you can settle the cost before booking.
Put a day behind the plan.
Choose an available pickup date. Book by 2pm local time for same-day pickup, where available, once you can have the item ready outside.
Know when the last item is gone.
Get updates along the way, a text before arrival and pickup photos when it is done. You can follow the pickup without waiting beside the item.
We currently accept the doors, toilets and bathroom vanities listed here, already detached and ready outside. Choose each item separately. Mixed drywall, tile, concrete, lumber and demolition rubble are not accepted, including in bags.
Doors
Count each detached door panel separately. Have it removed from its hinges before pickup. A whole installed doorway or garage door is not the same item.
Toilets
Choose Toilet for an ordinary household toilet that has already been disconnected, drained and moved outside. Text a photo before booking if yours is broken or has loose sharp pieces.
Bathroom vanities
Choose the small, standard or large bathroom vanity that matches your sink cabinet. A makeup table has a separate choice. Plumbing disconnection and removal from the wall happen before pickup.

Construction, renovation and demolition waste cannot go in a standard cart or bin in Downey, and the city publishes no collection route of its own. Covered projects also have to meet the city's diversion requirement: Downey Municipal Code Article V, Chapter 8, Ordinance 09-1252 requires 100 percent of inert debris and at least 65 percent of the remaining construction and demolition debris to be diverted from landfill, with a waste management plan filed on Form A and a compliance report on Form B.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes a diversion requirement and a list of recycling facilities rather than a rate, and a private hauler or container company sets its own price, so confirm the material, the container and the charge with the company and check the city's facility list before ordering.
When & how
Contact a licensed hauler or container company for the load, and for a covered project file the construction and demolition waste management plan before the work starts and the compliance report 30 days after it finishes.
Get it ready
Keep construction material, dirt, rocks, concrete and treated material out of the barrels, separate inert debris so the diversion requirement can be met, and keep the waste plan forms with the project records.
Barrels go to the curb the night before the service day or by 6 a.m. on the day itself. Athens observes New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas Day, and a holiday creates a one-day delay in collection, while a holiday that falls on a Saturday or Sunday does not delay service. The black barrel is for landfill material, the blue for clean recyclables and the green for organics including untreated wood and food scraps.
State law prohibits hazardous material in the containers, and the city's guide also keeps bulky items, construction debris, electronic waste and automotive parts out of them. The published list includes automotive parts, batteries, cleaning products, construction and demolition waste, fluorescent bulbs and tubes, electronic waste, LED lights, medical waste, paints, solvents and thinners, pesticides and herbicides, pharmaceuticals, pool chemicals, radiological waste, syringes and sharps, thermometers, thermostats and used motor oil. Electronics and chemicals go to the county collection network, renovation material goes to a private facility under the city's diversion rules, and sharps and medication go to a listed sheriff station bin.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
A household or contractor with construction, renovation or demolition material that the Downey barrels and the bulky pickup both refuse.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes a diversion requirement and a list of recycling facilities rather than a rate, so the container company sets its own price for the box and the disposal, and the load has to be confirmed with the company and checked against the city's facility list.
Arrange it
Contact a licensed container company and, for a covered project, file the construction and demolition waste management plan with the city before the work starts.
Construction and demolition waste cannot go in a standard cart or bin, and a covered project still has to meet the city's diversion requirement of 100 percent of inert debris and at least 65 percent of the remaining material.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Construction debris removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Downey.
How much does construction debris removal cost in Downey?+
Pricing is per accepted item. A detached door is $99 as a single item, an ordinary toilet is $79, and a small bathroom vanity is $99. Larger vanities have their own choices. Select the listed items to see the exact combined price. These prices do not cover mixed rubble or loose building materials. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; applicable sales tax appears before payment.
Can I get same-day toilet or vanity pickup in Downey?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Checkout shows the dates you can choose. Arrange disconnection, removal and the move outside first, then have the fixture ready by the time in your confirmation. We text you before arrival and provide pickup photos when it is done.
Will you disconnect a sink or take a door off its hinges?+
The fixture must already be detached, disconnected and accessible outside at ground level. Arrange plumbing, electrical work, removal from walls or hinges, and indoor carrying before pickup. Dropcurb handles loading and haul-away from your outdoor pickup spot.
Can I add bags of drywall, tile or other demolition waste?+
Mixed drywall, tile, concrete, lumber and demolition rubble are not accepted. This page offers pickup for the listed doors, toilets and bathroom vanities that are already removed. Do not book loose building materials as household trash bags or as an extra item. Arrange suitable disposal for those materials with your contractor or a debris specialist.
Can a door, toilet and vanity go in the same pickup?+
Yes. Add each listed fixture separately and choose the correct vanity size. Each detached door panel counts as one item. The combined price appears before you book. Keep the fixtures together outside, separate from anything staying, and add a location photo on your order page.
Can renovation debris go in a Downey barrel?+
No. The city says construction, renovation and demolition waste cannot go in standard carts or bins, and its guide lists asphalt, bricks, carpet, concrete, dirt, drywall, lumber, masonry, shingles, tile and similar material. A covered project also has to divert 100 percent of inert debris and at least 65 percent of the remaining construction and demolition waste, with a waste management plan filed with the city.Official guidance
When are holiday trees collected?+
Athens collects holiday trees from the day after Christmas through the second week of January on the regular pickup day. Remove the stand, ornaments, lights and tinsel, put the tree next to the trash containers, cut anything over six feet in half, and keep flocked or fire retardant trees out of the pile, because those are not accepted.Official guidance
