Refrigerators, freezers, ranges, microwaves, water heaters, washers and dryers are named on the hauler's bulky item list, so appliances leave at the curb on a bulky pickup.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. An appliance counts toward the free bulky item pickup, four a year of up to six items each, under the city franchise.
When & how
Book the bulky pickup with EDCO at (619) 287-7555 and set the appliance out for that collection.
Get it ready
Keep the appliance out of every cart and out of the recycling and organics streams, and keep the load within six items. The published pages state no separate refrigerant step, so ask the hauler about a unit that holds refrigerant when the pickup is booked.
Call EDCO at (619) 287-7555 to book one of the four yearly bulky collections, which take up to six items and about three cubic yards each. Wrap a mattress before set-out, keep the load to items generated in the home, and leave construction debris, hazardous waste, electronics, medical waste, automobile parts and tires off the pile.
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.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in El Cajon.
How much does appliance removal cost in El Cajon?+
A full-size household refrigerator is $109 as a single item. A washing machine is $109, and a dryer is $109. Other appliances have their own catalog prices. Choose each item to see your exact total before booking; disposal and recycling costs are included in the item price.
Can I get same-day appliance pickup in El Cajon?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Checkout shows the dates you can choose. Your pickup is scheduled for a day rather than an exact arrival appointment, and we text you before arrival. Have the appliance disconnected and ready outside by your pickup readiness time.
Can you take a washing machine and dryer in one pickup?+
Yes. Add one Washing machine and one Dryer so both units are included in the price. They are separate items, even when you bought them as a set. If yours is a single combined unit or the machines still need to be unstacked, contact us before booking to confirm the scope.
Will you disconnect my appliance or carry it out?+
Dropcurb picks up appliances that are already disconnected and accessible outside at ground level. Arrange uninstallation, utility disconnection and indoor carrying before pickup. Use a qualified professional for gas, hardwired or plumbing connections when needed. We handle loading and haul-away from the outdoor pickup spot.
Can I book if the delivery company did not take my old appliance?+
Yes. Dropcurb pickup is separate from buying or installing a replacement, so you can book removal on its own. Select the old appliance, choose a pickup day and arrange for it to be disconnected and accessible outside. If your new delivery is still ahead, confirm the retailer’s haul-away arrangements before booking a separate pickup.
Can an El Cajon refrigerator go out with the trash cart?+
No. Refrigerators, freezers, ranges, microwaves, water heaters, washers and dryers are on the bulky item list, and the trash cart takes household trash only. Book a bulky pickup with EDCO at (619) 287-7555, and keep the load within six items and about three cubic yards.Official guidance
