A loveseat, a sleeper and a sectional can look similar in a photo. Match the shape and features so your online price covers what is actually going.
This example has three structural sections. The cushions do not add to the count.
A straight sofa or loveseat
Choose Standard sofa for fixed seats with no pull-out bed or reclining mechanism. One whole sofa is one item.
A sectional
Count its structural sections, not the loose cushions. Choose the piece count, then check for a sleeper or reclining feature. One sectional booking covers the configuration you select.
A pull-out bed or reclining seats
Choose Sleeper sofa or Reclining sofa for those mechanisms. A single reclining chair has its own Recliner choice. All sofa types also includes futons and sofas with a chaise.

Furniture leads the bulky item list EDCO publishes for Encinitas, and the service guide adds carpet, rugs and book shelves to the same route. The piece is collected at the curb or the end of the driveway on an appointed day for a nominal fee per item.
City cost & eligibility
A furniture item is collected as a bulky item for a nominal fee per item that EDCO quotes when the pickup is booked. The free annual cleanup coupon at the Palomar Transfer Station is the no-cost alternative.
When & how
Book the pickup with EDCO and set the furniture at the curb or the end of the driveway by 6 a.m. on the appointed day.
Get it ready
Keep the furniture out of the trash, recycling and organics carts, and leave tires, dirt, concrete, asphalt, hazardous chemicals and liquid waste out of the same pile.
The bulky item pickup in Encinitas is by appointment through EDCO, and the item has to be generated from inside the home. On the appointed day the item goes to the curb or the end of the driveway by 6 a.m., where a separate bulky item truck collects it for a nominal fee per item. Furniture, carpet, rugs, book shelves, mattresses, scrap metal, stoves, refrigerators, freezers, ranges, microwaves, water heaters, washers, dryers and air conditioners are all on the published list, and refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners cost more because of the refrigerant.
Encinitas residents receive one free cleanup coupon each year to dispose of large unwanted items at the Palomar Transfer Station, and the coupon and its instructions arrive in the Environmental Times newsletter inserted in the billing statement. A resident arriving with a manual trailer has to go to the Escondido Resource Recovery facility instead, which takes those loads on Saturdays and Sundays from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Carts go to street level with the wheels against the curb and out of the way of traffic, with at least two feet between carts and three feet from obstructions, and everything out by 6 a.m. on the service day or the night before. There is no residential collection on New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day or Christmas Day, and the rest of that week runs one day late; a holiday that falls on a weekend does not delay the week.
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.

Book an EDCO bulky item pickup
A household with a couch, a mattress, an appliance, a water heater or another large item generated inside the home.
Cost & conditions
EDCO collects bulky items for a nominal fee per item and publishes no amount, and a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner carries a higher fee because of the refrigerant, so ask EDCO for the price when the pickup is booked.
Arrange it
Contact EDCO to schedule the appointment, then set the items at the curb or the end of the driveway by 6 a.m. on the collection day. A mattress has to be wrapped first.
Tires, dirt, concrete, asphalt, hazardous chemicals, liquid waste, construction and demolition debris and fluorescent bulbs will not be collected on this truck, and the residential service guide also lists electronics as not accepted even though EDCO's current bulky page names one television or computer monitor.

Use the free annual cleanup coupon
An Encinitas household that would rather drive its large items to a transfer station than pay a per item collection charge.
Cost & conditions
No charge. One free cleanup coupon each year to an Encinitas resident for large unwanted items at the Palomar Transfer Station, printed in the Environmental Times newsletter inserted in the billing statement.
Arrange it
Keep the coupon from the billing newsletter and take the items to the Palomar Transfer Station, or to the Escondido Resource Recovery facility on Saturdays and Sundays from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. if the load arrives on a manual trailer.
The coupon is issued once a year and its instructions come with the billing newsletter rather than on demand, and a manual trailer cannot use the Palomar Transfer Station at all.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Couch removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Encinitas.
How much does couch removal cost in Encinitas?+
A standard sofa is $79 as the first item and $29 additional. Sectionals, sleepers and reclining sofas have their own choices. Select everything that is going to see the combined price before booking. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; any applicable sales tax appears before payment.
Can you pick up my couch today?+
Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the couch outside and accessible according to your confirmation. We send pickup updates and photos when it is done; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.
How do I book a sectional for removal?+
Open Sectional in the sofa choices, count its structural sections, and select any sleeper or reclining feature. Count the sections with their own bases, not loose cushions. The matching catalog choice covers one complete sectional of that configuration. Text a photo before booking if you are unsure.
Will you carry my couch out of my apartment?+
Dropcurb starts outside. Arrange for the sofa to be moved through the apartment and down interior stairs before pickup. We load and haul it away from an accessible outdoor spot. Arrange any dismantling needed to get it outside beforehand.
Do I need to wait at home for couch pickup?+
You do not need to be home when your booked sofa is outside and accessible. Add photos and pickup-location notes to your order so the right pieces are easy to identify. We send updates and completion photos. Confirm any building access restrictions with us before booking.
Will EDCO take a couch from the curb in Encinitas?+
Yes. Furniture heads the bulky item list EDCO publishes for Encinitas, and the residential service guide puts carpet, rugs and book shelves on the same route.
