One dresser or a few pieces from different rooms, gone from the curb. Choose what goes, see the exact total and book by 2pm for same-day pickup. You don’t need to be home.
The desk you no longer use. The dresser that doesn’t fit the new layout. The chairs left over after a move. Choose the pieces you’re done with and give them a pickup day, without arranging a quote visit.
Different pieces. One clear total.
Add each furniture item and its quantity. See the combined price before you pay, with loading, transportation and disposal included.
Ready to have them gone?
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, or choose a future date at checkout. You arrange the move outside before pickup.
Know when they’ve been collected.
Get a text when your hauler is on the way and photos when the pickup is done. With everything outside and accessible, you don’t need to stay home.
You don’t need to guess how much space your furniture fills in a truck. Match each piece to the catalog, then add its quantity. Your total updates as you go.
Tables and chairs
Choose the table, then add each chair separately. Coffee tables, side tables and dining tables have their own options. A large or substantially heavy table has a different choice.
Dressers and mirrors
Match the dresser’s overall size. Add a separate dresser mirror as its own item if it is leaving too. Empty drawers and keep the belongings you want before moving the dresser outside.
Desks and bookshelves
Choose by construction, not height alone. A basic desk is different from a heavy desk with a substantial body. A tall, lightweight bookcase can still be a standard bookshelf. Empty it first.

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.
City of Encinitas Public Works Trash and Recycling Program with EDCO Waste and Recycling Services
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.

Furniture removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Encinitas.
How much does furniture removal cost in Encinitas?+
Choose the type and size of each piece to see its price. For example, a medium dresser is $79 as the first item or $29 as an additional item.

Can I get same-day furniture pickup in Encinitas?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup and choose from the dates shown at checkout. Arrange to have the furniture outside according to your confirmation. You receive a text when your hauler is on the way and photos after collection.
Will you remove furniture from inside my apartment?+
Dropcurb starts outside. You arrange indoor carrying, including any interior stairs or elevator trip. We load and take away the furniture from an accessible outdoor location. Check your building’s rules and plan the route out before booking.
Can you take several different furniture items in one pickup?+
Yes. Add each piece and its quantity to one booking. A dining table and four chairs are five items; a separate mirror is not included with a dresser. You can mix eligible items from different rooms and review their combined total before paying.
Do I need to take furniture apart before pickup?+
You arrange any disassembly needed to move the furniture out of your home and into an accessible outdoor pickup spot. Dropcurb does not provide indoor disassembly or carrying. If you are unsure which catalog choice matches a dismantled or unusual piece, send a photo and ask before booking.
