When & how
Request the pickup from EDCO and put the appliance out by 6 a.m. on the collection day.
Get it ready
Empty the unit, keep the doors secure so nothing can be trapped inside, and count each appliance inside the three-item allowance. The service describes collection rather than a recovery guarantee.
The bulky pickup is free each quarter for up to three acceptable items, set at the curb or the end of the driveway by 6 a.m. on the appointed day, which is generally the regular cart collection day, and a separate truck collects them.
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 National City.
How much does appliance removal cost in National City?+
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 National City?+
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 appliances go out with the National City bulky pickup?+
Yes. The hauler lists stoves, refrigerators, air conditioners, microwave ovens and water heaters among the acceptable bulky items, and the city names refrigerators in the same pickup description.Official guidance
Who handles collection in National City?+
EDCO Disposal performs residential and commercial solid waste collection and recycling under contract with the city, with rates negotiated by the City Council. The city's trash and recycling page points residents to EDCO for service details and for the bulky item pickup.Official guidance
How many bulky items can a National City household put out?+
Three items per pickup, and the pickup is free on a quarterly basis. The item goes at the curb or the end of the driveway by 6 a.m. on the appointed collection day, which is generally the same day as the regular cart collection.Official guidance
