Mattress Removal

View →
$99first item · +$30 each more

Mattress removal in San Diego starts at $79 with Dropcurb, and you can book online in about 60 seconds, leave the mattress at the curb, and skip appointment windows. In San Diego, mattress removal demand spikes around move-outs in neighborhoods like Pacific Beach and Mission Valley, where renters and landlords need same-day turnover instead of waiting on city programs. The City of San Diego states it does not provide bulky-item curbside pickup, so mattress removal often means either finding a private hauler through WasteFreeSD or self-hauling to the city's Miramar mattress collection site. City guidance also notes futon mattresses must detach from the frame to be accepted, which creates extra prep work for many households. Dropcurb simplifies mattress removal in San Diego with flat upfront pricing and no in-home estimate, so you avoid quote visits and landfill trips. Competitor listings like Muvr advertise mattress removal starting at $99 in San Diego, while LoadUp commonly cites broader $50-$200 ranges depending on setup and access.

Couch Removal

View →
$99first item · +$28 each more

Couch removal in San Diego starts at $79 with Dropcurb, and you can book online in about 60 seconds without waiting for a quote callback. In San Diego, couch removal usually gets delayed because there is no single city-run bulky pickup program, and the City points residents to the WasteFreeSD directory to find provider options by area. The city's general collection rules also exclude furniture like couches and other items over 50 pounds from regular refuse pickup, so many households in neighborhoods like Pacific Beach, Mission Valley, and La Jolla still need a separate couch removal plan. Dropcurb gives San Diego customers a same-day curbside path: set the couch out, skip in-home appointments, and get photo-confirmed pickup by evening. Competitor pricing in current San Diego results is often higher or less predictable, with LoadUp describing typical couch removal around $100 to $500, Severin listing standard couches from $100 (and sectionals from $129), and Fred's listing $99 full-service for one couch. If you want couch removal in San Diego with upfront pricing instead of estimate-based back-and-forth, Dropcurb keeps it simple at a $79 starting price.

Furniture Removal

View →
$79first item · +$29 each more

Furniture removal in San Diego starts at $79 with Dropcurb, and you can book online in about 60 seconds without waiting for an in-home estimate. In San Diego, furniture removal demand spikes during lease turnovers in neighborhoods like Pacific Beach and Hillcrest, where residents need old couches, desks, and bed frames gone before move-out deadlines. The city does not run one centralized bulk furniture pickup program, and San Diego's own refuse rules direct residents away from container disposal for furniture and other oversized items, pushing most people to provider directories or self-haul. That means furniture removal often turns into a multi-call scheduling project instead of a quick task. Dropcurb keeps furniture removal simple: set items at the curb, lock your price upfront, and get same-day pickup with no appointment window. While some local options like Fred's advertise curbside pickup from $59 and LoadUp listings start around $89, Dropcurb gives San Diego customers a clear $79 starting point, instant checkout, and no surprise volume quote at pickup time.

Appliance Recycling

View →
$134first item · +$84 each more

Appliance recycling in San Diego starts at $104 with Dropcurb, and you can book online in about 60 seconds without waiting for a callback quote. San Diego residents replace fridges, washers, and stoves constantly during move-outs, remodels, and landlord turnovers, but the city has no single bulk pickup program, so most households end up searching the WasteFreeSD directory by ZIP code to find a provider. If you self-haul instead, Miramar Landfill car-load totals typically land around $57 to $103 after fees and surcharges, and City guidance notes the site no longer accepts cash, which adds extra friction for same-day disposal plans. Dropcurb gives you a faster appliance recycling path in San Diego: disconnect the unit, place it curbside, and we handle appliance recycling pickup with certified downstream processing for refrigerant and metal recovery. That means no in-home appointment window, no on-site haggling, and no guessing what appliance recycling will cost. Competitors like Demo Diego advertise appliance removal around $100 to $400 in San Diego County, while Dropcurb starts at $104 with instant online pricing.

TV Removal

View →
$99first item · +$39 each more

TV removal in San Diego starts at $99 with Dropcurb, all-in, and you can book in about 60 seconds without waiting for a call back. In San Diego, TV removal demand spikes during apartment move-outs in Mission Valley and Pacific Beach, when renters need old screens gone before key handoff and can't wait for periodic city cleanup events. The City of San Diego states it does not run a single citywide bulky pickup program and directs residents to the WasteFreeSD provider directory, while the city's e-waste guidance also routes most electronics to approved recycling options like Miramar-area facilities instead of trash bins. That makes TV removal in San Diego a logistics problem unless you want to self-haul. Dropcurb simplifies TV removal with same-day curbside pickup, instant online pricing, and certified downstream processing for flatscreens and CRT units. Competitor pricing is mixed, with Fred's advertising $59 curbside TV pickup and Demo Diego listing TVs around $50-$100, but both still depend on provider-specific scheduling and quote flow.

Construction Debris Removal

View →
$109first item · +$59 each more

Construction debris removal in San Diego starts at $109 with Dropcurb, with additional heavy items at $59, and you can book online in about 60 seconds without waiting for an on-site estimate. Construction debris removal demand in San Diego rises during remodel cycles in neighborhoods like North Park, Pacific Beach, and Mission Valley, where homeowners and small contractors need drywall, lumber, and tile scraps cleared fast to keep projects moving. City of San Diego rules also matter here: projects covered by the city C&D Debris Deposit Ordinance must recycle at least 65% of debris, and required documentation must be submitted within 180 days after final inspection to recover the recycling deposit. That compliance burden is one reason construction debris removal in San Diego cannot rely on regular trash service or generic curb piles. Dropcurb handles construction debris removal for curb-ready, bagged or neatly stacked material, with same-day scheduling in many cases and upfront pricing from $109 instead of phone-tag quotes. Competitor pricing in current San Diego results is typically higher and less predictable, with Demo Diego listing construction debris removal around $250 to $1,200 depending on volume, while Dropcurb gives a clear starting point and fast checkout.

E-Waste Disposal

View →
$99first item · +$39 each more

California law bans e-waste from landfills. San Diego's SAFE Collection events and Eco Centro accept drop-offs but have limited hours. Dropcurb picks up TVs, monitors, and computers from your curb — Gaslamp to Sorrento Valley.

Exercise Equipment Removal

$159first item · +$85 each more

Treadmills and ellipticals won't fit in your car for a Miramar trip. Fred's Junk Removal charges $99+ for full-service. Dropcurb handles exercise equipment same-day from Coronado homes to Balboa Park condos.

Bulk Junk Removal

View →
$79first item · +$29 each more

Garage cleanouts in Rancho Penasquitos, post-renovation debris in Hillcrest, move-out piles in Pacific Beach. Without city bulk pickup, Dropcurb handles the full load in one trip — priced upfront.

San Diego's bulk pickup has limits — we don't

San Diego lacks a unified city bulk pickup — the WasteFreeSD directory lists providers by ZIP code with no standard pricing or scheduling. The city runs periodic Community Cleanup events at 5+ rotating locations, but availability is limited and schedule-dependent. Miramar Landfill (city-operated) charges ~$42/ton for self-haul (FY2026, increased from ~$31/ton), but small car loads run $70-$103 after the $13 recycling fee and $8 RCBT surcharge (cash no longer accepted). A new city trash fee of $32.82-$43.60/month begins FY2026 for single-family residents ($523.20/year for 95-gallon bin bundle), replacing previously free service. Low-income residents can apply for subsidies of up to $261.60/year. Fred's Junk Removal starts at $59 for curbside small loads (up to 2 cubic yards). Severin Hauling charges $69 for small items, $100 for standard, and $495 for a full trailer. Fetch Junk Removal starts at $89. Jake's Junk Removal operates larger trucks (nearly 2x competitors) with competitive pricing. Junk King San Diego offers text-a-photo estimates with volume-based pricing. Demo Diego offers same-day junk removal from $150-$600 and publishes a 2026 pricing guide showing full-load costs of $450-$800. Average San Diego junk removal costs $249-$261 according to Homeyou (based on 14,191 local projects). 1-800-GOT-JUNK charges $150-$600+ with mandatory in-person estimates.
