Your old mattress
Mattress, box spring, or both — we take them all. No awkward hallway maneuvering required. Just curb it and it's gone.

Fridge, washer, dryer, stove — too heavy to move, too big to trash. Curb it and a hauler makes it disappear.

Boxes, bags, the random stuff you've been meaning to deal with. If you can drag it to the curb, we'll make it disappear.
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.

Does San Diego offer free bulk pickup?
Yes. San Diego has no single city-run bulk pickup program. Residents use the WasteFreeSD directory to find haulers by ZIP code — fees and wait times vary by provider. The city runs periodic Community Cleanup events at rotating neighborhood locations (schedule varies). Miramar Landfill (city-operated) accepts self-haul loads — per-ton rate increased from ~$31/ton (FY2022) to current FY2026 rates; small car loads run $57-$103 after the $13 recycling fee and $8 RCBT surcharge. Cash no longer accepted at Miramar — cards and checks only.
