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.

EDCO collects large items generated from within the home on a bulky item pickup, set out at the curb or the end of the driveway by 6:00 a.m. on the appointed day and taken by a separate truck. The pickup is offered for a nominal fee per item, and EDCO also mails a free bulky item cleanup coupon twice a year.
City cost & eligibility
The operator publishes a nominal fee per item and charges more per item for a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner, whose refrigerant needs special handling, but it prints no amount. Twice a year a free bulky item cleanup coupon is mailed with the terms printed in the Environmental Times newsletter, so confirm which route applies and the current per item price with EDCO at (858) 748-7769.
When & how
Contact EDCO at least two days before the normal collection day to arrange a bulky item pickup, then set the items at the curb or the end of the driveway by 6:00 a.m. on the appointed day. The free cleanup coupon runs on its own mailed schedule and its terms travel with the coupon.
Get it ready
Keep each item at a size the collection crew can handle and keep the pile out of the travel path, because the pickup is a separate truck from the weekly route. Wrap a mattress before it goes out, keep household hazardous waste, electronics, fluorescent bulbs, medical waste, auto parts, tires, construction debris, concrete, rocks, brick and dirt out of the pile, and never place hazardous chemicals at the curb.
Furniture is the first item on the operator's acceptable list for a bulky item pickup, and the resource guide's bulky examples add carpet, rugs and book shelves. A couch therefore travels on the per item pickup or on the free cleanup coupon.
City cost & eligibility
Furniture is accepted for a bulky item pickup at the operator's nominal fee per item, or inside the free cleanup coupon that is mailed twice a year. No amount is published, so confirm the current price with EDCO at (858) 748-7769 before the collection day.
When & how
Call EDCO at least two days before the normal collection day to book the pickup, then put the piece at the curb or the end of the driveway by 6:00 a.m. on the appointed day.
Get it ready
Keep the piece whole and liftable and leave it clear of the travel path, take off cushions and loose parts that could blow away, and keep furniture out of the trash cart, which is reserved for non-recyclable household trash. Anything in good condition is worth donating before it becomes a bulky item.
Book the pickup at least two days before the normal collection day, then set the items at the curb or the end of the driveway by 6:00 a.m. on the appointed day. Wrap a mattress before it goes out, keep each piece where the crew can reach it, and keep hazardous chemicals, electronics, fluorescent bulbs, medical waste, auto parts, tires, concrete, dirt and construction debris out of the pile entirely.
Order a temporary dumpster for a home improvement or yard clean up, or a roll off box for demolition material and construction debris. EDCO sizes the container by the material and the weight, delivers it and collects it when the work is done, and gives a free estimate by phone, so sort heavy inert material from mixed debris before the box arrives.
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.

San Marcos residents have several self haul options. EDCO's Certified Recycling Center at 224 S. Las Posas Road takes electronic waste, household batteries and sharps for free, along with used motor oil found at certified locations that include this center, fats, oils and grease in a sealed container, and carpet, which the city lists as a Wednesday through Saturday drop-off. Leftover paint is free at PaintCare paint stores, and unused medicine goes in the anonymous kiosk at the San Marcos Sheriff's Station on Santar Place. Household hazardous waste such as cleaners, chemicals, pesticides and fluorescent bulbs goes to the North County Regional facility at 1145 East Taylor Street in Vista on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. except holiday weekends, with the regional hotline at (800) 714-1195. For a project load, EDCO rents temporary dumpsters and roll off boxes because construction debris, concrete and dirt are refused at the curb.

Couch removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in San Marcos.
How much does couch removal cost in San Marcos?+
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.
