City collection Furniture is the first item on the acceptable list for a bulky item pickup, in both the hauler's page and the city's own description of the service, so a couch leaves on a requested collection rather than at the curb on a normal trash day. No furniture rate is published. The bulky pickup carries the hauler's nominal per item fee, so confirm the price when the collection is scheduled.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Vista collects through EDCO, and large items move on a requested bulky item pickup: schedule it with the hauler, then put the item at the curb or the end of the driveway by 6 a.m. on the appointed day for a separate truck. The acceptable list names furniture, scrap metal, stoves, refrigerators, air conditioners, microwave ovens, water heaters and one television or computer monitor per pickup, and it refuses tires, dirt, concrete, asphalt and hazardous chemicals. The service carries a nominal fee that the hauler quotes by phone. Electronic waste and household hazardous waste go to the Vista collection facility on East Taylor Street, which opens on Saturdays, and mattresses have a separate no-cost route through California's mattress stewardship program.

City cost & eligibility
The cart service is billed on the EDCO residential account and the Vista pages do not print the monthly rate. Confirm the current rate and the cart sizes for the address with EDCO customer service.
When & how
The carts are collected weekly on the address service day. Put them out by the collection time on the day so the automated truck can reach them.
Get it ready
Keep recycling and organic material out of the trash cart, put recyclables in the blue cart, and keep bulky items, electronics, batteries and hazardous chemicals out of all three carts.
EDCO collects large items generated from within the home on an appointed bulky item day, with a separate truck and the item at the curb or the end of the driveway by 6 a.m. The service is offered for a nominal fee.
City cost & eligibility
The bulky item pickup carries a nominal fee and no amount is published, so the price comes from the hauler. Submit the request form or call EDCO customer service to confirm the current per item charge before the collection day.
When & how
Submit the bulky item request to arrange a collection day, then set the item out at the curb or the end of the driveway by 6:00 a.m. on the appointed day for the separate bulky truck.
Get it ready
Keep each item on the acceptable list: furniture, scrap metal, stoves, refrigerators, air conditioners, microwave ovens, water heaters, and one television or computer monitor per pickup. Keep tires, dirt, concrete, asphalt, paints, thinners, solvents, pesticides and liquid wastes away from the curb entirely, because the hauler does not accept them.
Furniture is the first item on the acceptable list for a bulky item pickup, in both the hauler's page and the city's own description of the service, so a couch leaves on a requested collection rather than at the curb on a normal trash day.
City cost & eligibility
No furniture rate is published. The bulky pickup carries the hauler's nominal per item fee, so confirm the price when the collection is scheduled.
When & how
Request the bulky pickup and put the piece at the curb or the end of the driveway by 6:00 a.m. on the appointed day.
Get it ready
Take cushions and loose parts off the piece, keep it out of the carts and off the sidewalk, and keep it clear of the path the truck needs. Keep the piece dry and reasonably intact so the crew can handle it.
Vista points mattress disposal to Palomar Transfer Station on 760-603-0153, where residents can drop off up to three mattresses at no charge and anything over three carries a cost. California's mattress stewardship program also offers no-cost recycling at more than 240 permanent drop off locations and about 100 collection events a year, plus retailer take back.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Up to three mattresses can be dropped off at Palomar Transfer Station at no charge, with a cost for anything over three. Bye Bye Mattress also offers no-cost mattress recycling to California residents at more than 240 permanent drop off locations and about 100 collection events each year, and many residents have access through retailer take back. A mattress is not on the published bulky item list, so confirm with EDCO before setting one out for that pickup.
When & how
Take the mattress to Palomar Transfer Station and call 760-603-0153 about the drop off, or look up the nearest Bye Bye Mattress drop off location or collection event, or arrange take back with the retailer when a new mattress is delivered. Confirm with EDCO separately if the mattress is meant to go out on a bulky item day.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and off the street, and do not leave it at the curb without an appointment or a scheduled event. Deliver it to a drop off location or hand it over on a confirmed pickup rather than setting it out.
Stoves, refrigerators, air conditioners, microwave ovens and water heaters are all named on the acceptable list for a bulky item pickup, so the appliance routes rest on explicit listings rather than inference.
City cost & eligibility
No appliance rate is published beyond the hauler's nominal per item fee, so confirm the price and how the appliance is counted when the pickup is arranged.
When & how
Request the bulky pickup and set the appliance out by 6:00 a.m. on the appointed day.
Get it ready
Empty the unit, secure the doors, and remove hoses and cords that could catch during handling. Keep appliances out of the carts and away from the electronics drop off, which is for household hazardous waste and electronic items rather than large appliances.
A refrigerator and an air conditioner are named separately on the acceptable list for a bulky item pickup, which is explicit acceptance rather than a silence to be guessed at, so the cooling appliance routes through the same requested collection.
City cost & eligibility
No refrigeration unit rate is published beyond the hauler's nominal per item fee. Confirm the price for the unit when the pickup is arranged.
When & how
Request the bulky pickup and set the unit out by 6:00 a.m. on the appointed day.
Get it ready
Empty the unit, keep the doors closed or secured, and leave the refrigerant work to the hauler. Keep the unit out of the carts and off the street before the collection day.
The Vista household hazardous waste facility collects unwanted electronics including anything with an electrical cord, and it names televisions, computer monitors, printers, DVD players and answering machines. Batteries can be brought to the same facility.
City cost & eligibility
The Vista collection facility page does not publish a fee for household hazardous waste or electronic waste, so confirm the accepted items and any cost with the regional information line at (800) 714-1195 before loading the car.
When & how
Take the devices to the Vista Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility at 1145 East Taylor Street, across from the Vista Public Works yard, on a Saturday between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. The facility is closed on holiday weekends.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data from computers, phones and storage devices before the trip, and keep batteries with the load because the facility accepts them. Keep electronics out of all three carts and out of the bulky pile, where only a single television or computer monitor is allowed.
A television is named both as an item the hazardous waste facility collects and as the single television or computer monitor allowed per bulky item pickup, so the set has two published routes.
City cost & eligibility
The facility publishes no fee and the bulky pickup carries the hauler's nominal per item fee, so confirm which route fits and what either costs, with the facility information line at (800) 714-1195 or with EDCO.
When & how
Take the set to 1145 East Taylor Street on a Saturday between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. except holiday weekends, or put one television or monitor out on an appointed bulky item day.
Get it ready
Protect the screen so it does not break in transit, remove cables, stands and loose batteries, and keep the set out of every cart. Remember that the bulky pickup allows only one television or computer monitor, so a second screen has to go to the facility.
Dirt, concrete and asphalt are refused in the bulky pickup, and no Vista page in this source set publishes a residential construction collection, so a renovation load needs a container or a private arrangement.
City cost & eligibility
No container or disposal rate is published. EDCO sells temporary dumpsters and roll off boxes for clean ups and projects and quotes them for the material, so confirm the container, the accepted material and the price with the hauler.
When & how
Order the temporary dumpster or roll off box before the work starts, and keep the material off the curb, out of every cart and out of the bulky pile while the project runs.
Get it ready
Keep dirt, concrete, asphalt and construction material out of the carts and the bulky pile, because the hauler refuses them there. Separate heavy inert material from mixed debris so the container matches the load, and keep paints, solvents, pesticides and liquid wastes out of the container entirely.
Exercise equipment is not named on the acceptable list, the refusal list or the hazardous waste page, so a treadmill or a weight machine has to be confirmed with the hauler before it goes out.
City cost & eligibility
No exercise equipment rate or category is published. A machine would have to be accepted as a bulky item at the hauler's nominal per item fee, so confirm the piece and the price with EDCO before booking a collection.
When & how
Ask EDCO about the machine first and, if it is accepted, book the bulky item day and set it out by 6:00 a.m.
Get it ready
Take off loose weights, pedals and straps, fold the frame where the machine allows it, and keep any console or battery separate so nothing with a battery goes into a cart. Keep the machine off the sidewalk and out of every cart while the answer is pending.
The Vista Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility at 1145 East Taylor Street takes household hazardous waste and electronic waste, including batteries, on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. except holiday weekends. Paint, thinners, solvents, pesticides and liquid wastes are refused in the bulky stream, so the facility is the route.
City cost & eligibility
The Vista facility page does not publish a fee for household hazardous waste, so confirm the accepted items and any cost with the regional information line at (800) 714-1195.
When & how
Take the material to 1145 East Taylor Street, across from the Vista Public Works yard, on a Saturday between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., and check the holiday weekend closures before the trip.
Get it ready
Keep paints, thinners, solvents, pesticides, liquid wastes, batteries and electronic waste out of every cart and away from the curb, because the hauler refuses them in the bulky service. Keep containers closed and upright for transport, and bring batteries with the load.
Arrange the collection with EDCO first, then set the item at the curb or the end of the driveway by 6:00 a.m. on the appointed day for the separate bulky truck. Keep each piece on the acceptable list, which allows one television or computer monitor per pickup, and keep tires, dirt, concrete, asphalt, paint, thinners, solvents, pesticides and liquid wastes away from the curb entirely.
Put the carts out by the collection time on the service day, in the spot the truck can reach and clear of parked cars and other obstacles. Keep recyclables in the blue cart, keep organics separate, and keep bulky items, electronics, batteries and hazardous chemicals out of all three carts.
Take household hazardous waste, batteries and electronic waste to 1145 East Taylor Street, across from the Vista Public Works yard, on a Saturday between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., and check the holiday weekend closures first.

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.
EDCO City of Vista with the City of Vista Public Works Department
Request a bulky item pickup from EDCO
A Vista household with furniture, an appliance, a water heater, a refrigerator, an air conditioner or one television or computer monitor to clear out.
Cost & conditions
The service carries a nominal fee and the hauler publishes no amount, so confirm the current per item price when the pickup is arranged.
Arrange it
Submit the bulky item request, get the collection day, and put the item at the curb or the end of the driveway by 6:00 a.m. on that day.
The acceptable list is furniture, scrap metal, stoves, refrigerators, air conditioners, microwave ovens, water heaters and one television or computer monitor, so a second screen has to go to the collection facility. Tires, dirt, concrete, asphalt and hazardous chemicals are refused.
EDCO City of Vista with the City of Vista Public Works Department
Take hazardous waste and electronics to the Vista collection facility
A household with paint, solvents, pesticides, batteries, electronic waste, a television, a monitor or a printer that cannot go in a cart.
Cost & conditions
The facility page does not publish a fee for household hazardous waste or electronic waste, so confirm the accepted items and any cost with the regional information line at (800) 714-1195.
Arrange it
Drive to 1145 East Taylor Street, across from the Vista Public Works yard, on a Saturday between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., except holiday weekends.
The facility is a weekend-only drop off, so a load that cannot wait has to use the bulky service instead, and bulky items, dirt, concrete and asphalt are not part of this route.
EDCO City of Vista with the City of Vista Public Works Department
Use a no-cost mattress recycling location
A household with a mattress or box spring that wants a free route instead of a paid bulky pickup.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Bye Bye Mattress, California's mattress stewardship program, offers no-cost recycling to residents at more than 240 permanent drop off locations and about 100 collection events a year, and many residents also have access through retailer take back.
Arrange it
Drive the mattress to Palomar Transfer Station and call 760-603-0153 about the drop off, where up to three mattresses are accepted at no charge, or look up the nearest drop off location or collection event, or arrange retailer take back when a new mattress is delivered.
The state program runs its own locations and event dates rather than a curb service, so the mattress has to be delivered, while the local route is the Palomar Transfer Station drop off and anything over three mattresses carries a cost. A mattress is not on the Vista bulky item list, so a curbside collection has to be confirmed with EDCO separately.
EDCO City of Vista with the City of Vista Public Works Department
Order a dumpster or roll off box for a project
A household or contractor with a clean up, a home improvement project or construction material that the bulky pickup refuses.
Cost & conditions
No container or disposal rate is published. EDCO sizes the container for the material and quotes the box, so confirm the size, the accepted material and the price with the hauler.
Arrange it
Call EDCO, describe the project and the material, accept the quote, and have the container delivered and collected around the work.
Dirt, concrete and asphalt are refused in the bulky pickup, so a renovation load needs the container rather than a curb pile, and paints, solvents, pesticides and liquid wastes have to stay out of the container as well.
Vista households mostly deal with the hauler and one city facility. Request a bulky item pickup for furniture, scrap metal, stoves, refrigerators, air conditioners, microwave ovens or water heaters, and put the item out by 6 a.m. on the appointed day for the separate truck; a single television or computer monitor can go out the same way. Household hazardous waste, electronic waste and batteries go to the Vista collection facility at 1145 East Taylor Street on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. except holiday weekends, with the information line at (800) 714-1195. Mattresses have a no-cost route through California's Bye Bye Mattress program rather than the local bulky list, and a renovation load needs a temporary dumpster or roll off box from EDCO because dirt, concrete and asphalt are refused at the curb.
