The cleanup after the work
The project is done. Get your space back.
The new bathroom is ready, but the old vanity is still outside. A replaced door is taking up space you need. Put those leftover items on a pickup plan, with the price settled and updates through the final haul-away.
Price the item you actually have.
Choose a door, toilet or bathroom vanity and see the price online. Each listed item has its own price, so you can settle the cost before booking.
Put a day behind the plan.
Choose an available pickup date. Book by 2pm local time for same-day pickup, where available, once you can have the item ready outside.
Know when the last item is gone.
Get updates along the way, a text before arrival and pickup photos when it is done. You can follow the pickup without waiting beside the item.
We currently accept the doors, toilets and bathroom vanities listed here, already detached and ready outside. Choose each item separately. Mixed drywall, tile, concrete, lumber and demolition rubble are not accepted, including in bags.
Doors
Count each detached door panel separately. Have it removed from its hinges before pickup. A whole installed doorway or garage door is not the same item.
Toilets
Choose Toilet for an ordinary household toilet that has already been disconnected, drained and moved outside. Text a photo before booking if yours is broken or has loose sharp pieces.
Bathroom vanities
Choose the small, standard or large bathroom vanity that matches your sink cabinet. A makeup table has a separate choice. Plumbing disconnection and removal from the wall happen before pickup.

The bulky truck refuses construction and demolition debris, and the city regulates the route instead. A covered project has to reuse, salvage or recycle at least 65 percent of its debris under the California Green Building Standards Code and Encinitas Municipal Code 11.22, file a Waste Management Plan that estimates the debris types and names the destination facilities, and keep weight tickets to prove the diversion at completion. Hauling is covered by the city's franchise agreement with EDCO, so a project uses EDCO or self-hauls with its own staff and equipment, and a non-franchised third party hauler is prohibited.
City cost & eligibility
EDCO quotes its own dumpster, roll-off box and storage container prices and the city publishes no container rate, so ask EDCO for the price. The diversion requirement and the Waste Management Plan are separate from the container charge.
When & how
Order a three cubic yard dumpster, a roll-off box or a storage container from EDCO for the project, or self-haul with your own staff and equipment, and file the Waste Management Plan with the project submittal.
Get it ready
Separate asphalt, concrete, drywall, metals, brick, rock, tile, clean untreated wood, cardboard, carpet, insulation, plastic film and PVC pipe for the recycling facility, and keep hazardous waste, asphalt shingles, clay roof tile, ceiling tile, yard waste and painted or treated wood out of that material.
Encinitas residents receive one free cleanup coupon each year to dispose of large unwanted items at the Palomar Transfer Station, and the coupon and its instructions arrive in the Environmental Times newsletter inserted in the billing statement. A resident arriving with a manual trailer has to go to the Escondido Resource Recovery facility instead, which takes those loads on Saturdays and Sundays from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Carts go to street level with the wheels against the curb and out of the way of traffic, with at least two feet between carts and three feet from obstructions, and everything out by 6 a.m. on the service day or the night before. There is no residential collection on New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day or Christmas Day, and the rest of that week runs one day late; a holiday that falls on a weekend does not delay the week.
A covered project files the plan and keeps the tickets
A covered building project in Encinitas has to achieve at least 65 percent reuse, salvage or recycling of its generated material, submit a Waste Management Plan that estimates the debris types and quantities and names the destination facilities, and retain weight ticket receipts to show the diversion at completion. The hauling itself is covered by the city's franchise agreement with EDCO, so the choice is EDCO or self-haul with the project's own staff and equipment, and a non-franchised third party hauler is prohibited.
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.
A household or contractor with a remodel, site cleanup or demolition load that the bulky truck refuses.
Cost & conditions
EDCO quotes its own prices for the three cubic yard dumpster, the roll-off box and the storage container, and the city publishes no container rate, so ask EDCO for the price and the free estimate.
Arrange it
Call EDCO to order the dumpster, roll-off box or storage container, have it delivered to the site, and arrange the pickup when the work is finished.
Hazardous waste, asphalt shingles, clay roof tile, ceiling tile, yard waste and painted or treated wood are not accepted in the construction, demolition and inerts material the EDCO facilities sort.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Construction debris removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Encinitas.
How much does construction debris removal cost in Encinitas?+
Pricing is per accepted item. A detached door is $99 as a single item, an ordinary toilet is $79, and a small bathroom vanity is $99. Larger vanities have their own choices. Select the listed items to see the exact combined price. These prices do not cover mixed rubble or loose building materials. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; applicable sales tax appears before payment.
Can I get same-day toilet or vanity pickup in Encinitas?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Checkout shows the dates you can choose. Arrange disconnection, removal and the move outside first, then have the fixture ready by the time in your confirmation. We text you before arrival and provide pickup photos when it is done.
Will you disconnect a sink or take a door off its hinges?+
The fixture must already be detached, disconnected and accessible outside at ground level. Arrange plumbing, electrical work, removal from walls or hinges, and indoor carrying before pickup. Dropcurb handles loading and haul-away from your outdoor pickup spot.
Can I add bags of drywall, tile or other demolition waste?+
Mixed drywall, tile, concrete, lumber and demolition rubble are not accepted. This page offers pickup for the listed doors, toilets and bathroom vanities that are already removed. Do not book loose building materials as household trash bags or as an extra item. Arrange suitable disposal for those materials with your contractor or a debris specialist.
Can a door, toilet and vanity go in the same pickup?+
Yes. Add each listed fixture separately and choose the correct vanity size. Each detached door panel counts as one item. The combined price appears before you book. Keep the fixtures together outside, separate from anything staying, and add a location photo on your order page.
Who can haul construction debris in Encinitas?+
A project may use EDCO, because hauling in Encinitas is covered by the city's franchise agreement with EDCO Waste and Recycling Services, or it may self-haul the debris with its own staff and equipment. A non-franchised third party hauler is prohibited under Encinitas Municipal Code 11.20.030. A covered project also has to divert at least 65 percent of its debris, file a Waste Management Plan, and keep weight tickets to show the diversion at completion.Official guidance
Who runs trash collection in Encinitas?+
EDCO Waste and Recycling Services collects under the city's franchise agreement, running the three stream curbside carts, the bulky item pickups and the construction and demolition hauling. The City of Encinitas Public Works Trash and Recycling program runs the rules and the education side and answers at (760) 633-2850 or recycling@encinitasca.gov, and collection problems can be reported through the MyEncinitas app.Official guidance
What can go in the three carts in Encinitas?+
Every Encinitas household is enrolled in three stream curbside service. The recycling cart takes glass bottles and jars, cans, aluminum foil, rigid plastics, mixed paper, cardboard, cartons and clean empty food and beverage containers; the organics cart takes food scraps and yard waste; and the trash cart takes what is left. Batteries, bulbs, electronic waste, chemicals, needles, tires and construction material are refused in all three and go on their own routes.Official guidance
