How much does outdoor furniture removal cost in Encinitas?

Outdoor item pickup starts at $79 for your first item. Additional items are +$19 for small pieces (chairs, small tables) or +$29 for standard pieces (patio sets, grills).

Do you pick up grills?

Yes. Remove the propane tank first — we cannot transport propane. Drain grease traps. Place at the curb and we'll handle the rest.

What items don't you accept?

Hot tubs, pianos, concrete, and other items too heavy for one person to curbside. For those, we recommend contacting a full-service junk removal company.

Do you take patio furniture sets?

Yes. Patio tables, chairs, umbrellas, and cushions are all accepted. Stack them at the curb for easy pickup.

Do I need to disassemble a trampoline before pickup?

Ideally, yes — remove the net, poles, and springs so the pieces lay flat at the curb. If you can't fully disassemble it, fold the frame down as much as possible. An assembled trampoline is too large for most hauler trucks. Disassembly takes about 30–45 minutes with basic tools.

What do I do with the propane tank from my grill?

We can't take propane tanks — they're classified as hazardous material. Most hardware stores (Home Depot, Lowe's) and propane exchange locations accept empty tanks. Some cities also accept them at household hazardous waste drop-off events. Remove the tank, then curb the grill and book your pickup.

Does Encinitas pick up outdoor items?

Encinitas Large Item Collection Program offers free monthly service, but the 2-4 week wait between scheduling and actual pickup makes planning difficult. Free monthly service that takes a month to happen isn't really monthly.

Self-hauling to Miramar Landfill in San Diego costs $25-65 per load, while 1-800-GOT-JUNK serves Leucadia and Cardiff-by-the-Sea at $150+ minimum. Residents often coordinate around the city's monthly pickup windows.

What happens to your outdoor item after pickup

Outdoor items with metal frames (grills, patio furniture, trampolines) are recycled for scrap steel and aluminum. Plastic outdoor furniture and resin items are processed at plastics recycling facilities when accepted locally. Wood items like deck furniture and fencing may be recycled or repurposed. Grills must have propane tanks removed before pickup — propane tanks are classified as hazardous material and cannot be transported. Items in good condition (clean patio sets, functional grills) may be donated to local organizations or resold.

Why Encinitas residents choose Dropcurb for outdoor item removal

$79 for same-day pickup vs 2-4 week waits for free Encinitas service. Miramar Landfill costs less but you spend your weekend driving to San Diego and unloading everything yourself.
