First item from $79 · Additional items from $19 each

Your old couch

Sofas, sectionals, recliners — the big stuff that's been in the way since the new one arrived. Wheel it to the curb. A hauler picks it up, same day.

Your old mattress

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

Your old appliances

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

Your old furniture

Desks, dressers, bookshelves, nightstands. Clearing a whole room or just swapping one piece — curb it and it's handled.

Your junk pile

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.

National City's bulk pickup has limits — we don't

National City directs residents to EDCO for trash and bulky-item service, and EDCO states bulky pickup is generally free quarterly and capped at three items per pickup by appointment. That works for planned cleanup, but not for urgent turnover days, landlord deadlines, or HOA pressure. Residents also have to follow set-out timing and material restrictions, with curb placement by early morning on collection day and exclusions for hazardous or construction-heavy streams. Same-day paid pickup fills a real gap when municipal limits are already used or timing is too tight.
