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.

Construction debris is not collected as a bulky item, and every construction and demolition project has to use an approved hauler and an approved recycling facility under a Waste Management Plan.
City cost & eligibility
The City does not collect construction debris through the bulky item process. Material such as concrete, bricks, drywall and lumber has to be removed by an approved hauler or placed in a temporary construction container rented from an authorized private hauler, and the project pays a Performance Security Deposit that is refunded according to the level of diversion it attains. The City does not publish the deposit amount on the pages read, so confirm it with the construction and demolition team at cdwaste@santamonica.gov.
When & how
Submit a Waste Management Plan through the Santa Monica Waste Tracker portal before the project generates debris, take the material to an approved recycling facility with an approved hauler, and file the final compliance report within 30 days of the final inspection sign-off.
Get it ready
Collect weight tickets from the facility that received each material showing the weight or volume, the material type and the project address, plus records for anything salvaged or reused, and log the diverted and landfilled volumes in the Waste Tracker portal. Keep construction material out of the carts and off a bulky pile for the whole project.
The City collects a maximum of five bulky items, and each one has to be too large to fit in a refuse container. Construction debris and household hazardous waste are not part of the program at all, so those move through the construction route or the no cost door-to-door hazardous waste pickup instead.
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 construction, renovation or demolition debris that the bulky collection refuses.
Cost & conditions
The City publishes no price for construction disposal, because the work goes through an approved private hauler and an approved recycling facility that quote the load. The City also requires a Performance Security Deposit, refunded on a form issued after the final submission in an amount that depends on the diversion level attained, and the pages read here do not publish that amount. Confirm the deposit and the approved hauler and facility lists with the construction and demolition team at cdwaste@santamonica.gov.
Arrange it
Submit the Waste Management Plan in the Santa Monica Waste Tracker portal before the project generates debris. The City requires a plan when the project valuation is at least $50,000, when the project area is at least 1,000 square feet, and for every demolition project regardless of valuation or size.
A plan is required, the material has to go to an approved facility with an approved hauler, and the final compliance report with weight tickets and diversion records is due within 30 days of the final inspection sign-off.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Construction debris removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Santa Monica.
How much does construction debris removal cost in Santa Monica?+
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 Santa Monica?+
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.
How do I clear construction debris in Santa Monica?+
Not through the bulky item collection, which refuses construction debris. The material has to be sent to an approved recycling facility, either with an approved hauler or in a temporary construction container rented from an authorized private hauler, and the project is bound by a Waste Management Plan.Official guidance
Does my project need a Waste Management Plan?+
The City requires a plan when the project valuation reaches the City's threshold, when the project area reaches the City's square footage threshold, and for every demolition project regardless of valuation or size. Plan creation, weight ticket uploads and the final compliance report all run through the Santa Monica Waste Tracker portal, and the final report is due within 30 days of the final inspection sign-off.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Santa Monica?+
The City's Resource Recovery and Recycling Division collects refuse, recycling and organics for residential customers and also runs the bulky item collection for residential and commercial customers. Requests go through the City's 311 line at (866) 311-7266 or 311@santamonica.gov, and the division email is zerowaste@santamonica.gov.Official guidance
How is the Santa Monica trash rate set?+
The City adopts a residential rate table, and the one in force for fiscal year 2026-27 runs from July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027 with the amounts billed every two months. The single family cart rates run from one 65 gallon cart with once weekly service up through 95 gallon carts and cart combinations, bin service is listed separately, and recycling and yard waste containers are listed at no charge. Confirm the amount on the account through 311.Official guidance
How does service work for an apartment or condominium building?+
Multi-family buildings use containers from a 300 gallon cart up to two, three and four cubic yard bins, with the rate set by the number of pickups a week, and extra lines cover a lock charge, a bin on city property, shared bin or cart service and bin roll out. A resident requesting a bulky collection gives a unit number with the address so the agent can match the request to the building.Official guidance
Is organics separation required in Santa Monica?+
Yes. The City Council adopted a mandatory recycling ordinance on November 9, 2021, and all households and commercial customers separate waste into a black refuse bin, a blue recycling bin and a green organics and compost bin. There are limited waivers for customers who generate very little organic material or whose building lacks space, subject to City approval.Official guidance
How do tree trimmings go out?+
Tree trimmings are collected as a bulky item, not as loose yard waste. Bundle them no longer than three feet and no heavier than ten pounds each, with a maximum of four bundles, and include them in the five item limit for the bulky collection.Official guidance
Does the City hold recycling events?+
Yes. The Resource Recovery and Recycling Division hosts quarterly recycling events for electronic waste and publishes a yearly list of its events, and batteries are accepted at a number of drop-off sites around the city. The City Yards themselves are not open to the public outside the quarterly events.Official guidance
