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.

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.

Match your item

Construction cleanup starts with the right items.

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.

  1. Arrange the removal work

    Have the fixture safely detached and any plumbing or electrical connections handled by an appropriate professional. We do not remove installed fixtures or perform demolition.

  2. Keep the booked items separate

    Have the fixtures empty and ready at ground level. Keep them apart from rubble, loose renovation materials, tools and anything you want to keep.

  3. Show the outdoor handoff

    Use a permitted outdoor spot with a clear path. Add a location photo and notes on your order page so the right entrance and the right items are easy to identify.

Construction and demolition debris

Special rules apply

Santee collects a permit deposit on construction and demolition projects and requires proof that at least 65 per cent of the waste by weight was recycled or reused, and the landfill passes cover concrete.

City cost & eligibility
The city publishes a refundable permit deposit rather than a disposal price, and any private container or receiving facility sets its own charge. Confirm the deposit, the documentation and the current facility rates before the load moves.
When & how
File the construction debris management forms with the permit, haul the material to a construction and demolition recycling center or the Sycamore Landfill, and submit documentation and proof of at least 65 per cent diversion by weight to have the deposit refunded.
Get it ready
Separate recyclable and reusable material from what will be landfilled and keep the receipts and weight records, because the deposit is only refunded with documented diversion. A homeowner can use one of the two free Sycamore Landfill passes for concrete or up to a ton of other waste, and paint, solvents and chemicals go to the hazardous waste route instead of the debris pile.

Right item.

Large loads go out on a free landfill pass

The city publishes no curbside bulky programme, so bulky items, concrete and up to one ton of other solid waste go to the Sycamore Landfill on one of the two free passes a homeowner gets each year. Passes come from the landfill office near the entrance at 8514 Mast Blvd., are issued Monday to Friday from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm against a driver's licence and a residential water or electric bill, are valid for one year and cannot be replaced if lost.

Paint and chemicals need an appointment

Household hazardous waste goes to the permanent facility operated by Waste Management in El Cajon, open on the second and fourth Saturdays of the month by appointment only, booked at 619-596-5100, with no charge currently for disposal and a load limit of 125 pounds or 15 gallons. Explosives, medical waste and business waste are refused. Motor oil and used oil filters are collected curbside by appointment, and prescription medications go in the lobby bin at the Santee Sheriff's Station on 8811 Cuyamaca Street.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Construction debris removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Santee.

How much does construction debris removal cost in Santee?

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 Santee?

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.

What does a Santee construction project have to file?

A deposit is collected at permit issuance for demolition, new residential construction including single-family, multi-family and condo conversions, residential additions and accessory structures, new commercial and industrial buildings, and tenant improvements that involve demolition, with exemptions in Chapter 9.04 of the Santee Municipal Code. At the end of the work you must submit documentation and proof that 65 per cent or more of the construction and demolition waste by weight was recycled or reused, and the full deposit is refunded when that goal is met.Official guidance
