Named dumps, transfer stations, and HHW sites tied to this city’s research. Confirm hours on the official source.
Items that share the same official city or county source are grouped here. Alias items open this program section; core guides stay on their own page.
Mattresses, furniture, and many appliances — city bulk or drop-off, not the regular cart.
Official source:

Household hazardous waste — used oil, paint, propane, batteries, and chemicals.

TVs, computers, and electronics. Usually banned from trash and the blue bin.
Official source:
Carlsbad electronics including e waste mixed go on bulky pickup or drop at Palomar Transfer Station, 5960 El Camino Real (Mon–Sat 8–4). Wipe data.
Construction debris, concrete, and remodel waste — transfer station or roll-off.
Official source:
Carlsbad does not publish a residential C&D self-haul depot. Permitted projects follow CALGreen diversion. Hire private C&D. Route paint to Vista HHW.
Yard waste, food scraps, and cooking oil where the city has a separate stream.
Official source:
Carlsbad yard waste goes in the green organics cart.
Cart recycling, store film take-back, and foam rules — not a second bulky program.
Official source:
Carlsbad recycling carts do not want expanded polystyrene (EPS). White block foam, packing peanuts, and food trays are different streams. Grocery film/bag bins are not a foam drop-off. City of Carlsbad — Bulky Item Collection is the official Carlsbad program we verified — if that page only mentions plastic bags or film, treat block foam and food trays as bagged garbage unless it names a foam densifier. Clean peanuts may be reused at a shipper; starch peanuts are not EPS.
