Mattresses, furniture, and many appliances — city bulk or drop-off, not the regular cart.
Official source:
City of San Diego residential customers schedule free bulky item pickup (mattresses, furniture, large household items) through Get It Done or by calling Environmental Services at 858-694-7000. Confirm your current annual allotment and setout day when you book. Do not put HHW, construction debris, or chemicals in the bulky pile.
Household hazardous waste — used oil, paint, propane, batteries, and chemicals.
Official source:
Do not trash HHW in San Diego. City residents use the Miramar HHW Transfer Facility at 5161 Convoy Street by appointment only (Wed & Sat 9 a.m.–3 p.m., except holidays). Accepted examples include paint, batteries, used oil/filters, fluorescents/LEDs, and other household chemicals. Bring picture ID or a recent bill showing City residency.

City of San Diego residents drop electronics and HHW free at the Miramar Household Hazardous Waste Transfer Facility (5161 Convoy Street, landfill entrance) by appointment only — Wednesdays & Saturdays 9 a.m.–3 p.m. (except holidays; Wednesday appointments noted as available starting April 1, 2026). Book via Get It Done or 858-694-7000. Bring proof of City residency. Limit about 15 gallons or 125 pounds per trip.
Construction debris, concrete, and remodel waste — transfer station or roll-off.
Official source:
Construction debris is not free bulky HHW. Use Miramar Landfill self-haul or a debris box; keep paint for Miramar HHW appointments.
Yard waste, food scraps, and cooking oil where the city has a separate stream.
Official source:
Use City of San Diego organics for routine yard waste. Oversized brush may need bulky scheduling via Get It Done.
Cart recycling, store film take-back, and foam rules — not a second bulky program.
Official source:
San Diego recycling carts do not want Styrofoam. Store film drop-off is not a foam densifier. Treat block foam and food trays as bagged trash unless Environmental Services names an EPS site on City of San Diego Environmental Services — Get It Done bulky. Clean peanuts can sometimes be reused at a parcel store — ask first.
