At WM, we're proud to take care of our San Diego County neighbors — and our planet — with residential trash pickup, organics and recycling services.
If you are looking to donate, recycle, or dispose of a bulky item at home, fear no more. I Love A Clean San Diego runs the WasteFreeSD database and hotline that can help you find pick-up and drop off centers around the county of San Diego that accept a variety of bulky items and other objects.
Visit wastefreesd to find drop-off locations for recycling, donating, or disposing of large items. Items like couches, refrigerators, and mattresses can be recycled and turned into new products, keeping them out of landfills and reducing environmental harm.
To dispose of old furniture, consider donation to charities, sale via online marketplaces, or recycling through local facilities. Many cities offer bulk trash pickup services for large items. Alternatively, repurpose materials into DIY projects or refurbish the furniture for resale.
