The City of Carlsbad is offering free, curbside pick up of large and bulky items too big for regular trash pick up.  Residents who want to take advantage of this service must make a reservation Jan. 11 to 18.  To make a pick up reservation, call Waste Management, the city’s trash contractor, at 760-929-9400, during the registration period.  Items will be picked up Saturday, Jan. 30.

Some of the eligible items include:

• AC units
• Barbecues (no propane)
• Basketball hoops
• Furniture
• Doors
• Mattresses
• Toilets
• Large appliances
• Water heaters
• File cabinets

For a list of items that qualify for the program and what is not allowed, visit the city’s Web site, www.carlsbadca.gov, under City Services/Environmental Programs.

Residents are limited to two items per pick up day.  The city offers five “bulky item pick up” days a year. 

Computers and televisions are not eligible for pick up.  Electronic items must be discarded at a qualified household hazardous waste facility. Carlsbad residents can take their electronic waste to 2880 Industry St. in Oceanside, 760-929-9400, or 1145 East Taylor St. in Vista, 800-444-4244. Please call ahead for hours of operation.

The city recommends residents consider donating useable goods to charity or allowing others in the community to use them.  Waste Management is a partner with Freecycle, an online network where members give away and receive items for free in their own communities.
