These items include broken appliances, water heaters, furniture, old mattresses and other miscellaneous bulky household clutter. To participate in this event, please schedule a pick-up beginning the week of May 1st by calling (858) 350-8544 and put items out curbside by 7:00 AM on Saturday, May 13th for collection. | | | *In the previous Weekly Update, this event was advertised as the larger Bulky Item Event that happens in the Fall and includes drop-off of bulky items at La Colonia, paper shredding, e-waste collection and mulch giveaway.

We apologize for any confusion. | | Solana Beach Community Grants | | | | The City is soliciting grant applications until 5:00 PM, Thursday, May 25, 2023.
