- Carpet cannot be mixed with other CDI — separate load, for a fee.
- Put the project address and permit number on the receipt.
Heads up
- Weekday close is 4pm in EDCO's hours but 4:30pm in its FAQ — confirm.
- City directory marks trash here; EDCO says no solid waste (an EDCO transfer operation shares the address).
- Bye Bye Mattress lists this address as a free drop-off for residents and businesses, 10 max.
Tip: Best North County credit for clean remodel C&D; avoid the 12–12:30pm closure and pull brick and roofing first.
