Appliances and white goods

Accepted with preparation

Appliances are named on the trash cart refusal list, so a refrigerator, washer or dryer goes on the bulky item pickup like other large pieces.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Brea residents on the Republic Services franchise, within the published allowance of three free bulky item pickups a year with up to 20 items per collection.
When & how
Call Republic Services at (714) 238-2444 to book the pickup and set the appliance out only on the scheduled pickup date.
Get it ready
Empty and defrost the unit and secure or remove the doors and drawers. Keep the appliance out of the black cart, which the city's list says refuses appliances, and keep anything holding refrigerant on the booked route.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

The black cart is not the route for large pieces

The trash cart is for everything that is not recyclable, but its unacceptable list names appliances, bulk items, electronics, batteries, fluorescent tubes and lights, concrete, construction debris, dirt, liquids, oil, grease, mirrors, sharps and hazardous or medical waste. Large pieces therefore leave on the bulky item pickup and electronics on the e-waste pickup, both arranged with Republic Services at (714) 238-2444.

Three free bulky pickups a year, twenty items each

A Brea household gets three free bulky item pickups a year with up to 20 items per collection, and electronic waste pickups are published separately with no limit. Nothing goes to the curb before the scheduled pickup date, and building materials and hazardous waste are not accepted in a bulky collection.

For your Dropcurb pickup

Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.

City of Brea and Republic Services

Book one of the free bulky item pickups

Brea households with furniture, a mattress, an appliance or another large item that will not fit a cart.

Cost & conditions
No charge. Brea residents on the Republic Services franchise, for three free bulky item pickups a year with up to 20 items per collection.
Arrange it
Call Republic Services at (714) 238-2444 to schedule, and put the items out only on the pickup date they confirm.

Three collections a year, 20 items per collection, and no building materials or hazardous waste. Appliances, bulk items and electronics are refused in the trash cart, so this is the route for anything too large for a cart.

Review the bulky item page

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Brea runs the routes through Republic Services, and almost everything unusual starts with a call to (714) 238-2444. The three carts take everyday material, but the black trash cart refuses appliances, bulk items, electronics, batteries, fluorescent tubes, concrete, construction debris, dirt, liquids and sharps. Large pieces go on a bulky item pickup, with three free collections a year of up to twenty items each, and electronic waste has its own pickup with no limit. Mattresses can also go back to a retailer or through the county mattress recycling route, and household hazardous waste, including paint, oil and batteries, goes to a County of Orange collection centre rather than any cart. A renovation project files a Green Halo waste management plan with at least 65 per cent diversion and uses the franchise hauler's containers.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Brea.

How much does appliance removal cost in Brea?

A full-size household refrigerator is $109 as a single item. A washing machine is $109, and a dryer is $109. Other appliances have their own catalog prices. Choose each item to see your exact total before booking; disposal and recycling costs are included in the item price.

Can I get same-day appliance pickup in Brea?

Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Checkout shows the dates you can choose. Your pickup is scheduled for a day rather than an exact arrival appointment, and we text you before arrival. Have the appliance disconnected and ready outside by your pickup readiness time.

Can you take a washing machine and dryer in one pickup?

Yes. Add one Washing machine and one Dryer so both units are included in the price. They are separate items, even when you bought them as a set. If yours is a single combined unit or the machines still need to be unstacked, contact us before booking to confirm the scope.

Will you disconnect my appliance or carry it out?

Dropcurb picks up appliances that are already disconnected and accessible outside at ground level. Arrange uninstallation, utility disconnection and indoor carrying before pickup. Use a qualified professional for gas, hardwired or plumbing connections when needed. We handle loading and haul-away from the outdoor pickup spot.

Can I book if the delivery company did not take my old appliance?

Yes. Dropcurb pickup is separate from buying or installing a replacement, so you can book removal on its own. Select the old appliance, choose a pickup day and arrange for it to be disconnected and accessible outside. If your new delivery is still ahead, confirm the retailer’s haul-away arrangements before booking a separate pickup.

Will Brea take an appliance in the trash cart?

No. Appliances are on the trash cart's unacceptable materials list, so they go on a bulky item pickup instead. Brea residents get three free bulky item pickups a year with up to 20 items each, scheduled with Republic Services at (714) 238-2444.Official guidance

Which carts does a Brea household have?

Three: trash in the black cart, recycling in the dark green cart or one with a blue lid, and organics in the brown cart or one with a green lid, in 96, 65 or 35 gallon sizes with load ratings of 335, 230 and 130 pounds. Recycling takes clean cans, foil, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, paper, cartons and plastic containers, and organics take loose or paper-bagged yard and food material with no plastic or compostable bags.Official guidance
