Refrigerators, washers, dryers and other appliances
Special rules apply
Appliances are named on the city's bulky waste list and are also accepted at the large recyclables drop-off, where anything with a cord qualifies but an appliance containing Freon does not. The two routes together cover a washer, a dryer, a stove or a water heater, and a refrigerator or freezer needs the Freon question settled first.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free on one of the three bulky pickups a household may book each year through Republic Services at (916) 635-2500, and free at the Special Waste Collection Center drop-off within the one truck-size load a month allowed to Elk Grove residents; an appliance containing Freon is not accepted at the drop-off.
When & how
Book the pickup with Republic for the regular trash day, or take the unit to the Special Waste Collection Center on Disposal Lane, which is open Saturday through Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Get it ready
Empty and drain the unit, keep it upright for transport, and if it holds refrigerant confirm the route with Republic or the center before loading it, because the drop-off refuses Freon appliances and an appliance with a circuit board counts as e-waste.
A bulky pile goes out on the appointment day, not before
The pile goes in front of the residence on the same side of the street, no more than 24 hours before the appointment, because the city warns that setting material out sooner can bring a citation for illegal dumping and that this includes material strangers add to the pile. The maximum is 7 by 6 by 4 feet, or five cubic yards, and a resident who expects more should say so when booking so the extra can be priced instead of left behind.
The Special Waste Collection Center is for Elk Grove residents only and is open Saturday through Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. A resident may bring one truck-size load a month of hard-to-recycle material at no additional charge, and the load has to arrive in a privately owned vehicle with no business markings, because business and contractor waste is refused. The recycling area and reuse room allow ten items a month for each household.
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.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Elk Grove.
How much does appliance removal cost in Elk Grove?+
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 Elk Grove?+
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.
Where does a refrigerator go in Elk Grove?+
Start with Republic Services at (916) 635-2500, because the bulky pickup list names appliances but the Special Waste Collection Center refuses anything containing Freon. A washer, dryer, stove or water heater can go out on one of the three free bulky pickups or to the drop-off center with the monthly load, while a refrigerator or freezer has to have its route confirmed first.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Elk Grove?+
Republic Services hauls residential waste for the city under an exclusive franchise, and it handles the curbside carts, the bulky pickups, the e-waste and sharps appointments and the used oil collection at (916) 635-2500. The city runs the Special Waste Collection Center on Disposal Lane and answers questions through its recycling and waste division.Official guidance
What does the monthly waste rate include?+
Weekly trash and organics collection, recycling every other week, up to three recycle and organics carts, curbside pickup of used motor oil, oil filters and batteries, e-waste and sharps pickups by appointment, three bulky item pickups a year of up to five cubic yards, one trip to the Elder Creek Transfer Station a year, holiday tree collection from December 26 through January, free household hazardous waste drop-offs at the Special Waste Collection Center and free compost twice a year.Official guidance
Can a contractor use the Elk Grove drop-off?+
No. The large recyclables drop-off is for Elk Grove residents only, business and contractor waste is refused, and material has to arrive in a privately owned vehicle with no business markings. A contractor working at an Elk Grove home has to arrange its own disposal, and the city's construction and demolition page sets out the CalGreen diversion requirement that applies to projects.Official guidance
What is the reuse room?+
It is part of the Special Waste Collection Center, where residents may pick up usable products that were dropped off, and the city allows ten items a month for each household. Access to the recycling area and the reuse room comes with the residential solid waste service.Official guidance
