Annual residential curbside cleanup

Accepted with preparation

Madera runs one citywide curbside cleanup a year for excess trash, rubbish and bulky items that normal weekly service will not take, and single-family homes inside the city limits are the households that qualify.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. The cleanup is an event rather than a per item charge, and it is open to single-family homes inside the Madera city limits. Unincorporated Madera County addresses, multi-family dwellings and commercial businesses are excluded by name.
When & how
The cleanup takes place annually in the spring and moves through two zones on published dates. The 2026 window ran from February 16 to 27 in Zone 1 and March 2 to 13 in Zone 2, the city says the detail arrives in the utility bill, and zone maps are posted at least one week before service starts in an area. Debris may go out up to three days before the scheduled cleanup date.
Get it ready
Keep the pile to 5 feet by 5 feet by 10 feet, about one truckload, and set it at least six inches away from the curb so sewer vents, water inlets, mailboxes and fire hydrants stay clear. Sort debris, appliances, mattresses, electronics, green waste and general trash into separate groups, and bag or box all loose debris. Anything on the ineligible list is left behind and has to be removed within 24 hours after the scheduled cleanup date.

Appliances and white goods

Accepted with preparation

Appliances are sorted as their own group in the annual curbside cleanup and they are named in the hauler's bulky item service list, but they never belong in a cart.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. An appliance goes out with the annual curbside cleanup at no extra charge for a single-family home inside the city limits. Outside the cleanup window the route is a Mid Valley Disposal bulky item pickup, which is quoted on contact.
When & how
Put the appliance with the sorted cleanup pile up to three days before the scheduled cleanup date, or order a bulky item pickup at 559-237-9425 and wait for the confirmed job order.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and keep it out of the gray cart, because the hauler asks that bulky items not go into a container. Keep the appliance inside the cleanup pile limit, and remember that batteries, fluorescent tubes and items containing a battery are refused in the cleanup.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Build the cleanup pile to the published limits

The annual curbside cleanup takes one pile per single-family home inside the city limits, no larger than 5 feet by 5 feet by 10 feet and roughly one truckload. Put it out up to three days before the scheduled cleanup date, at least six inches back from the curb so sewer vents, water inlets, mailboxes and fire hydrants stay clear, and bag or box anything loose.

Annual residential curbside cleanup page with eligibility, pile limits, placement and sorting rules, the ineligible item list and the published zone dates

Sort the pile so each crew can take its part

The city asks residents to separate debris, appliances, mattresses, electronics, green waste and general trash rather than mixing them into one heap. Sorting is what lets the crew and the recycling routes handle each group, and it is also why a mattress and an appliance should not end up buried under loose rubbish.

Refused items stay at your curb

Tires, batteries and items containing batteries, paint and liquids, propane tanks, needles, dirt and rock, 50-gallon drums, items over four feet long and items over 150 pounds are all refused in the cleanup. Anything refused is left at the curb and has to be removed by the resident within 24 hours after the scheduled cleanup date, so keep those out of the pile in the first place.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Madera has no city landfill, so a self hauled load goes to the Fairmead Landfill, also called the Mammoth Recycling Facility and Transfer Station, at 21739 Road 19 in Chowchilla. It is open Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., and it is closed Sundays and major holidays. The site is owned by Madera County and operated under contract with Red Rock Environmental Group, and it is open to the public for self haulers. Televisions and computer monitors are accepted free of charge, and electronic waste generally can be dropped there during open hours. The same site runs the county household hazardous waste window on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. for Madera County residents, with businesses served by appointment. Paint has its own retail route, because vendors take up to five gallons of latex and oil-based paint, stains and varnish, and the city lists Sherwin-Williams at 1809 Howard Rd. The city's recycling guide also points at free waste tire recycling events, a line for tires left in the public right of way, and free used oil and filter bags available at 1030 S. Gateway Drive while supplies last. A per load gate rate is not published on the city or county pages read here, so confirm the charge at 559-665-1310 before loading.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

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

How much does appliance removal cost in Madera?

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 Madera?

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.

When is the Madera curbside cleanup?

It is an annual spring event that moves through two zones. The 2026 window ran from February 16 to 27 in Zone 1 and March 2 to 13 in Zone 2. The city says a flyer with the scheduled day for each area arrives in the utility bill, and zone maps go up at least one week before service starts in an area.Official guidance

Who can use the citywide curbside cleanup?

Single-family homes inside the Madera city limits. The city excludes unincorporated areas of Madera County, multi-family dwellings and commercial businesses, so an apartment resident has to ask the property manager or order a pickup from the hauler instead.Official guidance

How big can the cleanup pile be?

No larger than 5 feet by 5 feet by 10 feet, roughly one truckload, and it goes at least six inches away from the curb so it does not block sewer vents, water inlets, mailboxes or fire hydrants. Loose debris has to be bagged or boxed, and the city asks residents to separate debris, appliances, mattresses, electronics, green waste and general trash.Official guidance

What will the cleanup leave behind?

Lawnmowers and two-stroke motors, auto parts, construction and demolition material, light bulbs and fluorescent tubes, flammable or hazardous material, pool chemicals, pesticides, propane tanks and compressed cylinders, needles and medical waste, paint and paint products, liquids, all batteries and anything containing a battery, dirt, rock, sod and asphalt, 50-gallon drums, tires, and anything over four feet long or 150 pounds. The city leaves ineligible items at the curb and the resident has to remove them within 24 hours after the scheduled cleanup date.Official guidance

Will appliances be collected in the Madera cleanup?

Yes. The city asks residents to sort appliances into their own group in the cleanup pile, and appliances are also listed among the items Mid Valley Disposal collects in its bulky item temporary service. They never belong in the gray garbage cart.Official guidance

Do appliances go to the household hazardous waste facility?

The household hazardous waste facility at the Fairmead Landfill takes items such as old paint, batteries, fluorescent lights, thermometers, waste oil and gasoline, and it runs on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. for county residents. An appliance belongs on the cleanup pile or on an ordered pickup rather than at that window.Official guidance

Resolution 22-103 set a five year schedule effective August 1, 2022, and its attachment lists the three standard residential containers at $49.31 a month as a maximum in the fiscal year 2026/27 column, noting that the later columns are maximum rates that may be adjusted by future Council action. City Utility Billing at 559-661-5459 confirms the amount billed on the account.Official guidance
