An appliance is the third example the city gives for a large item cleanup, so a washer, dryer, stove or refrigerator leaves on the same free programme, with the bag rules about weight and size applying to anything that goes in a bag.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the four free bulky item cleanups a single-family household gets in a rolling twelve-month period, spaced at least eight weeks apart. Extra clean-ups and additional bulky or e-waste items are collected for a fee.
When & how
Book with Milpitas Sanitation at 408-988-4500, and if the appliance is going in a bag rather than standing as a large item, have it at the curb by 6:00 a.m. with the bags filled twenty-four hours beforehand.
Get it ready
Empty the unit, keep an appliance out of a 1.5 cubic yard bag if it weighs more than 75 pounds because the bag limit refuses it, and ask about refrigerant handling when booking.
Single-family households in Milpitas get four free bulky item cleanups in a rolling twelve-month period, and the cleanups have to be spaced at least eight weeks apart, so the allowance is not four trips in one month. Book with Milpitas Sanitation at 408-988-4500, and expect the hauler to deliver the 1.5 cubic yard bags when that option is used. Extra clean-ups beyond the four are arranged for a fee.
Bags are filled at the curb and nothing heavy goes inside
The bag option works on a weight and size rule. Two company-provided 1.5 cubic yard bags, or up to fourteen of your own 32-gallon bags, are filled at the curb and not more than twenty-four hours before the scheduled collection, everything has to fit inside without protruding, and anything over 75 pounds cannot go in a bag at all. Loose material placed outside the bags is refused, wood has to be shorter than three feet, and treated wood waste, automobile parts, dirt, sod, cement, rock, brick and hazardous waste never belong in a clean-up. Bags and items are at the curb by 6:00 a.m., with vehicles moved clear.
Hazardous waste does not belong in any cart, bin or bag. Paint, petroleum products, acids and bases, batteries, poisons, pesticides, pool chemicals, solvents, fluorescent lamps, propane and sharps go to Santa Clara County's household hazardous waste programme, which is free with an appointment and also takes e-waste. Medications are no longer accepted at the county's San Jose and San Martin permanent facilities. For reusable items, the Goodwill store at 311 W Calaveras Boulevard takes clothing, housewares, electronics including working and non-working sets, printers, microwaves, vacuums, sellable furniture and small appliances, while it refuses large appliances, large furniture, batteries, liquids and hazardous chemicals.
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.
A single-family household with a mattress, a piece of furniture, an appliance, bags of loose clutter or a small pile of items that cannot go in the carts.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Four free bulky item cleanups per rolling twelve-month period for single-family residential customers, spaced at least eight weeks apart. Each clean-up covers one large item or two 1.5 cubic yard bags on the city page, and the hauler's page allows up to three bulky items or up to fourteen 32-gallon bags. Extra clean-ups and additional items carry a fee.
Arrange it
Call Milpitas Sanitation at 408-988-4500, have the bags delivered if that option is used, fill them at the curb up to twenty-four hours ahead, and put everything out by 6:00 a.m. on the scheduled day.
Four clean-ups a rolling twelve months with at least eight weeks between them, nothing over 75 pounds in a bag, wood under three feet, and no loose material outside the bags, treated wood, auto parts, dirt, sod, cement, rock, brick or hazardous waste.
Book a county household hazardous waste appointment
A household with paint, petroleum products, acids or bases, batteries, pesticides, poisons, pool chemicals, solvents, fluorescent lamps, propane, smoke detectors, sharps or electronic waste.
Cost & conditions
No charge. The county programme takes a free appointment from residents for household hazardous waste at its drop-off locations, with temporary drop-off events also listed.
Arrange it
Make a free appointment on the county website, or use one of its temporary drop-off events, then take the material to the location on the scheduled date.
Medications are no longer accepted at the county's San Jose and San Martin permanent facilities, so they go to a kiosk or mail-back programme instead, and the county publishes locations and hours separately from the programme page.
Arrange a multi-family clean-up through the property
A resident of a multi-family complex whose property manager wants to arrange a bulky item pickup or clean-up for the building.
Cost & conditions
Multi-family complexes can arrange a bulky item pickup or clean-up for a fee, and the city states that all fees must be prepaid. The hauler does not publish the amount on the pages read, so the property manager confirms the price with Milpitas Sanitation at 408-988-4500.
Arrange it
The property manager orders the service from Milpitas Sanitation, prepays the fee, and coordinates where residents place their material.
This is a paid service rather than part of the single-family allowance, and the same item limits and refused materials apply to what the crew will take.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Milpitas.
How much does appliance removal cost in Milpitas?+
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 Milpitas?+
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.
How do I get rid of a washer or refrigerator in Milpitas?+
An appliance is one of the large item examples the city gives for the free bulky item cleanup, booked with Milpitas Sanitation at 408-988-4500. A single-family household gets four clean-ups in a rolling twelve-month period spaced at least eight weeks apart. Anything placed in a 1.5 cubic yard bag has to weigh less than 75 pounds, so a heavy appliance goes out as the large item rather than in a bag.Official guidance
Who collects trash and bulky items in Milpitas?+
Milpitas Sanitation collects residential garbage, recycling, yard trimmings and bulky items under the city's franchise, with customer service at 408-988-4500 Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and a city reuse line at 408-586-2600 for staff questions.

How many free cleanups does a Milpitas household get?+
Four free bulky item cleanups in a rolling twelve-month period for single-family residential customers, and they have to be scheduled at least eight weeks apart. Each one covers a bag option or a large item pickup, and extra clean-ups beyond the four are arranged for a fee with Milpitas Sanitation at 408-988-4500.Official guidance
What are the rules for the Milpitas cleanup bags?+
Two 1.5 cubic yard bags provided by the hauler, or up to fourteen of your own 32-gallon bags, filled at the curb no more than twenty-four hours before collection and out by 6 a.m. on the scheduled day. Everything has to fit inside without protruding, no item over 75 pounds, wood shorter than three feet, and loose material outside the bags, treated wood waste, auto parts, dirt, sod, cement, rock, brick and hazardous waste are refused.Official guidance
Where do paint, batteries and fluorescent lamps go in Milpitas?+
To Santa Clara County's household hazardous waste programme, which is free with an appointment and takes flammable items such as paints and gasoline, corrosive items such as acids, bases and batteries, toxic items such as pesticides and solvents, oxidizers such as pool chemicals, and additional items including e-waste, propane, helium, small oxygen tanks, smoke detectors, fluorescent lamps and sharps. Medications are no longer accepted at the county's San Jose and San Martin permanent facilities.Official guidance
Can I donate usable furniture or electronics in Milpitas instead?+
Yes. The city lists the Goodwill of Silicon Valley store at 311 W Calaveras Boulevard, which takes clothing, housewares, shoes, books, jewelry, working and non-working electronics, printers, microwaves, vacuums, sellable furniture and small appliances. It does not take large appliances, large furniture, batteries, weapons, trash, liquids of any kind or hazardous chemicals, and the city suggests calling to confirm hours and items first.Official guidance
