Refrigerators, washers, dryers and other appliances
Accepted with preparation
An appliance is one of the three items the annual bulky allowance can carry, provided it weighs less than 200 pounds. The household hazardous waste facility does not take appliances and sends them to the Loveridge Road recycling center and transfer station, so a self-haul trip is the alternative route.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. One appliance a calendar year through the bulky item allowance for a household with regular paid garbage service, under 200 pounds; the household hazardous waste facility refuses appliances.
When & how
Book with Mt. Diablo Resource Recovery at (925) 682-9113 for curb collection, or take the unit to the recycling center and transfer station at 1300 Loveridge Road, open from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Get it ready
Empty the unit before it leaves, keep it upright and clear of the carts and parked cars, and confirm the load with the transfer station if you are self-hauling, because the county household hazardous waste program does not accept appliances.
Garbage, recycling and organics are collected weekly, and carts have to be at the curb by 5 a.m. on the service day with the contents below the rim and the lid properly closed. Garbage carts are the 64 or 96 gallon brown or black cart, recycling goes in the blue 64 gallon cart, and organics go in the 96 gallon green cart.
One big item a year, or a bagged load twice a year
The bulky allowance takes a single item, under 200 pounds, and it may be an appliance, a large piece of furniture or an electronic. The on-call allowance instead takes up to twelve 32 gallon bags of household garbage or yard waste at 50 pounds or less a bag, with branches bundled no larger than 18 inches by 3 feet, twice a calendar year and at least a week apart. Neither route takes construction material, and the bag route also refuses furniture, carpets, appliances and e-waste.
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 Pittsburg and Mt. Diablo Resource Recovery
Use the annual bulky item pickup
A Pittsburg household with one appliance, one large piece of furniture or one electronic that will not fit a cart and weighs less than 200 pounds.
Cost & conditions
No charge. One item a calendar year as part of regular paid garbage service, under 200 pounds, chosen from an appliance, large furniture or an electronic.
Arrange it
Schedule with Mt. Diablo Resource Recovery at (925) 682-9113 and set the item at the curb on the scheduled collection day.
Only one item is allowed, it has to stay under 200 pounds, and mattresses and exercise equipment are not named on the published examples, so those have to be confirmed first.
City recycling center and transfer station for self-hauled waste and appliances
Recycling Center and Transfer Station
1300 Loveridge Road, Pittsburg, CA 94565
Self-hauled residential waste from Pittsburg households, including the appliances the Delta household hazardous waste facility refuses, and bare uncut Christmas trees at no charge until January 31.
The city's municipal code sets out the self-haul rules in section 8.04.250, and the county household hazardous waste program sends appliances here because it does not take them, so confirm the accepted material and the gate charge for the specific load before loading.
7 a.m. to 6 p.m., phone (925) 473-0180.
The site prices a self-hauled load at the gate rather than publishing a flat rate, so ask at (925) 473-0180 what the load will cost before you drive out.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Pittsburg.
How much does appliance removal cost in Pittsburg?+
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 Pittsburg?+
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 Pittsburg?+
An appliance is one of the three items the annual bulky allowance can collect, as long as it weighs under 200 pounds, and it is booked with Mt. Diablo Resource Recovery at (925) 682-9113. The Delta household hazardous waste facility does not take appliances and sends them to the recycling center and transfer station at 1300 Loveridge Road.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Pittsburg?+

Can scrap metal be collected?+
