Large household items are collected on a scheduled bulky item pickup instead of the curb, and the city's page describes four bulky items across two pickups a year at no charge while the hauler's page describes four bulky item pickups in a 12-month period.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The City of Ventura states that residential customers may arrange four bulky items during two pickups a year without charge. E.J. Harrison's own page words the same benefit as four bulky item pickups in a 12-month period at no charge, so confirm the allowance that applies to the address when booking at 805-647-1414 or through the hauler's request form.
When & how
Call 805-647-1414 or 800-41-TRASH, or submit the hauler's online request form. Nothing is collected at the curb on the regular trash day, and the city asks residents not to set a mattress, an appliance or furniture out with the trash carts while a pickup is pending.
Get it ready
Keep the items on the property until the hauler gives you an appointment date, then set them out as directed for that date. Ask the hauler how early to set the pile out, because no citywide bulky set out clock is published. Disposing of it is the whole point of the appointment, so do not include anything you want returned.
Large household appliances and water heaters are named bulky items, and a unit with refrigerant that is self hauled to the transfer station carries the station's Freon extraction charge on top of the disposal charge.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. An appliance goes out on the city's bulky item allowance at no charge. A refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner that is hauled to Gold Coast Recycling instead is charged a Freon extraction charge per unit plus the disposal charge at the scale house.
When & how
Book the pickup at 805-647-1414 or online, or take the unit to Gold Coast Recycling on Colt Street during its open hours.
Get it ready
Empty the unit, remove food and loose parts, and keep it on the property until the pickup is scheduled. The hauler also lists water heaters and old bathroom and kitchen fixtures as common bulky items, so those follow the same route.
Furniture, mattresses and appliances are collected on a scheduled bulky item pickup, and the city asks residents not to set any of it out on the curb with the trash bins. Keep the items on the property until the hauler gives you a pickup date, then set them out as directed.
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.
E.J. Harrison & Sons, the City of Ventura franchise hauler
Book a bulky item pickup
A household with furniture, a mattress, an appliance, a water heater, a carpet, tires, or old bathroom or kitchen fixtures to clear.
Cost & conditions
No charge. The City of Ventura states that residential customers may arrange four bulky items during two pickups a year without charge, and E.J. Harrison's page words the benefit as four bulky item pickups in a 12-month period at no charge. Confirm the allowance for the address when booking at 805-647-1414 or 800-41-TRASH.
Arrange it
Call 805-647-1414 or submit the hauler's online request form, then set the items out as directed for the appointment date instead of on the regular trash day.
The city asks residents not to set bulky items at the curb with the trash carts, and it points usable furniture and appliances at local second hand stores first. A machine that neither the city nor the hauler lists as a bulky item, such as a treadmill, is not covered by this appointment until the hauler confirms it.
Large appliances can be dropped from a self hauler, and a sealed unit with refrigerant is handled with an extraction step at the station.
A unit with refrigerant is charged the Freon extraction charge per unit plus the disposal charge at the scale house, so an appliance with refrigerant usually costs less on a bulky item pickup, where it is collected at no charge. Empty the unit and remove food and loose parts before hauling it.
Gold Coast Recycling is open weekdays from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m., and it is closed Sunday. The recycle buy back center is open Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Phone 805-642-9236, and call before a Saturday trip because the city page and the hauler page publish different Saturday closing times.
The station charges a Freon extraction charge per unit plus the disposal charge for a sealed unit with refrigerant, and it quotes the figure at the scale house, so call 805-642-9236 before hauling a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in San Buenaventura.
How much does appliance removal cost in San Buenaventura?+
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 San Buenaventura?+
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 schedule a bulky item pickup in Ventura?+
Call E.J. Harrison and Sons at 805-647-1414 or 800-41-TRASH, or submit the request form on the hauler's website. Bulky items are not collected on the regular trash route, so the pickup has to be arranged first, and the city asks residents to confirm the allowance that applies when they book.Official guidance
What counts as a bulky item in Ventura?+
The city defines bulky items as discarded large household appliances, furniture, tires, carpets, mattresses and similar large items that need special handling because of their size. The hauler's page lists broken or old furniture, water heaters, mattresses, old bathroom and kitchen fixtures and household appliances among the common bulky items it collects.Official guidance
Can furniture go out with the trash carts?+
No. The city states that old furniture and appliances cannot be set out on the curb with the trash bins, and that a bulky item pickup has to be scheduled instead. Setting the piece out early also risks a report to the city's Safe and Clean Hotline at 805-677-3900.Official guidance
Will Ventura take a refrigerator or a washer?+
Yes. Large household appliances are named in the city's bulky item definition and household appliances appear on the hauler's common bulky item list, so a refrigerator, washer, dryer or stove is collected on a scheduled pickup rather than on the trash route.Official guidance
Is there a charge for an appliance with refrigerant?+
It depends on the route. An appliance collected on a bulky item pickup carries no charge, while a sealed unit such as a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner hauled to Gold Coast Recycling is charged the station's Freon extraction charge per unit plus the disposal charge at the scale house.Official guidance
Who collects trash and recycling in Ventura?+
E.J. Harrison and Sons is the city's exclusive franchise hauler and handles the weekly curbside collection of trash, recycling and yard waste, with residential pricing, billing and cart changes at 805-647-1414 or 800-41-TRASH. The city's Environmental Sustainability division runs the bulky item and household hazardous waste programs and can be reached at 805-652-4525.Official guidance
Do apartments and shared buildings get the same service?+
The city's bulky item program is written for residential customers and the hauler's page addresses residential customers without saying how a multi family property is treated. If you live in an apartment or a shared building, call 805-647-1414 to confirm what the property is eligible for before setting anything out.Official guidance
Does a holiday change my collection day?+
It can. Pickup may be delayed by one day in a holiday week, and the hauler publishes a holiday schedule lookup on its Ventura page. Carts still go out by 7 a.m. on whichever day the route runs.Official guidance
What happens at the monthly household hazardous waste event?+
The events run on the third Saturday of each month except December, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., at Gold Coast Recycling on Colt Street. An appointment is required through 805-652-4525, the events are for City of Ventura residents only, and each visit is limited to 15 gallons or 125 pounds of material. Fireworks, smoke detectors, radioactive and medical waste, explosive material, compressed gas cylinders, tires and trash are refused.Official guidance
