Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in San Francisco.
How much does appliance removal cost in San Francisco?+
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 Francisco?+
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.
Does Recology accept refrigerators in San Francisco?+
Residential refrigerators appear on the accepted list. Confirm the unit and preparation when booking, especially because the list also excludes oversized items.Official guidance
Can apartment residents schedule Recology directly?+
Yes. Tenants in a participating building may contact Recology directly for their annual collection. The property must have an active eligible account.Official guidance
Can I pay for more bulky appointments after my allowance?+
The dedicated bulky-program FAQ currently says additional appointments beyond the yearly allotment cannot be scheduled. Check transfer-station or other receiving options when the allowance is used.Official guidance
