Appliances are recyclable material in Santa Maria and may not be buried with the trash, so they go to the Recycling Park at the regional landfill, which takes stoves, refrigerators, freezers, water heaters, washers and dryers. The landfill fee schedule prices appliances and white goods per item.
City cost & eligibility
$20 per appliance or white goods item at the Santa Maria Regional Landfill on the fee schedule effective January 1, 2026. Santa Maria Regional Landfill customers. Appliances and white goods are on the list of material the landfill will not bury, so they are handled through the Recycling Park at the same site.
When & how
Drive the appliance to the Santa Maria Regional Landfill at 2065 East Main Street, open Monday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., and take it to the Recycling Park rather than the trash face.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and keep it out of the residential carts, and load it in the Recycling Park's published order, which places appliances after scrap metal and before mattresses so the crew can unload in sequence.
Load the vehicle in the order the Recycling Park asks for
The Santa Maria Regional Landfill at 2065 East Main Street is open Monday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., and the Recycling Park sits ahead of the trash face so recyclable material can be sorted instead of buried. The city asks drivers to load in this order from the cab backwards: construction and demolition material, green waste, scrap metal, appliances, mattresses, tires, cardboard, electronic waste, organics, commingled recyclables and concrete last. State law requires recyclable and organic material to be separated from the trash before arrival, and an unsorted load can be charged the posted hard to handle rate.
The hazardous waste drop has its own days and limits
The Household Hazardous Waste Facility is at the same address, on the immediate left after the main gate, and it opens for residents free on Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Each trip is limited to 15 gallons of liquid waste or 125 pounds of dry waste, containers have to have properly fitting lids and be no larger than five gallons each, material must not be combined within a container, and the load has to be packed so nothing can tip, spill or break in transit. Household chemicals, paint, batteries, bulbs, propane tanks and sharps are refused in the trash and in the carts.
The city publishes two lists of material the landfill will not bury. Recyclable material has to be sorted and taken to the Recycling Park, and it covers electronics, glass, construction and demolition debris including drywall, cement and asphalt, metals, organic waste, paper and cardboard, plastics, and the other group of whole tires, white goods and appliances, and mattresses. Hazardous material goes only to the household hazardous waste facility, and it covers automotive fluids, batteries, chemicals and cleaning products, compressed cylinders such as propane, helium and fire extinguisher tanks, fluorescent lights and mercury items, garden chemicals, paints, pool and hobby supplies, sharps and printer cartridges.
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.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Santa Maria.
How much does appliance removal cost in Santa Maria?+
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 Santa Maria?+
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.
