Appliances without refrigerant

Accepted with preparation

Dishwashers, dryers, stoves, washing machines and water heaters are on the Santa Rosa bulky item list and ride the two free pickups a year at no charge.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the two free bulky item pickups a year for residential customers, inside the three cubic yard limit. Only a unit containing refrigerant carries a Freon charge.
When & how
Call Recology at (800) 243-0291 to add the appliance to a bulky pickup, then set it out on the confirmed day.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and keep it out of the three carts. Disconnect or secure the doors, and keep appliances clear of the four feet by four feet by two feet item rule, which does not apply to them.

Refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners

Special rules apply

A unit containing refrigerant is accepted on the bulky pickup or at a county refuse disposal site, but it carries a charge either way because of the Freon.

City cost & eligibility
$73.26 for the published Freon charge for any bulky item containing refrigerant, which the hauler applies even to a free bulky item pickup. A refrigerator, freezer, air conditioner, dehumidifier or water cooler set out on a Santa Rosa residential bulky pickup. Confirm the current amount and any refrigerant handling when the pickup is booked.
When & how
Call Recology at (800) 243-0291 to add the unit to a bulky pickup, or take it to a county refuse disposal site where appliances are weighed and priced per unit.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and keep it upright, and keep it out of the three carts because cooling appliances cannot go in any of them. Ask whether the refrigerant has to be handled before the unit is moved, and expect the county site to price it as an appliance rather than as refuse.

Additional or oversized bulky collection

A household that has used its two free pickups or has more than three cubic yards to clear at once.

Cost & conditions
$144.4 for the published rate for an additional large item collection beyond the two included pickups a year, with material beyond three cubic yards in one collection priced separately per cubic yard. Santa Rosa residential accounts that have exhausted the two free bulky pickups for the year, or that set out more than three cubic yards in a single collection.
Arrange it
Call Recology at (800) 243-0291 to book the extra or oversized collection and confirm both the per collection charge and the per cubic yard charge before the items go out.

The published rate is per collection, and the excess volume is charged per cubic yard on top of it, so the total depends on how much material goes out. The same accepted and refused item lists apply.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Santa Rosa keeps most large material on the curb, because a household gets two free bulky pickups a year of up to three cubic yards each through Recology Sonoma Marin. What a resident actually hauls goes to the county network, which Republic Services operates: the Central Disposal Site at 500 Mecham Rd in Petaluma and transfer stations at Annapolis, Guerneville, Healdsburg and Sonoma, where every vehicle is weighed and loads are limited to waste generated in Sonoma County, with refuse and mixed construction debris charged per ton and appliances priced per unit, a separate and higher rate applying to units that contain Freon. Household hazardous waste is free at the county facility on the same Petaluma site, which opened for Sonoma County residents with identification, needs no appointment, and takes paint, solvents, cleaners, oil, antifreeze, batteries and bulbs within a 15 gallon or 125 pound per vehicle limit. Electronic waste does not go to that facility; televisions, monitors and computers go to a county refuse disposal site e-waste area, a free county e-waste event, or a bulky pickup for a large television. A project load moves through a hauler bin or a weighed load at a county site, and an uncovered or unsecured load is charged per vehicle.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Santa Rosa.

How much does appliance removal cost in Santa Rosa?

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 Rosa?

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.

Do washers and dryers go on a free bulky pickup?

Yes. Dishwasher, dryer, stove, washing machine and water heater are all on the published Santa Rosa bulky item list and ride the two free pickups a year, inside the three cubic yard limit per pickup.Official guidance

What about a refrigerator or freezer?

A refrigerator and a freezer are both on the bulky item list, but they hold refrigerant, and the published rule is that a Freon charge applies to any item containing Freon even on a free bulky pickup. The same charge applies to an air conditioner, so confirm the amount with Recology when the pickup is booked.Official guidance

Is there a charge for a refrigerator or freezer?

Yes. The published rule is that a Freon charge applies to any bulky item containing Freon, and it applies even on one of the two free bulky pickups. The hauler publishes the amount on its Santa Rosa bulky item page, so confirm it when the pickup is booked.Official guidance

Can I take a refrigerator to a county disposal site instead?

Yes. The county refuse disposal sites price appliances per unit rather than by weight, with one fee for units that contain Freon such as air conditioners, dehumidifiers, freezers, refrigerators and water coolers, and a lower fee for units that do not, such as dryers, furnaces, ovens, stoves, washers and water heaters.Official guidance

Who collects trash in Santa Rosa?

Recology Sonoma Marin collects garbage, recycling and compost weekly for Santa Rosa households. Customer service is (800) 243-0291, the local office is at 3400 Standish Ave and is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and Zero Waste Sonoma runs the county bulky, hazardous waste and disposal site programs that city residents also use.Official guidance

Where do paint, oil and batteries go?

To the county household hazardous waste facility at the Central Disposal Site, 500 Mecham Rd in Petaluma. It is free for Sonoma County residents who bring identification, needs no appointment, and opens Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., with a limit of 15 gallons of liquid or 125 pounds of solid material per vehicle. Electronics are not accepted there, so televisions and computers take the e-waste route instead.Official guidance

What does weekly service cost a household?

The monthly rate depends on the size of the garbage cart, and each cart size has its own published rate on the schedule effective January 1, 2026, with recycling and compost collection free of charge. Households enrolled in the Pacific Gas and Electric CARE program may qualify for a fifteen per cent discount through the Recology Cares program, which requires a copy of the current PG&E bill.Official guidance

What happens to a holiday tree?

Trees are collected at the curb on the service day between December 30 and January 10. After that, a tree can be cut to fit inside the green cart with the stakes removed and set out on the regular service day, and there is also a drop-off at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds, 1350 Bennett Valley Rd, between December 26 and January 17.Official guidance
