Household appliances are named on both the city's bulky item list and the hauler's accepted list, so a refrigerator, stove, washer or dryer leaves inside the ten free items a month. Anything past the tenth item in the same month is charged, and a business pickup carries a cost from the start.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Household appliances count inside the ten free bulky items a month for residential customers and multi-family tenants, with a fee for each item after the tenth in that month. Business pickups are charged.
When & how
Call (562) 334-3660 to schedule the pickup, give the hauler the appliance list, and set the unit out on the collection date.
Get it ready
Empty and defrost the unit, keep the doors secured so the piece can be lifted by two people, and keep the appliance clear of the sidewalk path. Refrigerant units are handled by the hauler as an appliance, so mention the type of unit when the pickup is booked.
Bulky material is only collected on a scheduled pickup, so the request goes to Universal Waste Systems by phone, email or the website with a list of the items. Once the collection date is confirmed, the items go on the sidewalk or parkway of the property rather than into the street, and the crew counts each piece against the monthly allowance.
A residential customer and a multi-family tenant each get up to ten free bulky items every month, and the count starts again the next month rather than running for the calendar year. The city's own example is a household that sets out twelve items in June and is charged for the eleventh and twelfth, then receives up to ten free items again in July.
The quarterly household hazardous waste pickup requires the material to be boxed and left on the porch rather than at the curb, and the hauler also supplies four mail-in sharps containers per account each year. Other households use the Los Angeles County collection events, where the material travels in cardboard boxes in the trunk and the resident stays in the vehicle while staff unload, inside a limit of 15 gallons or 125 pounds per trip.
Finish unloading before the transfer station cutoffs
The South Gate Transfer Station takes only non-hazardous municipal solid and inert waste, weighs every load and takes payment in cash, by credit or debit card or on a pre-arranged account, with no checks. Hand-unloaded vehicles are not admitted after 4:30 p.m., self-dumping vehicles after 4:45 p.m., and all unloading has to finish by 4:50 p.m.
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.

A household with paint, cleaners, batteries, garden chemicals or sharps that cannot go in a cart or on a bulky pile.
Cost & conditions

Arrange it

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in South Gate.
How much does appliance removal cost in South Gate?+
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 South Gate?+
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 many free appliance pickups does South Gate allow?+
Up to ten free bulky items every month, and a household appliance counts as one of them. The city's example is that twelve items placed out during June mean the eleventh and twelfth are charged, and the allowance resets to ten free items the following month. Business pickups are charged from the first item, quoted through the same customer service line at (562) 334-3660.Official guidance
How does the South Gate bulky item program work?+
Universal Waste Systems collects up to ten free bulky items every month for a residential customer, and ten items per month for each multi-family unit, once the pickup is scheduled at (562) 334-3660. The list covers chairs, sofas, appliances, bed frames, mattresses, lawn furniture, rugs, bundled wood up to four feet and electronic waste, items go on the sidewalk or parkway on the collection date, and a fee applies to each item after the tenth in the same month.Official guidance
Where do South Gate residents take paint, batteries and other chemicals?+
Residential and multi-family customers get one household hazardous waste pickup every quarter, with the items boxed and left on the porch and the visit arranged through (562) 334-3660, plus four mail-in sharps containers per account each year. For anything else, Los Angeles County runs free collection events and permanent centers where county residents can drop off household chemicals and electronic waste inside a trip limit of 15 gallons or 125 pounds, and white goods such as refrigerators and stoves are not accepted there.Official guidance
Can I take my own load to the South Gate Transfer Station?+
Yes. The transfer station at 9530 Garfield Avenue in South Gate accepts non-hazardous municipal solid and inert waste Monday through Saturday from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m., closed Sunday and major holidays, weighs every load and charges by the ton with a higher rate for hard to handle and bulky items. Payment is cash, credit card, debit card or pre-arranged credit and never a cheque, and unloading stops at 4:30 p.m. for hand-loaded vehicles and 4:50 p.m. for everyone.Official guidance
