A single family household or a multi family dwelling with individual carts may request up to two free large item collections for a total of six items picked up per calendar year.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Two collections a calendar year with up to six large items in total are free for a single family dwelling and for a multi family dwelling with individual cart service. A refrigerator or freezer may incur a freon service fee, which the city does not publish, so ask Athens for the amount when the pickup is scheduled.
When & how
Submit the online request or call Athens Services at 805-852-5264. The city asks residents not to put bulky items, construction debris, electronic waste or automotive parts in the carts, because doing so can interrupt service.
Get it ready
Keep the items on the property until a collection is scheduled, then set them out as the hauler directs. Reuse and donation come first for anything usable, and an item that needs a forklift or crane is outside the definition the city and hauler publish. Unincorporated addresses are told to contact the County of Ventura instead.
Stoves, water heaters, washers, dryers, refrigerators and freezers are named large items, a refrigerator or freezer may carry a freon service fee, and a small broken appliance can go to Goodwill.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. A large appliance goes out inside the two free collections and six item yearly allowance, and the city notes that a refrigerator or freezer may incur a freon service fee without publishing an amount, so ask Athens for the figure at 805-852-5264 before the collection.
When & how
Schedule the collection at 805-852-5264 or online, and keep the appliance on the property until the collection date.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and remove food and loose parts before it goes out. A small appliance such as a toaster oven, blender or vacuum can be dropped at any Goodwill, which is a certified electronic waste recycler and takes appliances or anything with a cord, working or not, but it refuses large appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines.
Furniture, mattresses, appliances and other large items are collected by request on one of the two free collections a calendar year, and the city asks residents not to put bulky items, electronics, construction debris or automotive parts in the carts. Request the collection from Athens first, then set the items 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.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Thousand Oaks.
How much does appliance removal cost in Thousand Oaks?+
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 Thousand Oaks?+
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 large items can a household put out each year?+
Two free collections a calendar year covering six large items in total. The allowance is written for single family dwellings and for multi family dwellings with individual cart service, and the city does not take more than those six items without another arrangement.Official guidance
How do I schedule a bulky item pickup?+
Submit the online request form or call Athens Services at 805-852-5264. The city asks residents not to set bulky items in the trash cart or at the curb without a request, and it asks unincorporated addresses to contact the County of Ventura rather than the city program.Official guidance
What cannot go on a bulky item pickup?+
Automobile parts; construction debris such as dirt, concrete, tile, drywall and rock; hazardous waste such as antifreeze, automotive fluids, cleaning products, compressed gas cylinders, pesticides, paint, pharmaceuticals, pool chemicals and solvents; and loose or scattered building materials and lumber. Each of those has a separate route in Thousand Oaks.Official guidance
Is there a fee for a refrigerator on a bulky pickup?+
It can be. The city states that refrigerators and freezers may incur a freon service fee but does not publish an amount, so ask Athens Services for the current figure at 805-852-5264 when the collection is scheduled. The collection itself is inside the two free collections a year.Official guidance
Where can I take a small broken appliance?+
Any Goodwill store in Thousand Oaks takes small appliances such as a toaster oven, blender or vacuum, working or not, because Goodwill is a certified electronic waste recycler that accepts appliances or anything with a cord. It does not take large appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines.Official guidance
Who handles trash and recycling collection in Thousand Oaks?+
Athens Services collects residential and commercial trash, recycling and organics under a franchise agreement with the city, and the rates are set by City Council. Athens customer care is at 805-852-5264, Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 7 a.m. to noon, and the city Sustainability Division is at 805-449-7283 or gogreen@toaks.org.Official guidance
Does a holiday change my collection day?+
Yes. Holidays create a one day delay in collection. Athens observes New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas Day, and a holiday that falls on a Saturday or Sunday does not delay service.Official guidance
What happens at the household hazardous waste facility?+
The city facility at 2010 Conejo Center Drive in Newbury Park takes paint, solvents, pesticides, pool chemicals, batteries, used oil, antifreeze, propane cylinders, fluorescent bulbs and electronics from residents of Thousand Oaks and unincorporated Ventura County on Fridays and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. An appointment is required, online registration closes at 5 p.m. the day before, a load is limited to 15 gallons or 125 pounds, and Clean Harbors schedules appointments at 800-356-8570.Official guidance
What is free landfill day and who can use it?+
The city opens the Calabasas Landfill at 5300 Lost Hills Road in Agoura Hills from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on published dates, which are March 28, June 20 and September 26 in 2026, for Thousand Oaks residents who are current Athens customers. A resident with identification may bring up to two loads of trash, green waste, concrete, dirt, asphalt, bulky items or construction material in a car or pickup, and up to five loose passenger tires, with no late entry and no commercial or landscaping loads.Official guidance
Do apartments and complexes with shared bins get the same service?+
Multi family dwellings with individual carts are covered by the single family rate sheet and by the same two collections and six item large item allowance, but a complex with centralized bin service is billed under a separate multi family and mixed use rate schedule. Call Athens at 805-852-5264 to confirm what a shared bin property receives before setting anything out.Official guidance
