Metal appliances are one of the two categories the City recycles instead of landfilling, so a refrigerator, freezer, washer, dryer or stove goes out on the large item pickup, while a water heater is refused as a plumbing fixture.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. A metal appliance goes out on the one free large item collection a calendar year, inside the twenty item limit, and it is recycled rather than landfilled. A water heater is the published exception, because plumbing fixtures are on the prohibited list.
When & how
Add the appliance to the large item pickup booked at 855-354-5623, and set it out on the scheduled refuse collection day inside the twelve hour window.
Get it ready
Empty the unit, keep it upright and clear of the carts, and keep a water heater out of the load entirely, because plumbing fixtures are refused. Batteries cannot go in any cart in California, so route any battery to a drop-off separately.
The large item pickup is booked, not set out on demand
One free large item collection is available a calendar year per address, up to twenty items, and it has to be booked with the sanitation line at 855-354-5623. Materials cannot go out earlier than 12 hours before the scheduled pickup, small items must be tied or bagged, the pile goes where recycling is collected and at least five feet from the carts, and a cancellation has to be made at least a day ahead.
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 furniture, a mattress, a metal appliance or another large item that will not fit in a cart, up to twenty items.
Cost & conditions
No charge. One free collection a calendar year per address for residents with City trash collection, with up to twenty items in the pickup.
Arrange it
Call 855-354-5623 Monday through Friday between 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., and set the items out on the scheduled refuse collection day.
Twenty items per pickup and one free pickup a year, not available during the Christmas tree recycling programme. Construction debris, auto parts, household hazardous waste, electronic waste and anything two people cannot safely handle are refused.
A household that has used the free pickup for the year and still has a load to clear.
Cost & conditions
$40 for the published rate for an additional large item pickup of ten items, with a twenty item additional pickup priced higher on the same rate table. Torrance addresses with City trash collection that have already used the free pickup for the calendar year. The City publishes the same two additional collection prices for each year of its five year schedule.
Arrange it
Book the additional collection on the same sanitation line at 855-354-5623 and tell the office the item count so the right rate applies.
Priced by item count, and the same prohibited item list applies, so construction material, hazardous waste, auto parts and electronic waste still cannot be added to the load.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Torrance.
How much does appliance removal cost in Torrance?+
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 Torrance?+
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.
Will Torrance take a refrigerator or washer?+
Yes. The City says large item collections are landfilled except for electronics and metal appliances, which means a metal appliance such as a refrigerator, freezer, washer, dryer or stove is collected and recycled through the free annual pickup. Add it to the pickup when you call 855-354-5623.Official guidance
What about a water heater?+
A water heater is refused on the large item pickup, because the City lists plumbing fixtures such as water heaters with the prohibited construction debris. The City points to a metal recycler instead, and battery and metal scrap are also taken there.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Torrance?+
The City's own Public Works Sanitation Division, which runs weekly trash, recycling and organics collection for about 29,500 single family homes, duplexes and select three and four unit properties. Customer service is 855-354-5623 Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and commercial and multi-family property service runs through private haulers instead.Official guidance
What does weekly collection cost a household?+
The monthly rate depends only on the size of the trash container, and the City publishes a five year schedule of increases through July 1, 2027. Recycling and organics containers carry no monthly charge, up to two extra recycling or organics carts are free apart from the delivery fee, and an additional refuse container carries its own published monthly rate.Official guidance
Is there a discount for a senior or disabled resident?+
Yes. The low income senior and disabled rate requires a 64-gallon refuse cart, a resident who is 62 or older or permanently disabled, and a household income inside the programme limits. Applications go through the Finance Department utility billing line at 310-618-5830.Official guidance
Can I take my own load to a transfer station?+
The City publishes a reference list of local transfer stations open to the public, in Gardena, Long Beach, Compton, Wilmington, Downey, Signal Hill and Carson. The City marks the list as reference only and subject to change, asks residents to call ahead about prices, hours and accepted materials, and notes that Torrance residents can receive discounted City rates with proof of residency.Official guidance
