Appliances split by condition. A working refrigerator or air conditioner is a Reuse Day item that goes out on the pre-scheduled day for donation, while a non-working unit is an on-call pickup for an added fee.
City cost & eligibility
Reuse Day is at no additional cost for single family homes, and the non-working on-call pickup is available for an added fee that the guide does not price. Confirm the route for the specific unit with Republic Services at (925) 685-4711, and call Mt. Diablo Resource Recovery at 925-692-2286 with Reuse Day questions.
When & how
Set a working unit out on the Reuse Day mailed to the address, or book an on-call pickup for a non-working one with Republic Services at (925) 685-4711.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and keep it out of the carts. Keep it inside the Cleanup Day limits of four feet length, 24 inches diameter and 50 pounds if it is going out on the clean-up day instead, and confirm the refrigerant handling when booking an on-call pickup.
Reuse and Cleanup Days are mailed to each address about two weeks ahead and they run twice a year. On Reuse Day, Mt. Diablo Resource Recovery collects gently used household items and donates them, which is the route for working furniture, appliances and electronics. Cleanup Day follows the next day and Republic Services takes what does not meet the Reuse Day rules to landfill, with a volume cap of two cubic yards or fourteen 32-gallon bags, no item longer than four feet or wider than 24 inches, and nothing heavier than 50 pounds, with charges possible above those limits.
A household that cannot wait for the next scheduled week has three published on-call options. One landfill clean-up a year covers up to fourteen 32-gallon bags of trash or the equivalent, and recycling or organics clean-ups are available up to four times a year when there is more material than the carts hold. Separately, items such as mattresses, non-working televisions, non-working refrigerators and large furniture are collected on-call for an added fee. All of it is booked with Republic Services at (925) 685-4711, and no single bag or item may weigh more than 50 pounds or run longer than four feet.
Hazardous waste has its own free facility, and carts have strict contents
Household hazardous waste never goes in a cart or a clean-up pile. Residents can use the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District facility at 4797 Imhoff Place in Martinez free of charge, and the list includes cooking oil, fluorescent lamps, propane cylinders, car batteries, fertilizers, cleaners and personal care products. The carts are strict in the other direction too: recyclables go loose into the blue cart and are never bagged, the green cart takes food scraps and uncoated food-soiled paper with no plastic of any kind, and household batteries go in a ziplock bag on top of the blue cart.
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 Walnut Creek.
How much does appliance removal cost in Walnut Creek?+
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 Walnut Creek?+
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.
Where does a refrigerator or air conditioner go in Walnut Creek?+
A working refrigerator or air conditioner can be set out on Reuse Day, one of the pre-scheduled days that come twice a year at no additional cost, and questions about that day go to Mt. Diablo Resource Recovery at 925-692-2286. A non-working unit is collected on-call for an added fee booked with Republic Services at (925) 685-4711.Official guidance
