Athens states it will remove bulky items including major appliances upon request, but no Whittier source addresses refrigerant-bearing cooling appliances, so the specific unit is confirmed when the pickup is booked.
City cost & eligibility
The on call program covers four free pickups a year of up to three items, and Athens names major appliances as removable on request. Confirm the unit and any charge with Athens at (888) 336-6100, since no source describes how a refrigerator or freezer is handled.
When & how
Book through Athens Services at (888) 336-6100 or the online bulky item request form, and confirm the appliance when you book.
Get it ready
An appliance goes out only for a scheduled pickup. Do not place it in a cart, and confirm the unit first because the published material does not describe cooling appliances.
Carts out by 6 a.m., never before 6 p.m. the day before
All containers go out by 6:00 a.m. on the collection day and no sooner than 6:00 p.m. the day before, because the City's designated collection day is the 24-hour period from 6:00 p.m. the day before to 6:00 p.m. the day of collection under WMC 8.12.140. Containers are placed in the street with lids closed or in the alley, wheels against the curb, about a foot apart and at least three feet from parked vehicles.
Empty carts come off the street and out of public view
Remove every refuse and recycling container from the curb or alley once it is emptied. Except for the large 300-gallon alley containers, containers have to leave the public right-of-way and be stored on private property where they are not visible from the front or sides of the property.
A weekday holiday shifts collection one day for the rest of the week
Trash, recycling and green waste are collected as regularly scheduled except on New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Whenever one of those holidays falls on a weekday, the schedule is delayed one day for the remainder of that week.
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.
Free Los Angeles County hazardous waste events and centers
Households with paint, batteries, motor oil, fluorescent tubes or other material that is illegal in the garbage.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Household hazardous waste collection events run by Los Angeles County and the Sanitation Districts are free one-day drive-through events for residents, and the County's permanent collection centers are also free for County residents.
Arrange it
Check the County event calendar and the permanent collection center list for the next date and location, or use the Whittier collection events held at the Whittier Public Parking Lot on Bailey Street.
These events and centers take household hazardous waste and electronics, not bulky furniture or construction debris, and they run only on published dates or posted hours.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Whittier.
How much does appliance removal cost in Whittier?+
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 Whittier?+
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.
Does Athens take a refrigerator from a Whittier address?+
Athens says it removes bulky items including major appliances upon request, and the City's program gives four free pickups a year of up to three items. No source describes refrigeration handling, so confirm the refrigerator at (888) 336-6100 when you book.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Whittier?+
Athens Services is the City's sole solid waste hauler. Athens customer care is at (888) 336-6100, Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m., and residents can also submit a bulky item request online.Official guidance
