You’re in the loop. Until it’s gone.

Washers, dryers and other large appliances are part of the weekly program, but the City asks for a call ahead so the pickup is recorded before the appliance goes to the curb.
City cost & eligibility
The City publishes no separate appliance fee, so an appliance rides with the same weekly solid waste service the monthly utility bill covers. Because the City asks for the call ahead, confirm the item, the service day and any charge for the trip with the operations line before the appliance goes out.
When & how
Call the operations line at (727) 562-4920 before the regular collection day, then have the appliance at the curb by 7 a.m. on the service day and no more than 24 hours early.
Get it ready
Empty and clean the unit, secure or remove the door, and ask when you call whether a refrigerator, freezer or other cooling unit has to be degassed or tagged for refrigerant recovery first, because the City does not publish that step. The City asks for the call ahead specifically so an appliance or a piece of electronic equipment is not missed on the route.
The City asks residents to call ahead when an appliance or electronic equipment needs to be picked up, so the crew knows the item is coming and it is not missed on the scheduled route. The operations line is (727) 562-4920, and it also handles a missed pickup or a question about whether a particular item belongs in the bulk pile.
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.
City of Clearwater Solid Waste and Recycling Department
Special pickup for a large appliance or electronic item
A Clearwater household whose appliance or electronic item is too large for the black barrel and will not ride with the ordinary weekly route.
Cost & conditions
The City publishes no rate for the special pickup it sends for an oversized item, so confirm the trip and any charge with the operations line before the item goes out.
Arrange it
Call the Solid Waste Operations Line at (727) 562-4920 ahead of the collection day so the pickup is recorded, then have the item at the curb by 7 a.m.
The City asks for the call ahead for appliances and electronic equipment specifically. A device whose rechargeable battery cannot be removed still has to go to a county drop-off rather than into the trash or the special pickup.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Clearwater.
How much does appliance removal cost in Clearwater?+
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 Clearwater?+
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.
Why call ahead for an appliance pickup?+
The City asks residents to call before setting an appliance or electronic equipment at the curb so the crew knows the item is coming and it does not get skipped on the scheduled route. The operations line for that call is (727) 562-4920.Official guidance
How does a refrigerator or freezer go out?+
Through the same called-in appliance pickup as any other large unit, at the curb by 7 a.m. on the collection day. The City does not publish a refrigerant step, so ask when you call whether the unit has to be degassed or tagged before it goes out, and empty and clean it first.Official guidance
Who handles trash collection in the city?+
The City of Clearwater Solid Waste and Recycling Department, which runs residential garbage collection once a week for single family homes along with commercial collection, private hauler permits and recovered material dealer permits. The department office is at 1701 N. Hercules Ave., the operations and services line is (727) 562-4920 and new service and billing is (727) 562-4600.Official guidance
How do I find my collection day?+
Use the City collection schedule finder linked from the residential trash page, which also carries the holiday schedule. Trash, recycling, yard waste and bulk items are all collected on that same service date, and a missed pickup is reported to the operations line.Official guidance
What is the yearly bulky limit for a Clearwater home?+
Each single family home is allowed up to 40 cubic yards of bulk collection per calendar year, and multi-family units carry the same allowance. About four to five furniture sized pieces is treated as an appropriate curbside load, and the City says larger amounts may be subject to additional time charges it does not publish.Official guidance
Can residents pick up free mulch?+
Yes. Weed free mulch is available at no charge to Clearwater residents at the Solid Waste and Recycling Complex at 1701 N. Hercules Ave., and the department publishes the pickup details on its own page.Official guidance
How do holidays affect collection?+
The City publishes a separate holiday collection schedule for trash and recycling and asks residents to check it rather than assume the regular day. Collection days otherwise stay the same through the year, and the same weekly service date carries trash, recycling, yard waste and bulk items.Official guidance
