South Bend is unusual in taking appliances on the same monthly allowance as furniture. The city states that an appliance includes a refrigerator, freezer, washer and dryer, and that the homeowner can request one free appliance or bulky item pickup a month, scheduled on the next available trash day. The preparation rule is specific: every appliance lid and door has to be removed or taped shut.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Homeowners inside the city limits get one free appliance or bulky item pickup per month, scheduled on the next available trash day, with additional items or cubic yards in the same month charged at $20 per cubic yard and any total above $100 needing resident approval.
When & how
Request the pickup through the city online form or by calling 311 on a weekday between 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., then set the appliance out for the assigned date, which is the next available trash day.
Get it ready
Remove or tape shut every lid and door so nobody and nothing can get inside the appliance, which is the city's own safety rule. Keep the unit out of the trash and yard waste bins, place it within two feet of the curb by 6 a.m. on the assigned date and no earlier than 24 hours before, and keep three feet of clearance from trees, fences and utility poles.
One free bulky or appliance pickup and one free yard waste extra pickup a month
Homeowners inside the city limits get one appliance or bulky item pickup and one yard waste extra pickup every month at no charge, and both are booked for the next available trash day. Only the primary account holder can schedule, and the city asks for the last four digits of a social security number. Further pickups in the same month are charged by the cubic yard, and any total over a stated threshold needs the resident's approval before removal.
Wait for the assigned date before putting anything at the curb
An extra pickup is scheduled rather than automatic, and the city warns that placing an item at the curb before the assigned date can bring a citation from Code Enforcement. Items should not sit out more than 24 hours before the pickup, they go within two feet of the curb by 6 a.m. on the day, and they need three feet of clearance from trees, fences and utility poles. Summer demand can push a date out two or three weeks, so request before a deadline.
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.
Book the free monthly bulky item or appliance pickup
A homeowner inside the city limits with a couch, a mattress, an appliance, an exercise machine or another item too big for the regular bin.
Cost & conditions
No charge. One appliance or bulky item pickup a month is free for homeowners inside the city limits and lands on the next available trash day. Each additional item or cubic yard in the same month is charged at $20 per cubic yard, and any total over $100 needs the resident's approval before removal.
Arrange it
Call 311 on a weekday between 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. or submit the city online request, and the pickup date comes back in the confirmation. Only the primary account holder can schedule, and the city asks for the last four digits of a social security number.
Electronics, hazardous material, loose debris and anything with human or animal bodily fluids are not accepted on the pickup, and appliance doors and lids have to be removed or taped shut. Items go out only after the assigned date, no more than 24 hours before the pickup and no earlier, because early placement can bring a citation.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in South Bend.
How much does appliance removal cost in South Bend?+
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 South Bend?+
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 do I schedule an appliance pickup in South Bend?+
Call 311 on a weekday between 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. or submit the city online request, and the pickup is scheduled on the next available trash day. Homeowners inside the city limits get one free appliance or bulky item pickup a month, and the city counts a refrigerator, freezer, washer and dryer as appliances. Every lid and door has to be removed or taped shut before the unit goes out.Official guidance
Who collects trash in South Bend?+
The city Solid Waste division does the work itself, not a franchise hauler. It runs weekly trash collection for every city address from Monday through Thursday, with trash, yard waste and extra pickups all on the same day for a household, and service is delayed by one day when a city holiday falls on the collection day. Residents sign up when they start water service, and 311 handles scheduling and questions.Official guidance
What is the free monthly extra pickup?+
Homeowners inside the city limits can request one appliance or bulky item pickup and one yard waste pickup each month at no charge, and both are scheduled on the next available trash day. The bulky item allowance covers anything too big to fit the regular bin, with furniture as the city's example, and the yard waste allowance covers up to 10 30-gallon biodegradable bags or a cubic yard of bundled and tied limbs. A second pickup in the same month is charged by the cubic yard.Official guidance
