The city's recycling flyer puts small appliances on the list of things the blue recycling cart refuses and sends them to the blue pay-as-you-throw bag instead. A larger white good is a different question, because Malden names white goods as an exception to normal curbside pickup rather than as part of the weekly trash route.
City cost & eligibility
No city price is published for a white good. Confirm the unit and any charge with the Department of Public Works at 781-397-7160 before it goes to the curb.
When & how
Small appliances leave with the normal trash inside a blue pay-as-you-throw bag or a tagged city barrel. A white good needs the Waste Wizard lookup and a call to the Department of Public Works, which answers Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Get it ready
Empty the unit before it leaves the house, keep a refrigerator, freezer, washer or dryer out of the weekly barrel set out until the city confirms the route, and keep anything with refrigerant away from the curbside route until the department has answered.
Trash goes out in a covered barrel with a valid bag or trash tag
Trash has to sit in a lidded barrel with the lid completely closed and be at the curb by 7 a.m. on the pickup day. Each bag is either a blue pay-as-you-throw bag from the city or, in a city black barrel carrying the current year trash tag, a standard store-bought bag of 13 gallon or larger with no loose trash, a lid that closes and no more than 35 pounds in the barrel. The city is running a tagging and education period on barrels that do not meet the rules, and fines can follow once that period ends.
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 a bulk item, a white good, a piece of furniture or an exercise machine that is too large for the weekly barrel.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes no price for these items. The Waste Wizard gives the route, and the Department of Public Works confirms any charge at 781-397-7160.
Arrange it
Search the item in the Waste Wizard, then call the Department of Public Works during its Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. hours to arrange the collection day.
The normal weekly route takes only bagged trash inside a lidded barrel, so an item that is not confirmed with the city is left at the curb.
Take electronics to the DPW Yard on a collection day
A household with a television, a computer monitor or other electronic waste that the recycling cart refuses.
Cost & conditions

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Malden.
How much does appliance removal cost in Malden?+
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 Malden?+
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 do white goods and small appliances go in Malden?+
Small appliances cannot go in the blue recycling cart, and the city's flyer says to put them in a blue pay-as-you-throw bag with the trash. White goods are named as an exception to normal curbside pickup, so confirm the unit and any charge with the Department of Public Works at 781-397-7160 before it is set out.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Malden?+
The City of Malden Department of Public Works runs weekly trash and recycling collection for residential buildings of six units or less, and buildings with more than six units and commercial properties have to arrange private pickup. Qualifying homes get one free trash barrel and one free recycling barrel, and the department answers at 781-397-7160 at 356 Commercial Street.Official guidance
What do I need to set trash out in Malden?+
A lidded barrel with the lid fully closed, at the curb by 7 a.m. on the collection day, with every bag either a blue pay-as-you-throw bag or a standard bag inside a city black barrel carrying the current year trash tag. The tag is good on the 35 gallon city cart only, asks for bags of 13 gallon or larger, and caps the load at 35 pounds, and the city is running a tagging and education period on barrels that do not comply.Official guidance
Can I still drop items at the Malden DPW Yard?+
Partly. The city alert says the yard is closed to dumping Monday through Friday during the Malden River Works construction period and that yard waste only may be dropped on Saturdays, and the yard waste page publishes a Saturday window as well. Household hazardous waste and electronics are taken only on the designated collection days the city schedules, and the page showed no upcoming day when this was checked, so call 781-397-7160 before making the trip.Official guidance
