Appliances, white goods and metal items are recycled through the hauler at a published per item charge and picked up only on Tuesdays.
City cost & eligibility
$26.91 for the published per item charge to recycle a white good, appliance, metal item, lawn mower, snow blower or piece of exercise equipment, paid to the hauler when the pickup is scheduled. Eligible Medford residents who schedule and pay through Waste Management on 800-972-4545. These items are picked up only on Tuesdays.
When & how
By appointment through the hauler, and only on Tuesdays, rather than on the regular collection day.
Get it ready
Empty the unit before it goes out and keep it off the sidewalk until the late afternoon or evening of the day before the Tuesday pickup. Appliances are not part of the ordinary bulky furniture pickup, and the City charges them through the hauler's metals route instead.
Bulky items and metals are two different hauler routes
A sofa, a desk or an area rug goes through the bulky item collection at the published per item charge, while a white good, appliance, metal item, lawn mower, snow blower or piece of exercise equipment goes through the metals route at its own per item rate, and a television or monitor at a higher rate again. Both are scheduled and paid through the hauler, and the metals and electronics pickups happen only on Tuesdays.
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 Medford.
How much does appliance removal cost in Medford?+
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 Medford?+
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 is an appliance recycled?+
Through the hauler at the published per item rate for white goods, appliances and metal items, scheduled and paid for on 800-972-4545, and picked up only on Tuesdays. The same rate covers lawn mowers, snow blowers and exercise equipment.Official guidance
Who collects the waste in Medford?+
Waste Management, under the city contract, with the City setting the rules. Curbside trash and single stream recycling come on the same day, bulky items and the metals and electronics routes are scheduled and paid through the hauler, and the department of public works on 781-393-2417 handles City questions and the City Hall drop off.Official guidance
How do I find my collection day and bin schedule?+
Follow the City calendar and the blue or green bin schedule for the address, which sets the weeks for recycling and the collection day. Recyclables go out on the same day as trash, both by 7:00 a.m., and nothing is placed at the sidewalk before the late afternoon or evening of the day before pickup.Official guidance
Where do batteries go?+
Nickel cadmium rechargeable batteries and cell phones can be recycled at City Hall Room 304 through the department of public works, and button cell batteries and mercury bearing devices go to the same office. Batteries are excluded from the curbside recycling bin.Official guidance
Can clothing and textiles be recycled?+
Yes, through a City partnership that collects unwanted clothing and textiles, with a three bag minimum for a pickup to keep routes efficient. Bagged textiles can also be dropped at collection bins at Medford public schools, including Curtis Tufts, McGlynn and Missituk, and those donations generate funding for each school's parent teacher organization.Official guidance
What is the cheapest way to clear a large item?+
Donation first, since the City lists Vietnam Veterans of America and the Salvation Army for usable items and asks residents to consider donating before scheduling a pickup. After that the cost depends on the item: the bulky furniture rate is the lowest published charge, white goods, metal items and exercise equipment are higher, and a television or monitor is higher again.Official guidance
