A large appliance needs a 25 dollar white goods sticker, one per item, bought online, at the DPW offices or at City Hall. Small appliances such as toasters, irons, microwave ovens and coffee makers may go in the regular trash, and the city asks residents to consider taking them to the electronics drop-off instead.
City cost & eligibility
$25 per large appliance, with one white goods sticker required on each item. The city states that large appliances require a 25 dollar white goods sticker, one sticker per item, purchased online, at the DPW offices on One Franey Road where cheque or money order is accepted, or at City Hall where cash, cheque, credit card and money order are accepted. Small appliances may go in the regular trash or to the DPW electronics drop-off. Confirm the current rule with 311 on 617-666-3311.
When & how
Buy the sticker first, then place the appliance curbside without blocking pedestrians on the collection day, and note that the household hazardous waste events refuse white goods so the sticker is the published route.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and secure the doors before it goes out, keep it clear of the sidewalk, and use the electronics drop-off or the regular trash for a small appliance rather than a large item sticker.
Two of the largest item types are priced through a sticker rather than through the trash rules. From February 1, 2026, a mattress or box spring needs a 55 dollar disposal sticker on each piece, and the state requires that discarded mattresses and box springs be recycled. Only households in buildings of six units or fewer that receive city trash collection are eligible, a household may set out two bulk items a week, a sticker ordered online can take ten days to arrive, and the pickup must be booked with 311 by 3:30 p.m. the day before and happens one day after the regular trash day. Large appliances need a 25 dollar white goods sticker, one per item, bought online, at the DPW offices with a cheque or money order, or at City Hall where cash is also accepted. A recyclable mattress put out with the trash without a scheduled pickup may be left on the curb and fined.
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 Somerville.
How much does appliance removal cost in Somerville?+
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 Somerville?+
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.
Do I need a sticker for a large appliance?+
Yes. The city states that large appliances require a 25 dollar white goods sticker, one sticker per item, and that it can be bought online, at the DPW offices on One Franey Road with a cheque or money order, or at City Hall with cash, cheque, credit card or money order. When the appliance is placed curbside it must not block pedestrian traffic, and the household hazardous waste events do not accept white goods.Official guidance
