The City's hauler collects major appliances for recycling by appointment, within a published weekly allowance of two units.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Waltham households on the city collection route, which may schedule the contracted hauler to collect up to two white goods a week, covering washers, dryers, metal cabinets, stoves, refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners. The City publishes no separate charge for the appointment.
When & how
By appointment with the contracted hauler on a scheduled day, with the appointment made before 3:30 p.m. the day before the collection.
Get it ready
Remove every door from a refrigerator or freezer and leave the unit upright at the curb by 7 a.m. on the appointment day, and expect the driver to lift the item from the curb rather than from inside the property. The City also suggests asking the retailer to take the old appliance away when a new one is delivered.
Mattresses, textiles, construction and demolition material, televisions and computer monitors, appliances and household chemicals are all refused in the barrels and the recycling cart. Each of those items has its own route, and an item over 100 pounds needs a call before it goes out at all.
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 Waltham Recycling Department with Capitol Waste Services and the regional household hazardous waste events
Appointment collections with the contracted hauler
A Waltham household with a television, a computer monitor or a major appliance that cannot go in the barrels.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Waltham households on the city collection route, which may schedule televisions and monitors as hazardous screens and up to two white goods a week, without a separately published per item charge.
Arrange it
Call the contracted hauler to book the appointment, schedule a screen at least 24 hours ahead and an appliance before 3:30 p.m. the day before, then place the item at the curb by 7 a.m. on the appointment day.
The driver does not move an item from the house to the curb, and a ride on mower is refused by the contractor entirely, so a heavy machine has to be handled by a private hauler.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Waltham.
How much does appliance removal cost in Waltham?+
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 Waltham?+
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?+
Call the contracted hauler to book the collection, and make the call before 3:30 p.m. on the day before the appointment. Leave the unit upright at the curb by 7 a.m. with all refrigerator and freezer doors removed, because the driver does not move items from the house to the curb.Official guidance
Who collects the trash in Waltham?+
The City runs the residential collection and a contracted hauler does the work, while the Recycling Department handles carts, disposal questions and the special appointments. The route serves buildings with six or fewer units, and a larger building arranges its own service.Official guidance
How do I find my collection day?+
The City publishes a pickup map that returns the trash and recycling day for an address, and the same map reports the A week or B week assignment used for yard waste. Trash and recycling are collected weekly on that day, and a holiday week pushes the rest of the week one day later.Official guidance
Who do I call about a missed pickup?+
Report a missed trash, recycling or yard waste collection on the city line during weekday hours, and the department can follow up with the hauler on the route. If the material went out after 7 a.m., do not call, because the City asks residents to hold it for the following week instead.Official guidance
How do I get another recycling cart?+
Call the Recycling Department, which supplies the household cart and takes requests for an extra one. A broken cart is repaired or replaced through the same call, and only the wheeled carts the City distributed are collected at the curb.Official guidance
What if my building has more than six units?+
The city collection route and the contracted mattress appointment both apply to buildings with six or fewer units, so a larger apartment building or condo complex arranges trash, recycling and bedding collection through building management, the condo association or a private company. The City also publishes a directory of donation and reuse options for residents in that situation.Official guidance
Does Waltham hold a recycling event?+
The City holds an annual Zero Waste Day at Nipper Maher Park where clothing, car tires, electronics, books and metal are recycled at no charge along with paper shredding. The date published in the current guide has already passed, so confirm the next date with the Recycling Department.Official guidance
