Appliances including refrigerators

Accepted with preparation

Appliances are part of the bulk item definition, and the flyer goes further by naming refrigerators and stoves among the large bulk items that must be reported for a special pickup. So a refrigerator has a published route in Trenton rather than being refused for its refrigerant.

City cost & eligibility
The city publishes the bulk special pickup and no fee for it, so confirm the unit and any charge with the Division of Solid Waste on 609-989-3175 between 7:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. on weekdays. The flyer publishes no appliance specific rate either.
When & how
Report the unit on 609-989-3175 on a weekday and keep it off the curb until the special pickup is arranged. A refrigerator counts against the five item limit for a single pickup alongside anything else going out at the same time.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and remove food, water and loose parts before it leaves the house, and tie or remove the doors so nothing can get inside while it waits. Keep the appliance out of the recycling buckets and away from the garbage cans, and keep any other large item back so the load stays within the five item limit.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Garbage goes out between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m.

On the regular round, garbage can be placed at the curb no earlier than 10 p.m. the night before collection and by 7 a.m. on the day of pickup. No can or bag at the curb may exceed 50 pounds, and containers are required for homeowners and renters rather than optional. A bulky item is different, because it waits until the special pickup has been arranged rather than going out on the ordinary round.

City of Trenton Division of Solid Waste Management, with Mercer County for recycling and hazardous waste

Book the city special pickup for bulk items

A Trenton household with furniture, a household appliance, a bagged mattress or another large item that the ordinary round will not take.

Cost & conditions
The city publishes the special pickup, the scheduling number and the five item limit but no rate for the service, so confirm the load and any charge with the Division of Solid Waste on 609-989-3175 between 7:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. on weekdays.
Arrange it
Call 609-989-3175 on a weekday to report the items and book the pickup, and keep the pile off the curb until the arrangement is made. Mattresses have to be bagged first, with up to two bags per household per year available at the solid waste office on 707 Calhoun Street between 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.

No more than five items are collected at one time, and every bag or can that goes out on the ordinary round is capped at 50 pounds. Trash cannot go in a recycling bucket, and material placed out on a legal holiday may bring a fine, so the pile has to be timed around the holiday calendar.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Self haul in Trenton runs on two calendars. The city side is the special bulk pickup, which a resident reports to the Division of Solid Waste Management on 609-989-3175 between 7:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. on weekdays, with no more than five items collected at one time and mattresses bagged first, using the mattress bags available at the solid waste office on 707 Calhoun Street between 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. The county side covers everything the city will not take. The 2026 Mercer County schedule places Trenton on the Wednesday recycling run with Robbinsville and publishes three hazardous waste and e-waste recycling Saturdays, in March, June and September, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Dempster Fire Training School on 350 Lawrence Station Road in Lawrence Township, plus two paper shredding mornings at 651 South Broad Street in lot 4. Recycling that would fall on Christmas, New Year's Day, Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, Labor Day or Thanksgiving moves to the following Saturday. Recycling questions and the hazardous waste schedule both run through the Mercer County Improvement Authority on 609-278-8086, and the city's own household hazardous waste page no longer resolves, so the county sheet is the route to check.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Trenton.

How much does appliance removal cost in Trenton?

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 Trenton?

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.
