Appliance collection was not part of the suspension: washers, dryers, stoves and refrigerators are collected only on the dates marked in red on the waste collection calendar.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no appliance rate, so confirm the current charge and the next red date on the collection calendar with Neighborhood Revitalization and Waste Collection at 518-382-5144.
When & how
Appliance collection happens only on the calendar dates printed in red, so check the published schedule for the district before setting a unit out.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and secure or remove the doors, and keep the appliance off the curb on an ordinary garbage day, because the notice states that appliance procedures are unchanged and collection is limited to the red calendar dates.
Appliance collection was not affected by the bulk suspension: the city states that washers, dryers, stoves and refrigerators continue to be collected only on the dates indicated in red on the waste collection calendar. Check the schedule for the district before setting a unit out, and call 518-382-5144 to confirm the next red date.
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.

Self haul in Schenectady runs through the city collection and the county programme. The Bulk Waste Pickup Program is suspended after the March 20, 2026 Council vote, and during the suspension furniture, mattresses, bed frames and chairs go out on the regular garbage day at no additional cost, while appliances such as washers, dryers, stoves and refrigerators are collected only on the dates printed in red on the waste collection calendar. Yard waste goes out on the regular garbage day from April through November in 30 gallon brown paper bags, with no plastic bags or bins and no construction or demolition material. Single stream recycling takes paper, plastic, aluminium and glass in a container of 40 gallons or less with two stickers from City Hall Room 9. Household chemicals labelled flammable, toxic, corrosive or reactive go to the Schenectady County Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program on (518) 388-4775 or recycling@schenectadycountyny.gov, which is for county residents, needs registration and requires a composting facility and Resident Recycling Center permit to register. The city publishes no electronics, television or construction collection and no drop-off for either, so those have to be confirmed with Neighborhood Revitalization and Waste Collection at 518-382-5144, at 105 Jay Street Room 9.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Schenectady.
How much does appliance removal cost in Schenectady?+
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 Schenectady?+
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.
When are appliances collected in Schenectady?+
Only on the dates printed in red on the waste collection calendar. The suspension notice states plainly that appliance collection procedures remain unchanged and that appliances such as washers, dryers, stoves and refrigerators continue to be collected only on the red calendar dates, so check the schedule for the district or call 518-382-5144.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Schenectady?+
The city does, through the Department of General Services and its Neighborhood Revitalization and Waste Collection office at 105 Jay Street Room 9 on 518-382-5144. Collection runs on a district schedule, so call that number to find out which of the five districts the address is in, and recycling runs as a single stream collection on the same route.Official guidance
What is happening with bulk waste collection in Schenectady?+
The Bulk Waste Pickup Program was suspended on March 20, 2026 for 90 days, after which the Council said it would be re-evaluated and either reinstated or the suspension extended. While it is suspended residents may put bulk items including furniture, mattresses, bed frames and chairs out on their regular garbage day at no additional cost, and appliances are unchanged because they are collected only on the red dates on the collection calendar.Official guidance
