One bulk item every week

Accepted with preparation

Harrisburg is one of the few cities in this dataset that still takes bulky material on an ordinary collection week. Every household may dispose of one bulk item each week at no extra charge, and the city's examples are a piece of furniture, a mattress, a bedspring and a roll of carpeting. One item goes each week, others are subject to a fine, and the pile belongs at the curb rather than in front of the house.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Households on the city collection route. The city states that each household is entitled to dispose of one bulk item each week, so the piece carries no separate charge, and large appliances are the one published exception because they fall outside the bulk allowance and carry a removal fee.
When & how
The item goes out the evening before the household's assigned collection day, and the city services each address once a week on its zone day. A citywide holiday delays collection by one day for the rest of the week.
Get it ready
Put the item at the appointed collection location rather than piled in front of the property, and keep the pile to the single item a household is allowed that week, because the city states that all others are subject to a fine. Keep large appliances out of the pile entirely and arrange the removal fee with Public Works first.

Large appliances

Special rules apply

Large appliances are carved out of the bulk allowance. The city states that they are not included in bulk items and are subject to a removal fee, and it directs residents to Public Works for questions, but no amount is published on the pages kept here, so the appliance route is a call rather than a rate.

City cost & eligibility
The city publishes that large appliances are excluded from bulk items and subject to a removal fee without naming the amount, so call the Department of Public Works on 717-412-4320 and describe the unit before it goes out, and confirm whether the fee is collected before or at pickup.
When & how
An appliance is not part of the ordinary weekly bulk item, so nothing should be set out for it until Public Works confirms the arrangement and the day. The rest of the collection week keeps the usual zone schedule, with holidays pushing the week back a day.
Get it ready
Keep the appliance out of the weekly bulk pile and out of the recycling bin, empty it first, secure the doors, and confirm whether the fee applies to the unit before it is left at the curb.

Containers and bulk go out the evening before the zone day

Every address in Harrisburg is served once a week on its own weekday zone, and the containers go to the appointed collection location the evening before that day. The city provides the standard trash and recycling containers, extra recycling bins are free, and questions about a container, its placement or an account go to the sanitation office on 717-412-4320.

One bulk item a week, and extras draw a fine

The weekly bulk entitlement is one item, and the city states plainly that only one is collected each week while all others are subject to a fine and that bulk items must not be piled in front of the property. A mattress and bedspring set, a couch or a roll of carpeting therefore uses the whole allowance for that week.

A citywide holiday pushes the week back a day

Collection dates are updated through the year for city holidays and furlough days, and a citywide holiday delays collection by one day for the rest of that week, so a Friday route moves to Saturday. The published schedule is the authority for the week rather than the usual zone day.

Appliances, electronics and construction each leave the curb

Three categories are outside the ordinary collection: large appliances, which the city excludes from bulk and prices as a removal, electronics such as toasters, microwave ovens, televisions and computers, which go free to the Dauphin County Recycling Center on South Cameron Street, and construction material such as plaster board, sheet rock, lumber, rocks, soil, cinder blocks and plumbing fixtures, which goes to the transfer station on 19th Street, a Public Works roll-off or a listed hauler.

Keep glass, bags and problem paper out of the recycling bin

The city splits material carefully: glass windows, mirrors and ceramics, food and food-soiled paper, plastic bags, light bulbs and garden hoses belong in the trash bin, while plastics 1, 2 and 5, aluminum and steel cans, cartons and flattened corrugated boxes belong in the recycling bin. Glass bottles and jars are separated and taken to one of the ten drop off sites, and the city's recycler does not want office paper, junk mail or shredded paper, which go in the trash unless the household arranges a separate collection.

Use the weekly bulk item allowance

A Harrisburg household with a couch, a mattress and bedspring, a roll of carpeting or another bulk piece that can go out on the regular collection day.

Cost & conditions

Arrange it
Put the item at the appointed collection location the evening before the assigned collection day, which is the household's own weekday zone. Call 717-412-4320 if you are unsure where that location is or how the week's holiday delay affects the day.

One bulk item each week, with all others subject to a fine and the direction not to pile items in front of the property. Large appliances, electronics and construction material are outside this allowance and follow their own routes.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Self haul in Harrisburg is about the three things the curb will not take. Household bulk stays with the city: one item a week, put at the appointed collection location the evening before the assigned zone day, with a couch, a mattress, a bedspring or a roll of carpeting as the published examples and a fine for extras, while a large appliance is excluded from that allowance and carries a removal fee arranged through Public Works on 717-412-4320. Electronics go to the Dauphin County Recycling Center at 1625 South Cameron St in Harrisburg, free of charge for county residents, open Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm on (717) 982-6772, and the city names small electric appliances such as toasters and microwave ovens along with televisions and computers. Construction material goes to the transfer station at the Incinerator on 19th Street, or into a roll-off container rented from Public Works at 1820 Paxton Street, or with one of the seven local haulers the city lists with phone numbers, and none of it belongs in the trash bin or the weekly bulk pile. Separated glass bottles and jars go to one of the ten city drop off sites, and the city's recycler does not want office paper, junk mail or shredded paper, which stay in the trash unless a separate collection is arranged.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

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

How much does appliance removal cost in Harrisburg?

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 Harrisburg?

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 many bulk items can go out in Harrisburg each week?

One. The city entitles each household to dispose of one bulk item every week at no separate charge, naming a piece of furniture, a mattress, a bedspring and a roll of carpeting as examples, and it states that other items are subject to a fine. The item goes out the evening before the assigned collection day, and large appliances are not part of the allowance.Official guidance

Can a large appliance go out as a bulk item in Harrisburg?

No. The city states that large appliances are not included in bulk items and are subject to a removal fee, and it directs the question to the Department of Public Works. Call 717-412-4320 and describe the unit before setting it out, because the fee is not published on the city pages.Official guidance

Who collects trash in Harrisburg?

The City of Harrisburg Sanitation Office, part of the Department of Public Works, which collects and disposes of residential solid waste for more than 20,000 households and businesses with its own crews. Every address is serviced once a week on one of five weekday zones, the city provides the containers, and the sanitation office answers on 717-412-4320 from the Public Works building at 1820 Paxton Street.Official guidance

How do I find my collection day in Harrisburg?

Your address sits in one of five zones, one for each weekday, and the city publishes a yearly trash and recycling schedule plus a Recycle Coach lookup where you can enter the address to see the collection schedule. Collection dates are updated through the year for city holidays and furlough days, and a citywide holiday delays collection by a day for the rest of that week.Official guidance

What does Harrisburg's recycling bin take, and what stays out?

The recycling bin takes plastics labeled 1, 2 and 5, aluminum and steel containers, empty aerosol cans, empty paint cans, newspaper, magazines, phone books and cartons, with flattened corrugated boxes stacked at the curb on trash day. Glass windows, mirrors and ceramics, food and food-soiled paper, diapers, plastic bags and wrappers, pizza boxes, wax-coated cardboard, used paper towels, aluminum foil, light bulbs and garden hoses stay in the trash. The city's recycler does not want office paper, junk mail or shredded paper, and glass bottles and jars are separated and taken to one of the ten drop off sites.Official guidance
