Appliances are on the bulky waste drop-off list at the Recycling Center, with refrigerators, stoves and ovens named as the examples, and the residential page describes the drop-off site as the place for old appliances. A unit that holds refrigerant needs a technician's tag first.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Appliances are accepted at the resident bulky drop-off and in the monthly bulky week with no published item fee, while a roll-off container for a project load is a paid service.
When & how
Taken to the Recycling Center drop-off at 4101 N. Bentsen during its open hours, or set out in the section's monthly bulky week.
Get it ready
Empty the unit, keep it out of both carts, and for a refrigerator have a technician confirm that the refrigerant was removed and tag the unit to show it. Bring a water bill to the drop-off site, and keep the appliance clear of obstructions in the curbside pile.
A refrigerator is accepted at the McAllen bulky waste drop-off only when it is tagged by a technician confirming the refrigerant was removed. Without that tag the unit does not meet the drop-off condition.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The city charges no item fee for a tagged refrigerator at the bulky drop-off, while the refrigerant removal is arranged and paid separately with a technician and is not priced by the city.
When & how
Taken to the Recycling Center drop-off at 4101 N. Bentsen during its open hours, or set out in the section's monthly bulky week.
Get it ready
Arrange the refrigerant removal with a technician, have the unit tagged with that confirmation, empty it and keep it out of both carts. Bring a water bill to the drop-off site, because the bulky drop-off is for city residents.
Keep three feet of empty space all around the brush and bulky pile, place it at the curbside or in the alleyway rather than in the street, and keep it away from mailboxes, fire hydrants, water meters, walls and fences. City Ordinance Sec. 90-42 makes it unlawful to place brush where it blocks a mailbox or covers a water meter box, telephone pedestal, gas meter or cable wire.
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 McAllen Public Works, Solid Waste Department and Recycling Center
Set it out in your section's monthly bulky week
A household with a sofa, a mattress, wood, carpet, bulky toys or appliances that the garbage cart will not take.
Cost & conditions
No charge. The brush and bulky week is a city residential service and the city publishes no item fee for it.
Arrange it
Find your section on the 2026 schedule, then set the pile out at the assigned location before the Monday of your collection week, with three feet of clear space all around it.
One week a month for the section, assigned set-out locations, three feet of clearance, and no construction debris, hazardous waste or clothes. A pile in the street or over a water meter or mailbox is a violation under City Ordinance Sec. 90-42.
City of McAllen Public Works, Solid Waste Department and Recycling Center
Drop it at the Recycling Center on Bentsen Road
A city resident with furniture, a mattress, carpet, wood, bulky toys, tires within the monthly limit, an appliance or electronics.
Cost & conditions
No charge. The bulky waste drop-off is a city service for residents with no published item fee, and e-waste disposal is offered to residents and non-residents at no published fee. Compost, mulch and crushed glass are sold at the same site.
Arrange it
Take the load to 4101 N. Bentsen Road during the drop-off window and bring a water bill as proof of address.
Residential use only for the bulky drop-off, construction debris, clothes and hazardous waste are refused, tires are limited to five a month for residents, and a refrigerator is taken only with a technician's tag confirming the refrigerant was removed.
Self-hauling in McAllen centres on the Recycling Center at 4101 N. Bentsen Road, which the city keeps as the alternative to driving to the landfill. City residents may use the bulky waste drop-off for furniture including sofas and mattresses, carpet, bulky toys, wood, tires limited to five a month, and appliances such as refrigerators, stoves and ovens, with a water bill as proof of address and a technician's tag on a refrigerator to confirm the refrigerant was removed. Electronic devices are taken there from residents and non-residents, and paper shredding is free. Construction debris is refused at the drop-off and in the curbside bulky week, so a project load goes into a city roll-off container instead, arranged through Public Works with the agreement submitted at City Hall. The curbside brush and bulky week still collects the same bulky material from the pile in the section's month, provided it sits at the assigned location with three feet of clearance and clear of mailboxes, hydrants and water meters.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in McAllen.
How much does appliance removal cost in McAllen?+
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 McAllen?+
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.
Where do old appliances go in McAllen?+
To the Recycling Center drop-off at 4101 N. Bentsen, which the city lists for old appliances and where refrigerators, stoves and ovens are named on the bulky waste list. City residents bring a water bill as proof of address. A refrigerator is only taken when a technician has tagged it to confirm the refrigerant was removed.Official guidance
Does a refrigerator need anything special in McAllen?+
Yes. The bulky waste drop-off list accepts refrigerators, stoves and ovens, but a refrigerator must be tagged by a technician confirming that the refrigerant was removed before the city will take it. Have the refrigerant removed and the tag fitted first, then bring the unit to the Recycling Center on Bentsen Road with a water bill.Official guidance
How do I know when bulky pickup comes to my McAllen address?+
The city publishes a 2026 brush and bulky schedule with the map split into four sections: North East in the first full week of the month, North West in the second, South West in the third and South East in the fourth. Items go out at the assigned location before the Monday of that week, and the schedule lists the dated week for every month of the year.Official guidance
What do I need to bring to the McAllen drop-off site?+
A water bill, because the bulky waste drop-off at the Recycling Center on Bentsen Road is offered for residential use only. The site takes furniture including sofas and mattresses, carpet, bulky toys, wood, tires within the five a month resident limit and appliances, and it accepts electronic devices from residents and non-residents. Construction debris, clothes and hazardous waste are refused there.Official guidance
