Purchased large item pickup

Accepted with preparation

Charlottesville sells bulky collection by the pickup. A household that already receives city trash and recycling buys a large item pickup at the Treasurer's Office and then calls the waste line to book the day, and the published price rises with each pickup taken inside a rolling year.

City cost & eligibility
$35 for the first large item collection on the city's rolling 365 day fee scale, with the second collection at 50 dollars and every subsequent collection at 100 dollars. Residential addresses receiving city operated curbside trash and recycling collection. The pickup is bought from the Treasurer's Office in person, by mail or online before the household calls 434-970-3830 to arrange the date.
When & how
Buy the pickup first and then call 434-970-3830 for the date, because the service is scheduled rather than collected on the regular trash day. Trash itself runs daily in the Uptown area, twice daily Downtown and once a week on assigned days elsewhere.
Get it ready
Set the load at the collection point the city confirms when the date is booked, and keep automotive parts, hazardous waste and contractor spoils out of it entirely, because all three are refused on this service and are directed to the authority's Ivy center. A container without a valid sticker or decal is not emptied at all, so the everyday carts need their own sticker or decal.

Appliances, including units that hold Freon

Accepted with preparation

Appliances are named in the city's large item service, the authority takes them at Ivy as part of its waste category, and the authority also runs a free bi-annual Appliance Collection Event at Ivy, posted for October 3, 2026, where the only published condition is that anything containing Freon carries a per unit charge for the regulated material.

City cost & eligibility
$35 for the first large item collection on the city's rolling 365 day fee scale, with the second at 50 dollars and later collections at 100 dollars, while the authority instead charges 17 dollars per unit for an appliance containing Freon. Residential addresses receiving city trash and recycling for the city pickup, or any customer delivering to the Ivy center, where the Freon charge applies to refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, humidifiers, condenser units and similar equipment and the minimum load charge covers weights up to 200 pounds.
When & how
Buy and book the city pickup, or deliver to Ivy Monday through Saturday between 7:30 am and 4 pm.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and secure the doors, and keep the appliance out of the everyday container, which is only emptied when it carries a valid sticker or decal. The Ivy route does not ask the household to remove the refrigerant itself; it charges the published per unit fee instead, so confirm which route the unit is taking before anything is done to it.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Buy the pickup, then book the date

The city's large item service runs on purchases rather than a standing collection day. The household pays at the Treasurer's Office in person, by mail with the application form or online, and only then calls 434-970-3830 to arrange the collection date. The published ladder is 35 dollars for the first collection in a rolling 365 day window, 50 dollars for the second and 100 dollars for each one after that.

Every container needs its sticker or decal

Trash collection is fee based, and a container or bag without a sticker or decal is not collected at all. Individual stickers cover 13 gallon bags up to 25 pounds and 32 gallon bags up to 50 pounds, while annual decals run from 32 gallon with a 50 pound cap to 96 gallon with a 150 pound cap. A decal bears the address it was bought for, a transfer costs 5 dollars and a replacement costs 5 dollars.

Six holidays push the whole week back a day

Trash and recycling are not collected on Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year's Day. The service resumes on the next working day and runs a day behind for the rest of the week including Saturday, so a Friday route that week is collected on Saturday.

Automotive parts, chemicals and contractor spoils are refused

The city large item pickup will not take automotive parts, hazardous waste or contractor spoils, and it sends that material to the Rivanna Solid Waste Authority's Ivy center instead. Household chemicals such as paint, solvents, gasoline, kerosene, cleaners, pesticides, fluorescent tubes and CFLs wait for one of the authority's free collection days, and lithium batteries are accepted year round at Ivy.

Recycling is free with the trash account and runs every other week

Curbside recycling is free to customers who also use the city trash service, the city supplies the rolling cart, and collection runs every other week on the same day as trash. Carts come in three sizes with 95 gallon as the default and can be requested, exchanged or returned through the city's online form, and the authority's McIntire center takes extra source separated material.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

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

How much does appliance removal cost in Charlottesville?

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 Charlottesville?

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.

What does a large item pickup cost in Charlottesville?

The first collection on the rolling 365 day scale is 35 dollars, the second is 50 dollars and each one after that is 100 dollars. The pickup is purchased at the Treasurer's Office by mail or online, and the household then calls 434-970-3830 to arrange the collection date. Only addresses receiving city trash and recycling collection are eligible.Official guidance

What happens to a refrigerator or air conditioner in Charlottesville?

Appliances are named in the city's large item pickup, which starts at 35 dollars for the first collection in a rolling year, and they are also taken at the authority's Ivy center, where an appliance containing Freon carries a per unit charge for the regulated material. The free bi-annual Appliance Collection Event at Ivy, posted for October 3, 2026 from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., takes refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, kitchen stoves, furnaces, water heaters, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, heat pumps, microwaves, vacuum cleaners and toasters at no charge for county, city and Scottsville residents, with no commercial participation.Official guidance

Who collects trash in Charlottesville?

The City of Charlottesville's Public Works waste management crews collect it as a fee based service: a container or bag only gets emptied with a valid sticker or decal on it. Collection runs daily in the Uptown area, twice daily Downtown and once a week on assigned days everywhere else, and the waste and recycling line is 434-970-3830.Official guidance

How much does trash service cost in Charlottesville?

It is priced by the sticker or the decal rather than by an account. Individual stickers carry a published price for a 13 gallon bag up to 25 pounds and for a 32 gallon bag up to 50 pounds, and annual decals carry a published price for the 32, 50, 64 and 96 gallon sizes with weight caps of 50, 75, 100 and 150 pounds, valid from July 1 to June 30 and priced pro rata if bought mid year. The city's two decal pages disagree on the 50 gallon figure, so confirm the current price with the Treasurer's Office before buying.Official guidance
