Bi-weekly bulk and brush collection

Accepted with preparation

Bulky collection is on the calendar rather than on request. Bulk and brush run every other week on the trash day of the recycling week, the pile goes where the household trash waits, and the city's own code section is what sets the day. A household that cannot wait can buy a 24-hour request instead.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. City of Richmond residential addresses on the collection route. The bi-weekly bulk and brush pickup is part of the collection service, and the published charge attaches only to the optional 24-hour request at 100 dollars per request and to appliance collection at 50 dollars per appliance.
When & how
Put the material out the night before the trash collection day during the household's recycling week, because the bi-weekly bulk round mirrors the recycling schedule. If the crew misses it they return by Saturday of that week, and if it is still out on the Saturday of the second recycling week the household calls 311 rather than the recycling authority.
Get it ready
Keep construction debris, tires, carpet, auto parts, bricks, drywall, pipes, paint, gas and propane tanks and lawn mowers out of the pile, because all of them are prohibited. Storm debris has to be cut into pieces no longer than four feet and left at the property line, because the crews carry no saws and do not enter private property.

Appliances and white goods

Accepted with preparation

Appliances have their own published price on the curbside route and a free route at the gates. The city charges 50 dollars per appliance or request to collect one from the address, arranged through 311, and city residents can instead drop appliances free at either self haul site.

City cost & eligibility
$50 per appliance for a city curbside appliance collection arranged through 311 or by mail with the service address. City of Richmond residents. The same page states that city residents can dispose of appliances, bulk and brush items free by taking them to the East Richmond Road Convenience Center or the Southside Transfer Station, so the 50 dollar charge applies to the collection at the address rather than to the material.
When & how
Call 311 to arrange the appliance collection and pay by check or money order with the service address, or bring the appliance to a self haul site during its published hours.
Get it ready
Empty the appliance and secure the doors, and keep it out of the supercan, which is the only container the weekly crew will empty. A unit that still holds refrigerant should be described when the collection is booked so the city can say how it is handled.

Bulk goes out on the trash day of the recycling week

The bi-weekly bulk and brush round mirrors the recycling schedule, and City Code Section 11-103 requires bulk items to be placed out on the trash collection day during the recycling week, in the same location as household trash and the night before the collection. If the crew does not collect the material on the day, it returns by Saturday; if items are still out on the Saturday of the second recycling week, the household calls 311 rather than the recycling authority.

Supercans have a four o'clock and a seven o'clock rule

Cans go out no earlier than 4 pm the day before collection and no later than 6 am on collection day, and they come back in by 7 am the day after. Cans left in the public right of way outside those times can draw a 50 dollar fine under City Code Section 86-44, and recycling receptacles are subject to the same warning and fine routine.

Only the city supercan is emptied

Residential trash is collected once a week Monday through Thursday, and it has to be inside a city-issued supercan; items in non-issued containers are not collected and draw a violation notice under City Code Section 86-81. Each residence gets one green can, up to three additional brown cans cost 55 dollars each through 311 with the fee added to the water bill, and businesses are limited to four cans at 23.75 dollars per month per can before a private hauler is required.

Construction debris, carpet, paint and tanks never ride the bulk round

The prohibited list for bulk and brush covers construction debris, tires without rims, carpet, auto parts, bricks, drywall, pipes, paint, gas tanks, propane tanks and lawn mowers. The self haul gates add their own boundary, refusing commercial or contractor debris and refusing dirt, rocks and concrete, and they accept brush and yard waste only if it is natural wood with no plywood or treated wood.

Storm debris waits at the property line in four foot pieces

Tree debris from a storm event is handled inside the same bi-weekly program with no call or request needed. Crews do not enter private property even when a city tree is involved, residents cut the material into pieces no larger than four feet because the crews carry no saws, and the debris waits at the property line until the round reaches it.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Self haul in Richmond means driving to one of two city gates. The East Richmond Road Convenience Center at 3800 East Richmond Road opens Monday through Friday from 7 am to 3:30 pm and Saturday from 8:30 am to 2 pm, taking household trash and a limited amount of bulk, yard waste and brush in natural wood only, tires without rims up to four, and small appliances, with no commercial vehicles and no contractor material, dirt, rocks or concrete.

Appliances, bulk and brush are free for city residents at either site, while the curbside alternative is a 50 dollar appliance collection booked through 311 and a 100 dollar 24-hour bulk request paid by check or money order.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

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

How much does appliance removal cost in Richmond?

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 Richmond?

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 is bulk waste collected in Richmond?

Every other week, on the trash collection day of the household's recycling week, in the same location the household trash waits. City Code Section 11-103 requires it to be out on that day. If the crew misses it they return by Saturday of that week, and if it is still out on the Saturday of the second recycling week the household calls 311 rather than CVWMA.Official guidance

What does appliance collection cost in Richmond?

The city charges 50 dollars per appliance or request to collect one from the address, arranged through 311 or by mailing a check or money order with the service address to Public Works Customer Care. A city resident can avoid the charge entirely by taking the appliance to the East Richmond Road Convenience Center or the Southside Transfer Station, where appliances, bulk and brush are free for city residents.Official guidance

How does the Richmond bulk and brush schedule work?

It runs every other week, mirroring the recycling schedule, and City Code Section 11-103 requires the items to be out on the trash collection day during the household's recycling week in the same location as the household trash. The crew normally collects on that day and returns by Saturday if it misses the pile, and a household that still has material out on the Saturday of the second recycling week calls 311 rather than the recycling authority.Official guidance

Can a household be fined over its trash cans in Richmond?

Yes. Cans go out no earlier than 4 pm the day before collection and no later than 6 am on collection day, and they have to be back in by 7 am the day after. A 50 dollar fine can be assessed under City Code Section 86-44 for cans left in the right of way beyond those times, and the city places yellow warning stickers on receptacles that are out at the wrong time.Official guidance
