City collection A sofa, sectional or dresser does not fit the weekly cart. In the Waste Management service area it is one of the items collected as a booked bulky item, and any Everett address can also take furniture to a Snohomish County transfer station, where the load is charged as garbage by weight with a minimum for the first 360 pounds. Waste Management quotes furniture as a varying bulky item and the county station bills a self hauled load by weight, so the amount depends on the item and the route rather than on a published city rate.
City collection Mattresses and covered springs are not part of curbside recycling. Snohomish County accepts them at its transfer stations as garbage, and it names two mattress recyclers as the alternative, Arlington Recycle Warehouse for Everett and MCS Recycle in Maltby. In the Waste Management service area a mattress can also be booked as a bulky item. The county bills a mattress as garbage by weight at the scale house, the two recyclers set their own per item price, and Waste Management quotes a mattress as a varying bulky item, so confirm the route and the amount before the mattress leaves the house.
City collection A washer, dryer, stove, water heater, dishwasher with a metal housing or microwave is a household appliance that the county recycling areas take at no charge for residents, provided the unit is free of garbage. Units holding refrigerant are refused there: refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, heat pumps and water coolers go to a scrap metal or appliance dealer instead, and the county lists several of them. The county recycling area takes non refrigerant appliances at no charge from residents, while the dealers listed for refrigerant units set their own prices and Waste Management quotes the same appliance as a varying bulky item, so confirm which route fits before the appliance is moved.
City collection A bulky item is a booked collection rather than a cart load. In the Waste Management service area of south Everett, mattresses, appliances, console televisions and furniture are picked up by special arrangement when the customer calls, and the price varies by item. Rubatino, which serves most Everett addresses, publishes garbage, recycling and food and yard waste collection plus drop box and roll off containers for large volumes, so an oversized item there is quoted rather than set out. Waste Management lists bulky items at a varying rate that it quotes by phone, and Rubatino does not publish a price for an oversized item or a drop box, so confirm the item and the amount with the hauler that serves the address before anything is moved.
The highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Everett does not run its own garbage crew. Rubatino Refuse Removal serves most of the city limits and Waste Management serves south Everett, so the first question for any oversized item is which hauler serves the address. Waste Management books mattresses, appliances, console televisions and furniture as bulky items by special arrangement, while Rubatino's published work for large volumes is a drop box or roll off container. Everything else runs through Snohomish County: the Airport Road transfer station on Minuteman Drive weighs a self hauled load and charges a minimum for the first 360 pounds, and restricted streams leave that route entirely, with electronics going free through E-Cycle Washington, refrigerant appliances going to the dealers the county lists, and paint and solvents going to the free household hazardous waste station on McDougall Avenue.
A bulky item is a booked collection rather than a cart load. In the Waste Management service area of south Everett, mattresses, appliances, console televisions and furniture are picked up by special arrangement when the customer calls, and the price varies by item. Rubatino, which serves most Everett addresses, publishes garbage, recycling and food and yard waste collection plus drop box and roll off containers for large volumes, so an oversized item there is quoted rather than set out.
City cost & eligibility
Waste Management lists bulky items at a varying rate that it quotes by phone, and Rubatino does not publish a price for an oversized item or a drop box, so confirm the item and the amount with the hauler that serves the address before anything is moved.
When & how
Call Waste Management on 800-592-9995 during its weekday service hours from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., or Rubatino on 425-259-0044, and set the item out only for the arranged day rather than on the regular collection day.
Get it ready
Move the item to the collection point and keep it dry and complete, with the doors, drawers and cushions that belong with it. The weekly cart service does not cover an oversized item, so nothing should be placed out before the collection is booked.
A sofa, sectional or dresser does not fit the weekly cart. In the Waste Management service area it is one of the items collected as a booked bulky item, and any Everett address can also take furniture to a Snohomish County transfer station, where the load is charged as garbage by weight with a minimum for the first 360 pounds.
City cost & eligibility
Waste Management quotes furniture as a varying bulky item and the county station bills a self hauled load by weight, so the amount depends on the item and the route rather than on a published city rate.
When & how
Book with the hauler before the collection day, or arrive at a county station at least 30 minutes before it closes, since the stations shut at 4:30 p.m. every day.
Get it ready
Empty the drawers and cabinets, keep the cushions and hardware with the frame, and keep the piece dry. A metal frame that is at least 85 percent metal and no longer than eight feet can go in the free residential scrap metal area instead of the garbage pile.
Mattresses and covered springs are not part of curbside recycling. Snohomish County accepts them at its transfer stations as garbage, and it names two mattress recyclers as the alternative, Arlington Recycle Warehouse for Everett and MCS Recycle in Maltby. In the Waste Management service area a mattress can also be booked as a bulky item.
City cost & eligibility
The county bills a mattress as garbage by weight at the scale house, the two recyclers set their own per item price, and Waste Management quotes a mattress as a varying bulky item, so confirm the route and the amount before the mattress leaves the house.
When & how
Either book a bulky collection with the hauler or drive the mattress to a county station between 7 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., arriving at least 30 minutes before closing, and call a recycler first for its drop off window.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and free of pests, and send the box spring with it when both are going. A mattress a recycler takes is diverted from the landfill, while the same mattress is charged as a weighed garbage load at a county station.
A washer, dryer, stove, water heater, dishwasher with a metal housing or microwave is a household appliance that the county recycling areas take at no charge for residents, provided the unit is free of garbage. Units holding refrigerant are refused there: refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, heat pumps and water coolers go to a scrap metal or appliance dealer instead, and the county lists several of them.
City cost & eligibility
The county recycling area takes non refrigerant appliances at no charge from residents, while the dealers listed for refrigerant units set their own prices and Waste Management quotes the same appliance as a varying bulky item, so confirm which route fits before the appliance is moved.
When & how
Take a non refrigerant appliance to a county station between 7 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. any day of the week, or call a refrigerant dealer and the hauler during business hours to arrange the other route.
Get it ready
Empty the unit, remove food and loose parts, and take the door off a refrigerator or freezer before anyone handles it. A dishwasher without a metal housing is charged as garbage at the regular rate, and any appliance that still holds refrigerant is refused at county facilities and at the household hazardous waste station.
Televisions, computers, laptops, monitors, tablets, e-readers and portable DVD players are recycled free through E-Cycle Washington, and both the county transfer stations and the household hazardous waste station refuse electronics. In the Waste Management service area a console television can also be booked as a bulky item.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free to Washington households at participating E-Cycle Washington collection sites, which are found by address, city or ZIP at ecyclewa.org; a badly damaged unit may be refused, and Waste Management quotes a console television as a separate bulky item.
When & how
Find the nearest E-Cycle site and check its hours before the trip, keep the device out of the garbage and recycling carts, and call ahead when the screen is cracked or the case is broken.
Get it ready
Bring the device whole where you can, take the remote and cables with it, and bag any loose or leaking battery separately. A television is never collected in the recycling cart, and a shattered screen may be refused at the counter.
Exercise equipment is judged by what it is made of. A treadmill frame, weight stack or stationary bike that is at least 85 percent metal and no longer than eight feet counts as scrap metal in the free residential recycling area at a county station. Units that are mostly plastic, foam or upholstery are charged as garbage by weight.
City cost & eligibility
Qualifying metal equipment is free in the county residential recycling area and mixed equipment is billed as garbage by weight at the scale house, so confirm the material and the route before the machine is moved.
When & how
Run a metal machine to a county station during its 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. hours, or book a bulky collection with the hauler when the unit has to come out of a house, a garage or a gym.
Get it ready
Drain or remove anything that can spill, take the battery out if the console has one, and separate loose plastic and padding. A machine that is mostly metal but longer than eight feet does not qualify for the scrap metal area.
Renovation debris is charged by weight rather than by the pickup. Snohomish County bills self hauled loads at the transfer station by the ton with a minimum for the first 360 pounds, and concrete, brick, asphalt and dirt are accepted there as garbage only. Rubatino rents 20 and 35 cubic yard drop boxes for a remodel or a re-roof, and Waste Management offers temporary containers for the same work in its service area.
City cost & eligibility
From $30 for for a self hauled garbage load of up to 360 pounds at a Snohomish County transfer station, with heavier loads charged by weight. Self hauled loads from households and contractors, paid at the scale house by card, cash or check; a drop box or a temporary container from the hauler is quoted separately.
When & how
Bring the load during station hours, arrive at least 30 minutes before the 4:30 p.m. close, and unload it yourself, or order a drop box or a temporary container when the volume is too large for one trip.
Get it ready
Cover and secure the load with a tarp or netting and straps, because an uncovered load is charged more at the scale house. Keep yard and clean wood debris separate, since the county no longer accepts it at any facility, and keep paint, solvents, electronics and appliances out of the pile.
The city of Everett does not run garbage, recycling or yard waste collection, so the route depends on the address. Rubatino Refuse Removal serves most of the city limits, including zip codes 98201, 98203, 98204 and part of 98208, on 425-259-0044. Waste Management serves south Everett, described as south of 112th Street SE, Eastmont and Silver Lake including the 75th Street overpass, on 1-800-592-9995. Snohomish County Solid Waste answers the rest on 425-388-3425.
Containers go to the street by 6 a.m. on collection day and come back in as soon as they are emptied. Carts are placed three feet apart and three feet from cars, trees, mailboxes and fences, with the wheels close to the curb and the lids opening toward the street. A 32 gallon unit lifted by hand is limited to 65 pounds and a larger cart lifted mechanically is limited to 180 pounds, and an extra bag or 32 gallon can that does not fit with the lid closed is charged separately.
Airport Road Recycling and Transfer Station at 10700 Minuteman Drive is inside Everett and opens seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., closed on New Year's Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Arrive at least 30 minutes before closing, unload your own vehicle, take brooms and shovels with you, and expect the load to be weighed. The recycling area is for residential customers only and it refuses yard and clean wood debris, which the county has not accepted at any facility since 2022.
Dangerous and moderate risk waste is refused at every county facility, and so are electronics, refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, heat pumps, liquid waste, asbestos and tires beyond five per customer per day in passenger car and pickup truck sizes. Household hazardous waste such as paint, solvents, gasoline, propane tanks in barbecue size, batteries and motor oil belongs at 3434 McDougall Avenue, which is free for households and open Wednesday to Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
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.
Mattresses, box springs and futons from an Everett household.
Cost & conditions
Snohomish County lists these recyclers as the alternative to landfilling a mattress but publishes no price for them, so call for the per item amount before loading.
Arrange it
Call Arlington Recycle Warehouse on 425-931-3670 or MCS Recycle in Maltby on 206-556-3199, confirm the unit is accepted, and deliver it during the hours you are given.
These are third party businesses rather than a county service and the county lists them without endorsing them, so a stained or infested unit may be refused and the price is set by the business.
Scrap metal and appliance dealers for refrigerant units
Refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, heat pumps and water coolers.
Cost & conditions
The county lists these dealers because it refuses refrigerant units itself, and each business sets its own price, so call with the make, model and size before the unit is moved.
Arrange it
Call Ace Metal in Mukilteo on 425-493-6802, Budget Appliance Services in Everett on 425-252-7776, CMR Recycling, Judd and Black Appliance in Everett, or Snohomish Appliance Recycling Outlet, and agree on delivery or collection.
These are third party businesses rather than a county service, a unit that still holds refrigerant cannot be left at a county station or the household hazardous waste station, and the door should come off before the unit is handed over.

Televisions, computers, laptops, monitors, tablets, e-readers and portable DVD players.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Free to Washington households at participating collection sites, with the nearest site found by address, city or ZIP at ecyclewa.org.
Arrange it
Look up the nearest collection site, confirm its hours, and hand the device over at the counter, calling first when the screen or the case is damaged.
Keyboards, mice, printers, toner cartridges and cell phones are outside the program even though Best Buy and Staples take them at no charge, and a badly damaged television may be refused.

Rubatino drop box and roll off service
Large volumes from a remodel, a re-roof, a demolition or a whole home cleanout.
Cost & conditions
Rubatino publishes the 20 and 35 cubic yard container options but quotes the price, so ask for the rate and the rental period before ordering.
Arrange it
Call 425-259-0044 or request a roll off quote for a 20 or 35 cubic yard container on a daily, temporary or long term basis.
The container is a paid third party service from the hauler that serves most Everett addresses, and restricted material such as paint, appliances, electronics and yard debris has to stay out of it.

Waste Management temporary containers
Remodelling and construction projects at a south Everett address.
Cost & conditions

Arrange it
Call 800-592-9995 during its weekday service hours from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and describe the project and the volume.
The container belongs to the hauler rather than the city, is quoted per container, and the same hauler books a sofa or a console television as a bulky item instead of a container.

Prices, timing and the details that matter at your address.
How much does pickup cost?+
Choose your items to see the exact price. A standard sofa is $79 first and $29 additional. The highest first-item price applies once; every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Review any applicable sales tax and the final total before payment.

How do I arrange a bulky item pickup in Everett?+
Call Waste Management on 800-592-9995 during its weekday service hours from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. if the address is in south Everett, because that hauler lists mattresses, appliances, console televisions and furniture as items it collects by special arrangement. Rubatino serves most of the rest of the city, so ask that office for a quote on the item or for a drop box when the load is large.Official guidance
Can a mattress be recycled in Everett?+
Snohomish County accepts mattresses and covered springs at its transfer stations as garbage only, and names Arlington Recycle Warehouse on 425-931-3670 and MCS Recycle in Maltby on 206-556-3199 as recyclers of them. In the Waste Management service area a mattress can also be booked as a bulky item on 800-592-9995.Official guidance
Where does a refrigerator or freezer go in Everett?+
County transfer stations and the household hazardous waste station both refuse refrigerators and freezers, along with air conditioners, dehumidifiers and heat pumps, and the county points owners to scrap metal and appliance dealers instead. Those dealers name their own prices, so call one before the unit is moved. A washer, dryer, stove, water heater or microwave without refrigerant is free in the residential recycling area at a county station.Official guidance
Is there a free way to get rid of a television in Everett?+
Yes. E-Cycle Washington takes televisions, computers, laptops, monitors, tablets, e-readers and portable DVD players at no charge from Washington households, and the nearest collection site is found at ecyclewa.org. Keyboards, mice, printers, toner cartridges and cell phones are outside that program, but both Best Buy and Staples take them at no charge.Official guidance
Who collects garbage and recycling in Everett?+
The city does not provide collection, so the provider depends on the address.

Snohomish County Solid Waste is the number for a self hauled load on 425-388-3425.Official guidance
What does a large item pickup cost in Everett?+
The city sets no collection charge because it does not collect. Waste Management lists extra garbage at a per bag amount on its Snohomish County rate sheet and quotes a mattress, a sofa or an appliance as a varying bulky item, Rubatino quotes drop boxes and oversized work directly, and a self hauled load at the county station is billed by weight with a minimum for the first 360 pounds.
