Furniture, mattresses, box springs and appliances that do not fit in a cart are collected from the curb by appointment. The hauler's rate table prices each group per item, and appliances sit outside the free yearly allowance.
City cost & eligibility
The two hauler pages publish different figures for the same groups: the bulky item page lists sofas, chairs, mattresses and box springs at $23.11, white goods at $22.10 and refrigerators or freezers at $33.16 per item, while the 2026 rate table on the service page lists $25.35, $24.69 and $37.04 for the same groups. Confirm the current charge when booking on 206-381-6980.
When & how
Call 206-381-6980 or book online, then put the item at the curb for the arranged collection day.
Get it ready
Take the doors off a refrigerator or freezer before it goes out, keep the piece where the crew can lift it from the curb, and remember that appliances are not part of the free collection and are charged separately.
Appliances are collected at the curb by appointment and are always charged, because the free yearly collection covers non-appliance items only. Doors come off before the piece goes out, and the county station recycles the unit rather than burying it.
City cost & eligibility
Appliances are excluded from the free yearly bulky collection, and the two hauler pages publish different figures: the bulky item page lists white goods at $22.10 and refrigerators or freezers at $33.16 per item, while the 2026 service rate table lists $24.69 for white goods and $37.04 for refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners. Confirm the charge at booking on 206-381-6980. A self hauled refrigerant unit is recycled at a county station for $30.00 per unit.
When & how
Book the collection with the hauler and put the appliance at the curb for the arranged day, or take it to the Factoria transfer station during station hours.
Get it ready
Remove the doors from refrigerators and freezers, secure cords and shelves, and keep the unit out of the garbage cart because appliances are not accepted as ordinary garbage at the county stations either.
A couch, mattress, appliance or other large piece is a scheduled collection rather than a curbside free for all. Call the hauler on 206-381-6980 or book online, then put the item at the curb for the arranged day. One non-appliance collection a year is free, covering up to one cubic yard of garbage in cans or bags of 32 gallons or less plus two non-appliance bulky items, and appliances plus anything beyond that limit are charged per item.
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.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Mercer Island.
How much does appliance removal cost in Mercer Island?+
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 Mercer Island?+
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 do I book a bulky item collection on Mercer Island?+
Call Recology on 206-381-6980 or use the online form and put the item at the curb for the arranged day. One non-appliance bulky collection a year is free for a residential customer, and anything beyond that allowance, plus every appliance, is charged per item at rates the hauler confirms when you book. Doors must come off refrigerators and freezers before collection.Official guidance
Is a refrigerator collected for free on Mercer Island?+
No. The free yearly bulky collection covers non-appliance items only, so a refrigerator or freezer is charged per item when it is booked for curbside collection, and the door has to come off before it goes out. The hauler confirms the current figure at booking on 206-381-6980. Self hauling is the other route: a county transfer station such as Factoria recycles the unit for a per unit charge.Official guidance
How are Mercer Island collection charges set?+
Garbage is billed monthly by cart size, with recycling and compost included, and an extra 32 gallon bag of garbage adds a charge on top. Bulky items are separate: one non-appliance collection a year is free and everything beyond that, plus every appliance, is charged per item at rates the hauler publishes and confirms at booking. Self hauled loads are weighed at the county station, and the on island electronics site and the county hazardous waste site both take their material at no charge. Dropcurb prices a booking separately with the total shown before payment.Official guidance
Who handles garbage and recycling on Mercer Island?+
Recology King County has been the city's solid waste hauler since October 1, 2019 under a ten year contract, and it handles service issues, missed collections and cart sizing on 206-381-6980, by text on 206-369-8604 or by email to mercerisland@recology.com.
