City cost & eligibility
No charge. Single-family residential accounts receive four free bulky item pickups each calendar year and each multi-family residential unit receives two, arranged by reservation with the contracted hauler.

Get it ready
Bulky items are household objects that are too large for the carts and need more than one person to handle. Keep the pile clear of sidewalks, driveways and roadways, and remove or secure refrigerator doors before the pickup.
Appliances, washing machines, water heaters and refrigerators are on the bulky item list and go out on one of the free reservations.
City cost & eligibility

City of Arcadia Public Works Services Department and Waste Management
Free bulky item pickup by reservation
Households with a couch, a mattress, an appliance, a refrigerator or an electronic device to clear.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Four free bulky item pickups a calendar year for a single-family residential account and two for each multi-family residential unit.
Arrange it
Call Waste Management at (626) 856-1285 or (800) 266-7551 to reserve the pickup, which the City asks for at least 24 hours before the regular collection day, and set the items out no earlier than the evening before.
Household bulky items only. Construction debris, tires, auto parts, household hazardous waste and household trash are not part of the program, and the pickup count resets each calendar year.
Arcadia residents haul their own material to nearby sites rather than to a city facility. Mattresses go to the Monrovia site on West Duarte Road, to R5 Recycling in Azusa, or to a Republic Services transfer station in East Los Angeles, each with its own unit limit and weekday hours, and the Bye Bye Mattress directory lists further sites and events. Used oil and filters go to certified collection centers, and the City gives out free containers, funnels and oil change mats at the Public Works Service Center on Goldring Road. Scrap metal goes to yards in Irwindale, South El Monte and Baldwin Park, household batteries go to drop boxes at City Hall, the Library, the Community Center and the Public Works Services Department, and household hazardous waste is collected from the doorstep through the hauler's program, with a pharmacy kiosk and a sheriff station for medicines.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Arcadia.
How much does appliance removal cost in Arcadia?+
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 Arcadia?+
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 many free bulky pickups do I get?+
A single-family residential account gets four free bulky item pickups each calendar year, and each multi-family residential unit gets two. Each one is a reservation, so call Waste Management at (626) 856-1285 or (800) 266-7551, and the City asks for at least 24 hours of notice.Official guidance
What counts as a bulky item?+
Large, bulky or difficult to handle household objects such as couches, furniture, mattresses, rugs, appliances, washing machines, water heaters, refrigerators and large bundled branches that will not fit in the green container. The published list is not exhaustive, so ask the hauler about anything else.Official guidance
When should bulky items go out?+
No earlier than the evening before the scheduled pickup, and never in a way that blocks a sidewalk, driveway or roadway. Refrigerator doors have to be removed or secured before the crew arrives.Official guidance
Which appliances will Arcadia pick up?+
Refrigerators, washing machines, water heaters and appliances generally are on the bulky item list, so they go out by reservation with the free pickups included on the account. Refrigerator doors must be removed or secured before the crew arrives.Official guidance
What about scrap metal from an appliance or a project?+
The City points residents to scrap yards that take metal, including SA Recycling in Irwindale, P and T Metals in South El Monte, and Allan Company in Baldwin Park, so clean metal can be recycled instead of going to a landfill.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Arcadia?+
The City contracts with Waste Management for residential and multi-family trash and recycling, and the collection runs on Wednesdays city-wide. The Public Works Services Department at (626) 254-2720 handles City questions, and the hauler's customer service line is (800) 266-7551.Official guidance
What do I do with paint, chemicals, batteries and medicines?+
Arcadia residents are allowed up to three free household hazardous waste collections a year through the hauler's doorstep program at (800) 449-7587 or wmatyourdoor.com, and business material is not collected. Household batteries go to drop boxes at City Hall, the Library, the Community Center or the Public Works Services Department, with the contact ends of lithium batteries taped and no automotive batteries. Medicines go to the pharmacy kiosk on South Baldwin Avenue, and pharmaceuticals and sharps are accepted anonymously at the Temple City sheriff station.Official guidance
What plastics can go in the recycling cart?+
The curbside cart takes type 1, 2 and 5 plastics, identified by the numbered recycling symbol on the packaging. Tetrapak cartons are not recyclable in the City's service because of the waxy surface coating, even though the packaging suggests otherwise.Official guidance
How does green waste go out?+
Green waste is collected on the same Wednesday schedule as trash and recycling, and large bundled branches that will not fit in the green container can go out as a bulky item on one of the free reservations. The City also sells compost bins to residents.Official guidance
