Does Concord pick up appliances?
Concord's Bulky Item Pickup Service runs monthly at $32 per pickup, but the wait time stretches 3-5 weeks for every collection. That monthly frequency doesn't help when scheduling takes over a month.
City program details: Bulky Item Pickup Service. Frequency: monthly. Wait: 3-5 weeks. Fees: $32 per pickup
Self-hauling to Keller Canyon Landfill in Pittsburg costs $25-60 per load but requires the round trip and truck rental. In Monument Corridor and Downtown Concord, most residents just wait out the 3-5 weeks.
Dropcurb picks up appliances same-day in Concord for $104 flat — no wait, no annual limits, no restrictions.
Monthly service with a month-plus wait? That's not monthly.
Concord calls it monthly pickup but 3-5 weeks lead time means your actual pickup might happen every two months. When you schedule in January for February pickup, you're lucky to see the truck in March.

What happens to your appliance after pickup
Appliances are recycled at licensed facilities that specialize in handling refrigerants, compressor oils, and heavy metals. Refrigerators and freezers undergo certified Freon recovery before processing — the $25 recycling fee covers this. Steel, copper, aluminum, and other metals are separated and sent to scrap processors. Compressors, motors, and wiring are individually processed. Appliances in working condition may be refurbished and resold or donated to organizations like Habitat for Humanity ReStore.
Why Concord residents choose Dropcurb for appliance removal
$79 vs Concord's $32 but eliminates the 3-5 week wait completely. Keller Canyon costs similar to Concord but add truck rental, gas, and your Saturday to the real price.
