Does West Haven pick up appliances?
Same-day junk removal in West Haven starts at $79 with Dropcurb. West Haven has about 55,000 residents and only two city bulk pickup weeks each year, so most cleanouts cannot wait for the municipal schedule. Book online in about 60 seconds, place items at the curb, and get a photo-confirmed pickup from a local hauler.
City program details: West Haven bulk pickup is limited to two designated weeks each year (April 20-24 and September 14-18 in 2026). Limit is 6 cubic yards (about 6 feet by 6 feet by 4.5 feet). No building materials, tires, mattresses/box springs, propane tanks, or hazardous waste. Piles over limit can be left at curb and fined $100 per day. Mattress pickup requires city-purchased bag ($30 first, $20 additional).
West Haven's 2026 bulk pickup runs only April 20-24 and Sept. 14-18, with a hard cap of 6 cubic yards per collection and a $100 daily fine for piles that exceed the limit. The city also excludes mattresses, tires, construction debris, propane tanks, and hazardous waste from standard bulk pickup. In neighborhoods like West Shore, Allingtown, and Savin Rock, that leaves residents using paid transfer station trips, waiting for special city rules, or booking private removal when move-out timelines are tight.

West Haven allows bulk pickup only twice a year, with strict volume caps.

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.
