Every Auburn residential WM garbage customer gets one free bulky item collection a year, scheduled in advance and collected on the regular service day, for up to four large items.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free once a year for a Waste Management Auburn residential garbage customer, for up to four large items, when the pickup is scheduled in advance with the hauler on 253-939-9792 and the items meet the published limits. A household with more than four items or with refused material uses the county facilities instead, where fees apply.
When & how
Call the hauler to schedule the pickup, expect it on the regular service day, and be ready to tell the customer service agent which items are going to the curb.
Get it ready
Keep every item within the published limits: no single item over three hundred pounds or needing more than two people to lift, nothing longer than eight feet, nothing holding liquids such as oils or fuel, and cords and similar parts taped or tied closed. Keep refused material out of the pickup entirely, which means no household or food waste, no tires, no truck canopies, no riding lawn mowers, no hot tubs, no remodeling or building material and no hazardous waste.
The hauler's bulky appliance list covers a refrigerator or freezer that has been emptied, a stove, cook top or hood range, a clothes washer, a clothes dryer, a hot water heater, a dishwasher, a trash compactor, a window or floor air conditioner, a dehumidifier, a water cooler and a small furnace. King County does not accept major appliances for disposal except plastic dishwashers, and recycles them at five transfer stations.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the free annual bulky item pickup for a Waste Management Auburn residential garbage customer within the four item allowance, scheduled on 253-939-9792. A household that takes an appliance to King County instead pays the published recycling fee, which the county states is thirty dollars per unit for a refrigerant appliance such as a refrigerator, freezer, air conditioner, dehumidifier or heat pump, with no commercial appliances accepted.
When & how
Schedule the annual pickup, or take the unit to one of the county transfer stations that recycle major appliances.
Get it ready
Empty a refrigerator or freezer before it goes out, as the hauler's list requires, and keep the unit off a load with refused material. A unit that still holds refrigerant is priced as a refrigerant appliance at the county, so tell the scale house what is in the load.
Call Waste Management on 253-939-9792 to schedule the pickup, which happens on the regular service day, and put out up to four large items. No single item may weigh more than three hundred pounds or need more than two people to lift, nothing may be longer than eight feet, nothing may hold liquids such as oils or fuel, and cords are taped or tied closed. Remodeling and building material, tires, hot tubs, propane tanks, batteries and hazardous material are all refused.
The station is at 35101 W Valley Hwy S in Algona and serves customers who live or do business in King County's service area, which does not include Seattle or Milton. Vehicles and trailers together may not exceed forty feet, payment is by credit card, cash or Apple Pay, and a twenty five dollar unsecured load fee applies under the county code. The station takes mixed recycling plus mattresses, appliances, tires, clean wood, metal, bicycles and textiles, and its household hazardous waste window is free to a King County household.
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 Auburn.
How much does appliance removal cost in Auburn?+
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 Auburn?+
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 bulky items can I put out in Auburn?+
Up to four large items once a year, free with the residential garbage service. The pickup has to be scheduled in advance with Waste Management on 253-939-9792 and it happens on the regular service day. No single item may weigh more than three hundred pounds or need more than two people to lift, nothing may be longer than eight feet, and nothing may hold liquids such as oils or fuel.Official guidance
What will the Auburn bulky item pickup not take?+
Household garbage, animal waste and food waste are refused, along with tires, truck canopies, riding lawn mowers and hot tubs. Every kind of remodeling or building material is refused too, including doors, cabinets, bathtubs and tub walls, sinks, toilets, vanities, countertops, carpets, flooring, sheet rock, insulation, roofing, cement blocks, decking, fencing and lumber. Batteries, fluorescent fixtures and bulbs, hazardous materials and propane tanks are also refused, and the hauler's sheet points those loads at the King County transfer stations.Official guidance
Where do refrigerators and other appliances go in Auburn?+
A refrigerator or freezer has to be emptied, and then it goes on the free annual bulky item pickup along with stoves, cook tops, washers, dryers, hot water heaters, dishwashers, trash compactors, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, water coolers and small furnaces. Call Waste Management on 253-939-9792 to schedule it. King County does not accept major appliances for disposal except dishwashers that are at least half plastic, and recycles them at its transfer stations, where a refrigerant appliance is charged thirty dollars per unit.Official guidance
What does Auburn charge for bulky items and disposal?+
The free annual bulky item pickup covers up to four large items once a year for a residential Waste Management customer, and the city does not publish a curbside rate because the hauler bills the account directly, so the monthly amount is confirmed with Waste Management on 253-939-9792. Self hauling goes by the King County fee schedule, where garbage carries a minimum for the first three hundred twenty pounds and a per ton rate above it, a mattress recycled at a county station carries a per item handling fee with a limit of six items per customer, a refrigerant appliance is thirty dollars per unit, clean untreated wood has its own recycling rate, and a twenty five dollar unsecured load fee applies. A household with a ProviderOne, EBT or ORCA LIFT card can take twenty dollars off each type of waste on each visit through the Cleanup LIFT discount.Official guidance
What will Auburn not take in the bulky item pickup?+
Household garbage, animal waste and food waste, tires, truck canopies, riding lawn mowers and hot tubs. Every kind of remodeling or building material is refused, including doors, cabinets, bathtubs and tub walls, sinks, toilets, vanities, countertops, carpets, flooring, sheet rock, insulation, roofing, cement blocks, decking, fencing and lumber. Batteries, fluorescent fixtures and bulbs, hazardous materials and propane tanks are refused too, and those loads go to the King County transfer stations or to the free household hazardous waste drop-off instead.Official guidance
Who handles garbage and disposal in Auburn?+
Waste Management collects under the city franchise for all Auburn customers inside city limits and handles customer service and billing on 253-939-9792, while King County runs the disposal side through the South County Recycling and Transfer Station in Algona and the county solid waste information line on 206-477-4466. The city's own page names those contacts and points weather delays at the hauler's service alerts page, and the county's hazardous waste program runs the free household hazardous waste collection at the station.Official guidance
Are there recycling or bulky item events in Auburn?+
The city lists a King County recycling event at Pioneer Elementary and the year round bulky item collection, and the neighborhood litter program runs a city contracted litter crew from Monday through Friday with route maps published, while large bulky items that create a safety concern are collected as soon as possible. Bulky item collection itself is the year round route, since the free pickup can be scheduled at any point in the year for a residential customer.Official guidance
