How to Get Rid of Old Appliances, Furniture, and Other Household Goods
Did you know that most household items are either repairable, donate-able, or recyclable? Please donate good condition household items to your favorite local charitable organization, instead of calling the garbage company to come get them. It will save you hauling charges and others will benefit from your unwanted goods.
Or, sell it at a consignment store. There are many types of consignment stores listed in your phone book and in the Contra Costa Reuse & Recycling Guide.
Recycle unwanted or non-working appliances. Below are several options. Some charge a pick up fee while others may require drop-off. Call for details.
