Appliances are trash under the city's definition, and the city collects them at the curb once a permit sticker is on the unit. The Jeter Avenue and 8th Avenue recycling centers also take appliances at no charge.
City cost & eligibility
From $5 per appliance permit sticker bought at the Revenue Department on the first floor of City Hall at 204 South 7th Street, with a hazardous unit such as a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner carrying the higher sticker price of 15 dollars. Opelika addresses with city collection service. The sticker has to be showing or crews will not take the appliance, and a unit that still holds refrigerant is priced as hazardous. One city answer describes hazardous as anything containing refrigerant while another groups microwaves with the hazardous units, so confirm which sticker your appliance needs.
When & how
Buy the sticker at the Revenue Department and set the unit out on the normal collection day. The Jeter Avenue center takes appliances Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., and the 8th Avenue gate is open from 8 a.m. Friday until 8 a.m. Tuesday.
Get it ready
Put the sticker on the unit before it reaches the curb, empty the appliance first, and use a recycling center instead if you would rather not buy a sticker, because the city lists appliance drop-off at those two sites at no charge.
Bagged household waste belongs in the 95-gallon cart, and everything else the city hauls is trash: limbs, grass clippings, furniture, appliances, metal objects and other non-hazardous material. Trash goes out on the same day as the garbage cart and is handled by the knuckle-boom trucks, so a couch or a mattress never belongs in the cart and garbage never belongs in the trash pile.
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.
A household with a refrigerator, freezer, washer, dryer, stove or air conditioner that is going out with the trash.
Cost & conditions
From $5 per permit sticker at the Revenue Department on the first floor of City Hall, with the hazardous appliance sticker for a unit that holds refrigerant priced at 15 dollars. Opelika addresses with city collection service. The sticker has to be showing on the unit or city crews will not collect it, and one city answer also groups microwaves with the hazardous appliances, so confirm the class before buying.
Arrange it
Buy the sticker at City Hall, 204 South 7th Street, put it on the unit, and set the appliance out on the normal collection day.
No sticker means no pickup, the hazardous sticker costs more than the standard one, and the free alternative is a trip to the Jeter Avenue or 8th Avenue recycling center.
A household that would rather drive appliances, residential tires, household paint cans, cooking oil or recycling to a city center than set them out.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Appliances are listed at no charge to residents, tires are limited to eight per resident, and no fee is published for household paint cans, cooking oil or recycling. Confirm any exception with Opelika Environmental Services at 334-705-5480.
Arrange it
Take the load to 675 Jeter Avenue Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., or to 600 8th Avenue between 8 a.m. Friday and 8 a.m. Tuesday. Items must be loose rather than bagged and food containers have to be washed.
No glass, batteries or electronics at either center, paint from households only with no 5-gallon buckets, and yard waste only at the Jeter Avenue site.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Opelika.
How much does appliance removal cost in Opelika?+
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 Opelika?+
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.
Do I need a sticker for an appliance pickup in Opelika?+
Yes. The city will not collect an appliance unless a permit sticker is showing on it. Stickers come from the Revenue Department on the first floor of City Hall at 204 South 7th Street, and a unit that holds refrigerant is priced higher than a unit that does not. Appliances can also be dropped at the Jeter Avenue or 8th Avenue center at no charge.Official guidance
Who collects garbage and trash in Opelika?+
Opelika Environmental Services runs the city program and can be reached on 334-705-5480 for garbage and trash questions. Garbage is collected weekly from a 95-gallon cart, and trash such as furniture, appliances, limbs and metal objects is collected on the same day by the knuckle-boom trucks. New or changed service is arranged through Opelika Power Services on 334-705-5170, whose customer service center is at 600 Fox Run Parkway.Official guidance
What does the appliance permit sticker cost, and where do I buy it?+
The Revenue Department on the first floor of City Hall at 204 South 7th Street sells the stickers, with a higher price for a hazardous appliance such as a unit that holds refrigerant. Without a sticker showing, city crews will not collect the appliance. Appliances can also be dropped at the Jeter Avenue or 8th Avenue recycling center at no charge.Official guidance
