Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Tuscaloosa.
How much does appliance removal cost in Tuscaloosa?+
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 Tuscaloosa?+
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 are appliances collected in Tuscaloosa?+
Appliances are accepted in the trash program but collected separately from the regular trash and recycled. Refrigerators must be empty and taped shut or have the doors removed, and the collection is arranged by calling the Environmental Services Department at 205-248-4900 or 311.Official guidance
Who is eligible for Tuscaloosa garbage collection?+
City garbage service is mandatory for single-family residential premises inside the corporate city limits and is set up with water and sewer service, and the monthly garbage fee is billed on the city water bill. Multi-family and non-residential premises may be eligible; if they are not, they have to contract with a licensed commercial waste hauler for private dumpster service. Residential customers are not charged for trash and recycling collection.Official guidance
