Does Goodwill pick up refrigerators?

Confirm acceptance before arranging a pickup

Identify the regional Goodwill and ask specifically about a refrigerator, its model and working condition. Northern New England offers no home pickup, so a working appliance there does not solve the transport issue. Confirm an actual receiving destination before paying to move the unit.

If the local Goodwill refuses it, check refrigerator donation recipients and their pickup requirements.

When Dropcurb fits

Dropcurb fits when you have an accepted full-size household refrigerator that is disconnected safely, outside and accessible before pickup. Dropcurb handles loading, transportation and disposal; indoor carry-out is not available, so you need a service that includes indoor carrying if you cannot move the refrigerator outside yourself.

Frequently asked questions

Does a working refrigerator qualify for Goodwill pickup?

Not necessarily. Working condition does not establish nationwide Goodwill acceptance or home pickup. Regional policies may exclude refrigerators and other large appliances, so confirm with the specific local organization before arranging transport.
