Does Habitat for Humanity pick up appliances?

Yes, but the answer depends on the local Habitat ReStore. Greater Albuquerque lists refrigerators, washers and dryers among accepted appliances and offers approved local large-item pickup. Twin Cities accepts refrigerators, washers and dryers that are 10 years old or newer, while Central Arizona uses an 8-years-or-newer rule and requires appliances to be clean and fully working. Confirm the local ReStore’s current requirements, pickup approval and access before relying on donation pickup.

What to confirm before requesting pickup

Have the appliance’s working condition, model or date information, dimensions and photos ready. Ask the local ReStore to confirm that the item qualifies and that its pickup route can reach the property safely.

Refrigerant work and gas, electrical or plumbing disconnection should be handled appropriately before removal. Do not attempt unfamiliar disconnection work yourself.

A practical option for accepted appliances that are already outside

If a local ReStore declines an accepted refrigerator, washing machine or dryer, Dropcurb can handle loading, transport and disposal when the item is outside and accessible. Dropcurb does not provide indoor carry-out, so arrange a service that includes that labor if you cannot move the appliance outside safely.

Review appliance pickup preparation before booking the refused item.

Frequently asked questions

Does appliance donation include disconnection?

Confirm this with the specific Habitat ReStore before scheduling. Refrigerant work and gas, electrical or plumbing disconnection must be handled appropriately before removal, so arrange a qualified service when needed rather than attempting unfamiliar work yourself.
