An appliance leaves on the household's hauler account, and a metal shell or frame can also go free to the Quail Street Recycling Center, which accepts scrap metal. The city publishes no appliance rate.
City cost & eligibility
There is no city rate because there is no city service. Confirm the appliance with the chosen hauler, or use the free Quail Street Recycling Center for the scrap metal portion of the load. The city's hauler list is published without endorsement, so compare companies before choosing.
When & how
Quail Street Recycling Center accepts drop-offs including scrap metal, and the hauler collects on its own schedule once the pickup is booked.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and tape the doors shut before it moves, keep it out of the recycling cart, and separate any loose metal so it can go to the free drop-off rather than into a paid load.
A cooling appliance has no published city route either. It has to be arranged with the household's hauler, and the refrigerant handling is what makes the unit different from an ordinary appliance.
City cost & eligibility
No city or county page publishes a refrigerator or air conditioner rate for Lakewood, so confirm with the hauler what it charges for a cooling unit and how the refrigerant is handled. The Rooney Road Recycling Center publishes free paint, battery and oil routes rather than appliance service.
When & how
Confirm with the hauler before the unit is moved, and keep it on the property until the pickup is booked.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and secure the doors, and tell the hauler that it holds refrigerant so the correct handling and price apply. Do not put a cooling appliance in any curbside recycling stream.
Lakewood does not collect and does not contract for you
The city states that it does not contract with haulers on behalf of residents and does not provide collection as a utility. Residents, business owners and property managers arrange service directly with the hauler of their choosing, starting with any homeowners association that may already hold a neighborhood contract, and apartment residents go through the property manager. Issues with service go to the hauler or the HOA rather than to the city.
Two shared drop offs take the items a hauler will not
The Quail Street Recycling Center at 1068 Quail St. takes sorted, clean, dry cardboard, scrap metal, aluminium beverage cans, paper, glass bottles and jars and plastic bottles free of charge, with cardboard cut to a maximum of 3 feet by 5 feet, the load limited to a standard car or small pickup and no trailers allowed. Electronics, paint, batteries, motor oil and antifreeze go to the Rooney Road Recycling Center in Jefferson County by appointment, where paint is free through PaintCare and electronics are charged by the pound.
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.
Hire a licensed hauler for collection and bulky items
Any Lakewood household that needs weekly collection plus the extra or bulky pickups the city does not provide.
Cost & conditions
Every rate comes from the company, because the city neither provides the service nor negotiates for residents. The city's licensed hauler master list gives the companies and phone numbers with columns for residential, roll-off, recycling and compost or yard waste, and it is published without endorsement, so compare and confirm before signing up.
Arrange it
Check with any homeowners association first, otherwise contact a company from the licensed list, and confirm the weekly service, the bulky item terms and the price for the address.
The city does not back the contract, service issues go to the hauler or HOA, containers may not sit at the curb more than 48 consecutive hours per week, and e-waste and hazardous waste are barred from the recycling cart.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Lakewood.
How much does appliance removal cost in Lakewood?+
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 Lakewood?+
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.
Can I drop an appliance part for free in Lakewood?+
The Quail Street Recycling Center accepts scrap metal free of charge along with sorted clean cardboard, aluminium cans, paper, glass and plastic bottles, and it is open to everyone. It is a drop off rather than a pickup service, the load has to fit a standard car or small pickup, and trailers are not allowed, so confirm the item with the centre before loading metal.Official guidance
Where does a refrigerator go in Lakewood?+
On the household's own hauler account, because Lakewood runs no collection and publishes no cooling appliance route. Confirm the unit, the refrigerant handling and the price with the hauler directly, and keep it out of the recycling cart.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Lakewood?+
A private hauler the household hires. The city states that it does not contract with haulers on behalf of residents and does not provide collection as a utility, so a resident checks with any homeowners association first and otherwise chooses a company from the city's licensed hauler master list, which lists the companies, phone numbers and the services each one offers.Official guidance
What can I drop off for free in Lakewood?+
At the Quail Street Recycling Center, sorted clean and dry cardboard, scrap metal, aluminium cans, paper, glass bottles and jars and plastic bottles are free and open to everyone, with no trailers and loads limited to a car or small pickup. Paint is also free at the Rooney Road Recycling Center through PaintCare, with a drop-off appointment and a limit of five gallon containers and 200 gallons per visit.Official guidance
What about apartment and condo residents?+
Apartment residents contact the property manager for waste diversion options, and if the complex does not offer recycling the city points them to the Quail Street Recycling Center for their recyclables. The same licensed hauler list covers multi-family service for complexes that arrange their own collection.Official guidance
