Confirm the item qualifies
Ask whether the exact appliance is accepted, whether it must work, and whether age, cleanliness, rust, damage or completeness affects approval. Policies differ by location: Salvation Army lists working washers, dryers, certain microwaves and air conditioners but excludes malfunctioning, rusty or dirty appliances, gas appliances and built-ins.

Confirm pickup logistics before scheduling
Give the service your ZIP code and ask whether pickup is available, whether the item must be disconnected, whether crews carry it from indoors, how appointments are scheduled, and whether there is a pickup charge. Get written acceptance for the exact item before moving it or relying on a donation receipt. A receipt depends on the direct receiving charity's terms.

Use a disposal pickup when donation rules do not work
If the appliance is not accepted, the local pickup area is unavailable, or the timing and labor requirements do not work, check current pickup pricing for an accepted appliance option. Dropcurb's current catalog separates washing machines, dryers and full-size household refrigerators; mini fridges and commercial refrigerators have separate options.

Where Dropcurb fits
For accepted appliance leftovers already outside and accessible, Dropcurb handles loading, transportation and disposal. Standard pickup covers washing machines, dryers and full-size household refrigerators as defined in the current catalog. You can book before moving an item outside, but it must be outside and accessible before pickup; indoor carry-out is not available. If you need indoor carrying or disconnection, choose a service that includes that labor.

When you need a local alternative
For an appliance in either city, compare Chicago appliance collection and recycling or New York City appliance collection and recycling. Verify the exact appliance and address with the receiving provider; a working washer and a refrigerant appliance may need different arrangements.
