Who picks up old washers and dryers for free?

For working appliances, ask the Greater Albuquerque ReStore whether both units meet its approval requirements and whether local pickup is available.

If you are replacing the appliances, ask whether your Costco order qualifies for one-for-one haul-away. The old units need to be ready when the replacement is delivered, and installed or commercial items may be excluded.

For a scrap or municipal option, identify the exact facility or program and confirm that it accepts your washer and dryer, whether household pickup is offered, and what conditions apply. SA Recycling lists metal household appliances, but household pickup is not guaranteed and material values can change.

For a replacement bought at Costco, check the Costco appliance haul-away conditions on the actual order.

For working machines, compare washer-and-dryer donation pickup requirements.

Tell the pickup provider that you have two separate units. If a gas connection is involved, arrange professional disconnection and ask the provider to confirm the exact scope and fee before committing.

If the free routes are unavailable or unsuitable, Dropcurb handles loading, transport and disposal for accepted washing machines and dryers that are outside and accessible. A washing machine and dryer are selected as separate items, and current pricing is shown before booking. If you need someone to carry the appliances out from indoors, use a service that includes indoor carrying.
