A curbside appliance takes a seven sticker set and has to be scheduled by telephone before it is put out, with refrigerators and freezers going out with the doors removed. The free scrap appliance and metal drop-off events take appliances without any sticker, and appliances are refused at Spring Cleanup and at the Grimes hazardous waste site.
City cost & eligibility
$35 for the published seven sticker set for a curbside appliance, being seven stickers of the same mid range denomination. Used curbside only after scheduling the pickup on the authority line, which the published chart requires for appliances such as fridges or freezers of any size with the doors removed, washers, dryers, microwaves and water heaters. The free city drop-off events on the two published dates are a separate route with no sticker.
When & how
Call the authority to schedule the curbside appliance pickup before setting the unit out, or take it to the free scrap appliance and metal drop-off event on its published date between 8 AM and noon at Public Services East.
Get it ready
Remove the doors from a refrigerator or freezer, and drain the fuel and oil from anything engine driven. Keep appliances out of a Spring Cleanup pile and away from the Grimes hazardous waste site, because both refuse them, and empty any food from a freezer or refrigerator before the drop-off event, since food is refused there.
Oversize items and extra trash go out with the Metro Waste Authority sticker attached, and the number of stickers rises with the item: one for a bag or box of trash under thirty pounds, one for a small television, one for a couch, love seat, desk, table, up to four kitchen chairs, a toilet base or tank, a window or a twin mattress, two for a queen or king mattress or box spring, and seven for a curbside appliance. Keep extra items at least six feet from the garbage cart, and call the authority to schedule an appliance pickup before it goes out.
Spring Cleanup takes one truckload, on the normal garbage day
Spring Cleanup is free to households that receive city collection, runs in the published collection week in the first days of June, and takes household items that do not fit the cart, including couches, end tables, mattresses, televisions, monitors, fans, lamps, grills with the propane tank removed, and carpet rolled and secured to no more than four feet by eighteen inches. The whole pile has to fit in the bed of one standard pickup truck or it is all left behind, every item has to be light enough for two people to lift safely, and items go out no earlier than 5:00 pm the night before and no later than 6:00 am on the collection day. Appliances, construction material, tires, glass, bagged or boxed items, propane tanks and hazardous material are all refused.
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.

Use a large item sticker at the curb
A West Des Moines household with furniture, a mattress, a small television, extra trash or an appliance to clear on the normal collection day.
Cost & conditions
From $1 for the smallest published large and extra item sticker, with the item counts rising to a seven sticker set for a curbside appliance. Available on the published terms for communities in the programme, with stickers bought online for delivery or at grocery and hardware store service desks and city halls. The number of stickers depends on the community, so the city directs residents to the authority to check their own requirement.
Arrange it
Buy the stickers, attach them to the items, set the material out on the normal collection day at least six feet from the garbage cart, and call the authority to schedule an appliance pickup before an appliance goes out.
The sticker programme covers what the chart lists, so household garbage inside the cart is separate and construction material, tires and hazardous material are not part of it at all. An appliance has to be scheduled by telephone first, and televisions need the count confirmed because the published figures differ by screen size.

Take appliances, metal and electronics to the free drop-off event
A West Des Moines household with an appliance, scrap metal, a computer or exercise equipment that the regular trash cycle will not take.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Free drop-off for West Des Moines residents on the published event dates, for household appliances and scrap metal that are not typically collected in regular trash cycles. Televisions, monitors, chemicals, paint, wood, plastics, light bulbs, garbage and anything containing food are refused.
Arrange it
Bring the load to Public Services East, 560 S. 16th Street, between 8 AM and noon on a published drop-off date. Appliances, computers, metal items and exercise equipment are all on the accepted list.
The event refuses televisions and monitors, which have their own routes, and it refuses anything from a business, so it is a residential drop-off only. Food must be emptied from a freezer or refrigerator before the event.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in West Des Moines.
How much does appliance removal cost in West Des Moines?+
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 West Des Moines?+
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.
How do I get rid of an appliance in West Des Moines?+
Either take it to one of the free scrap appliance and metal drop-off events, or pay the seven sticker set for a curbside pickup and schedule that pickup by telephone first, removing the doors from a refrigerator or freezer. Appliances are refused at Spring Cleanup and are not accepted at the Grimes hazardous waste site, so those two routes are not options. The free drop-off events run from 8 AM to noon at Public Services East on their published dates, and they refuse anything containing food.Official guidance
How do West Des Moines large item pickups work?+
Oversize items go out on the normal collection day with a Metro Waste Authority sticker attached, at least six feet from the garbage cart, and the sticker count rises with the item. One sticker covers a bag of trash, a small television, a couch, a desk, a table, up to four kitchen chairs, a toilet part, a window or a twin mattress; a queen or king mattress or box spring takes two; and a curbside appliance takes seven and has to be scheduled by telephone before it goes out. The alternative is to hold large household items for the free Spring Cleanup week, where everything must fit in one pickup truck bed.Official guidance
Where do West Des Moines appliances and televisions go?+
Appliances go to the free scrap appliance and metal drop off events at Public Services East between 8 AM and noon on the published dates, or to the curb with a seven sticker set after scheduling the pickup by telephone, with the doors removed from a fridge or freezer. Televisions and monitors are refused at those events, so they go free to Spring Cleanup or to the curb with a sticker whose count depends on the screen size. Other electronics, including computers, printers, DVD players, game systems and cell phones, are on the free drop off list.Official guidance
