A disconnected washing machine outside a ground-level doorway, with its plug resting on top and a clear path beside it.
Disconnected. Outside. Ready for its next stop.

The old one has a way out

One less loose end before the new one arrives.

A replacement is on its way. A broken washer is taking up space. Or the old fridge is the last thing left before a move. Give that appliance its own pickup plan, with a price you can see and a day you can choose.

Choose the appliance you have

A washer and dryer count as two.

Every appliance has its own catalog choice and price. Add only the items you want taken away, then review the exact total before booking.

Laundry appliances

Front-load and top-load washing machines use the washing machine choice. Add the dryer separately. Contact us about a single combined laundry unit or a stack that still needs separating.

Fridges and freezers

Choose Refrigerator for a full-size household fridge. Mini fridges and separate freezers have their own choices. Contact us first if the model or refrigerant needs checking.

Kitchen appliances

Stoves, dishwashers and microwaves are available in All appliances. Built-in units must already be detached and outside. Send a photo if your appliance does not match a listed choice.

Ready for pickup

Disconnected first. Pickup from outside.

We handle loading and haul-away from your accessible outdoor spot. Arrange any indoor carrying, uninstallation and utility disconnection before pickup.

You can book before the appliance is outside. Plan the disconnection and move first, then have it ready by the time shown for your pickup.

Your place. One easy pickup plan.

A house, a condo or an apartment. Choose an accessible outdoor spot that works for your property. You arrange the move outside; we take it from there.

Text us about your setup
  1. Arrange disconnection

    Have the appliance safely disconnected from power, water and gas, as applicable. Use a qualified professional for gas, hardwired or plumbing connections when needed.

  2. Empty it and arrange outdoor access

  3. Show us the right appliance

    Add a location photo and a note about the entrance or outdoor area. Keep any appliances that are staying separate from the items you booked.

Appliances and white goods

Special rules apply

Appliances are refused on the bulk item list, and the city's own item disposal page renders no readable body, so the route has to be confirmed before the unit leaves the property.

City cost & eligibility
The bulk flyer lists appliances among the unacceptable bulk items and the city's item disposal page publishes no readable content, so confirm the correct appliance route with Republic Services at 618.656.6883 or with the city Public Works office at 618.463.3530.
When & how
Call the hauler or Public Works before the unit goes outside, because an appliance cannot go out on a bulk pickup as the published rules stand.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and keep it out of the recycling and trash carts, because the recycling flyer refuses appliances under its never list, and confirm any refrigerant requirement with the receiving route before collection.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

What the curb cannot take

The bulk flyer refuses appliances, electronic waste and batteries, concrete and construction material, fluorescent light bulbs, tires, yard waste, loose trash or trash in boxes, and lead or oil based paint and varnish. The recycling flyer refuses electronics and batteries, construction waste, yard waste, scrap metal, medical waste and other listed materials in the recycling cart. Confirm a route for any of those with the hauler or the city rather than leaving them at the curb.

For your Dropcurb pickup

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.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Alton's collection is contracted to Republic Services, and the city hosts the hauler flyers that carry the rules. Carts and bulk items both go out by 6 a.m., with carts set five feet clear of anything that could block the automated arm and one foot from the curb. Bulk pickup is the standout: single family homes can schedule up to five items four times a year at no charge through Republic Services at 618.656.6883, and the acceptable list covers carpet, mattress sets, couches, chairs, dressers, tables, desks and the glass portions of doors and windows, each item under 50 pounds, with carpet rolled into bundles no longer than four feet and glass boxed and marked. The flyer refuses appliances, electronic waste and batteries, concrete and construction material, fluorescent bulbs, tires, yard waste and paint, and the recycling cart refuses electronics and batteries, construction waste and yard waste as well. The city page that promises e-waste and hazardous waste information renders no readable content, so those streams have to be confirmed with the hauler or the city Public Works office before anything leaves the property.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Alton.

How much does appliance removal cost in Alton?

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 Alton?

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.

Where do Alton appliances go?

Appliances are on the bulk flyer's unacceptable list, and the city's own item disposal page shows only its heading with no readable body, so the route has to be confirmed rather than assumed. Call Republic Services at 618.656.6883 or the city Public Works office at 618.463.3530 before the unit leaves the property, and keep it out of the recycling and trash carts in the meantime.Official guidance
