You’re in the loop. Until it’s gone.
Confirmation when you book. A heads-up before arrival. Photos when it’s done.
A working appliance can be donated, and a non working unit goes to one of the recyclers that take white goods.
City cost & eligibility
The City publishes no appliance rate because it does not collect, and it directs residents to recyclers that set their own fees, so call ahead for acceptable items and any charge. Confirm the pickup with the hauler as well if the unit is going out with household waste.
When & how
Arrange donation or a recycler drop off rather than a city pickup, since the City runs no collection and no appliance route.
Get it ready
Donate a unit that still works, because the City lists Immigrant Services of Champaign Urbana and Habitat for Humanity ReStore for working appliances. For a unit that does not work, the City names Best Buy, Mack's Twin City Recycling and Mervis Recycling, and it asks residents to call first for acceptable items and fees, since some sites take air conditioners, refrigerators, stoves and dishwashers while others do not.
Champaign's curbside service belongs to licensed private haulers, and the City states that it collects neither trash nor recycling. Anything that will not fit the cart, including furniture, a mattress, an appliance or an exercise machine, is arranged with the hauler on the account rather than reported to the City.
The City's directory leads with donation for anything still in working order. Furniture and reusable household items go to Immigrant Services of Champaign Urbana, Goodwill or Habitat for Humanity ReStore, mattresses and box springs in good condition can be picked up by Immigrant Services or Empty Tomb, and working appliances go to Immigrant Services or ReStore.
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.
Any Champaign household or building that needs trash service, and the route for furniture, mattresses, appliances and other items the cart will not take.
Cost & conditions
Haulers set their own rates because the City provides no collection, so confirm the cart size, the collection day, the bulky item terms and the amount directly with the hauler. Curbside recycling is included with the trash service at no extra cost for buildings of four units or fewer.
Arrange it
Choose a licensed hauler, set up the account, and ask the same company about the oversized item rather than treating it as a separate municipal service.
The City does not regulate collection hours, and the hauler's rules decide what is picked up at the curb, so an item the hauler will not take needs one of the donation, receiving site or collection event routes instead.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Champaign.
How much does appliance removal cost in Champaign?+
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 Champaign?+
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 does an appliance go?+
Donate it if it still works. The City lists Immigrant Services of Champaign Urbana and Habitat for Humanity ReStore for working appliances, and for a non working unit it names Best Buy, Mack's Twin City Recycling and Mervis Recycling, with a note to call first for acceptable items and fees.Official guidance
Who handles waste collection in Champaign?+
Licensed private haulers, because the City does not collect trash or recycling at all. Public Works on 217-403-4700 runs the recycling requirements, the multifamily program and the seasonal yard waste collections, while the hauler on the account handles the carts and anything arranged as an extra pickup.Official guidance
Do the free collections cover my address?+
The yard waste collections, the holiday tree collection and the multifamily program apply to residential properties inside the Champaign city limits. Recycling through the hauler is required for buildings of up to four units inside the city, while an address outside the city limits sits in a different jurisdiction.Official guidance
What does it cost to get rid of a large item?+
That depends on the route rather than on a city rate. Donation is free through the outlets the City lists, the hauler charges whatever its own bulky item terms provide, a mattress drop off at the Republic Services transfer station carries a fee, and construction and demolition material at GFL starts from a published minimum charge.Official guidance
Is there a permanent hazardous waste drop off?+
No. The City states there is no permanent local drop off for residents, and the annual state sponsored collection event in the summer is described as the only local option, with registration required and help available on 217-403-4780. The current events accept only oil based paints and stains.Official guidance
Where do tires and motor oil go?+
Neither has a standing city drop off. Tires depend on occasional county collection events or a tire retailer, and some businesses will only take them when new tires are bought there. Motor oil and gasoline are accepted occasionally by auto parts stores and oil change shops, with the state collection events as the fallback.Official guidance
