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.

Special rules apply

A fridge needs a confirmed appliance route, not an assumption that all large trash is accepted.

City cost & eligibility
Confirm collection, preparation and the total with the responsible provider.
When & how
Ask your ward office or building’s hauler about the exact model before arranging set-out.
Get it ready
Illinois requires appropriate handling of refrigerants and other regulated appliance components. Do not dismantle cooling lines to prepare an item for collection.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

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

How much does appliance removal cost in Chicago?

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 Chicago?

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.

Can I assume Chicago ordinary trash collection will take my refrigerator?

No. Confirm the exact appliance with your ward or building collector before set-out. Illinois requires appropriate handling of regulated components, so do not dismantle refrigerant lines yourself.

Official guidance

Which used appliances can ReStore Chicago accept?

Complete, working refrigerators, stoves, washers and dryers may qualify up to ten years old. Microwaves have a five-year limit and dishwashers a three-year limit. Staff approval and current stock still apply.

Official guidance

Can a broken Chicago refrigerator go to ReStore as a donation?

No. ReStore requires appliances to work and have all knobs and parts. For a broken unit, arrange an appliance removal or recycling service instead.

Official guidance

Can Best Buy remove an appliance when delivering its replacement in Chicago?

Best Buy advertises $49.99 for one eligible major appliance with replacement delivery. Confirm your address and model when ordering. Empty the appliance and arrange disconnection unless the purchased installation covers that work.

Official guidance

Where can I take an approved working appliance donation in Chicago?

ReStore Chicago North receives approved donations at 6040 N. Pulaski Road, Wednesday through Sunday from 11am to 5:30pm. Give staff the type, age and condition before loading it.
