Appliances and white goods

Accepted with preparation

Waste Management collects large household appliances such as refrigerators, washers, dryers, air conditioners and dehumidifiers on the regular weekly collection day, separately and for recycling.

City cost & eligibility
The appliance collection is part of the weekly residential service and the flyer publishes no appliance rate, so confirm the unit and any charge with Waste Management at 815-280-7854. A hot water tank is not taken as regular trash and has to be scheduled as a White Goods pickup, and a water softener is taken as trash once it is drained.
When & how
Set the appliance out on the regular weekly collection day, and schedule a White Goods pickup for a hot water tank rather than putting it out as trash.
Get it ready
Remove the doors from refrigerators and freezers as a safety precaution, drain any water softener of all water or salt before setting it out, and keep appliances out of the recycling cart.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

For bulk items and appliances

Bulk items go out with the regular weekly collection, and the flyer names couches, small tables, mattresses and chairs. Furniture and mattresses must be dry and covered when rain or snow is forecast, carpet must be cut and rolled into four foot lengths secured with tape or string and under 50 lbs per roll, and appliances such as refrigerators, washers, dryers, AC units and dehumidifiers are collected the same week, collected separately, with the doors removed from refrigerators and freezers. A hot water tank is not regular trash and needs a White Goods pickup.

City of Joliet with Waste Management

Put the bulk item out with the weekly pickup

A Joliet household with a couch, a mattress, a chair or another bulk item that the weekly collection can take.

Cost & conditions
Bulk items are collected with the weekly service that is part of the residential contract, and no separate bulky item rate is published, so confirm any oversized piece with Waste Management at 815-280-7854.
Arrange it
Set the items out at the curb by 7 a.m. on the regular collection day, keeping furniture and mattresses dry and covered in wet weather and cutting carpet into four foot rolls.

The weekly cycle does not take large quantities of construction and demolition material, pallets, dirt, stone, concrete, rock, fencing, hazardous waste or electronics, and materials from a flood, fire, move or eviction need a scheduled special collection with fees.

Open the program flyer

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Joliet's program is built around the weekly curb, because Waste Management takes garbage, recycling, yard waste, bulk items and large household appliances all on the same scheduled collection day at different times. Carts go out by 7 a.m. with the handle away from the roadway and three feet apart, and the flyer requires furniture and mattresses to be dry, so anything upholstered needs covering when rain or snow is coming. Appliances such as refrigerators, washers, dryers, AC units and dehumidifiers are collected separately and recycled, with the doors removed from refrigerators and freezers, and a hot water tank has to be scheduled as a White Goods pickup instead of going out as trash. Household hazardous waste, electronics and hard to recycle items go through the At Your Door special collection, which the city says will not collect them from the curb, and the flyer lists the accepted electronics, paint, automotive, battery, garden, pool and mercury items along with the exclusions. Large quantities of construction and demolition material, pallets, dirt, stone, concrete, rock, fencing and material left by a flood, fire, move or eviction are restricted from the weekly cycle, so those loads need a rented container, the city's Bagster route, or a scheduled special collection, while up to four car or small truck tires without rims and no larger than 17 inches can go out on the scheduled recycling day.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

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

How much does appliance removal cost in Joliet?

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 Joliet?

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 are Joliet appliances collected?

Waste Management collects large household appliances such as refrigerators, washers, dryers, AC units and dehumidifiers on the regular weekly collection day, collected separately and recycled, and the flyer asks residents to remove the doors from refrigerators and freezers as a safety precaution. A water softener can go out as trash once drained of all water or salt, but a hot water tank is not taken as regular trash and has to be scheduled as a White Goods pickup with Waste Management at 815-280-7854.Official guidance
