Non-freon appliances are named on the city's bulk item list, so a washer, dryer, stove or similar unit goes out on a scheduled bulk collection.
City cost & eligibility
A non-freon appliance is part of the city bulk service and no appliance fee is published, so confirm the unit and any charge through 311 or at 260-427-8311 when the collection is scheduled. A unit that still holds refrigerant cannot go out this way.
When & how
Schedule the bulk collection at least two business days before the garbage day through 311 and set the unit three feet from the cart.
Get it ready
Confirm the unit does not hold refrigerant before setting it out, because freon appliances are refused, and keep appliances out of the recycling cart.
Freon appliances such as refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, water coolers and dehumidifiers are refused as bulk items, and the city only refers residents to the EPA about removing the freon.
City cost & eligibility
No city rate is published for a freon appliance, because the city refuses it as a bulk item and refers readers to the EPA about removing freon, so confirm the route and any charge through 311, at 260-427-8311, or with the Allen County Department of Environmental Management.
When & how
Confirm the route before the unit leaves the property, and do not set it out as bulk trash.
Get it ready
Keep the unit out of the bulk pile and out of every cart, and note that dumping freon is harmful to the environment, so any evacuation has to be done properly before the unit can move as a non-freon appliance.
Bulk trash needs to be scheduled at least two business days before the garbage day through 311, and the city's examples are scheduling by Monday for a Wednesday collection and by Friday for a Tuesday collection. Keep the load to furniture, mattresses and box springs, and non-freon appliances, wrap any mattress or box spring completely in plastic, and place the items at least three feet from the garbage cart so the truck arms do not catch on them.
Yard waste other than leaves can go in the city cart, grass clippings can be bagged in plastic or brown biodegradable bags up to 35 lbs, and branches have to be cut down to fit inside the cart or taken bundled to the Biosolids Facility at 6202 Lake Avenue, which is also where spring leaf clean-up leaves go because leaves cannot go in the garbage cart. Household hazardous material goes to the Allen County facility, which is open to county residents on Tuesdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. plus the Tox Saturday on October 10, 2026, takes cash or check only, refuses electronics, and requires items in a box or tote rather than a garbage bag.
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.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Fort Wayne.
How much does appliance removal cost in Fort Wayne?+
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 Fort Wayne?+
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.
Which Fort Wayne appliances can go out as bulk?+
The city's bulk list names non-freon appliances, so a washer, dryer, stove or similar unit can go out on a bulk collection scheduled at least two business days ahead of the garbage day through 311. Freon appliances such as refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, water coolers and dehumidifiers are refused, and the city directs residents to the EPA with questions about removing freon from an older appliance.Official guidance
Can a Fort Wayne refrigerator go out as bulk trash?+
No. The city's bulk page lists freon appliances such as refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, water coolers and dehumidifiers as unacceptable, and it says dumping freon is harmful to the environment while directing readers to the EPA with questions about removing freon from older appliances. Confirm the route through 311 or at 260-427-8311, and never set a cooling appliance out as bulk trash.Official guidance
What does Fort Wayne charge for trash and large item disposal?+
Residential garbage collection is published as a monthly rate for a single family household, a higher monthly rate for a multi-family unit and a separate monthly charge for each extra cart, and the scheduled bulk collection is part of that service with no separate fee published. Electronics go to verified recyclers or county events, whose prices are not published on the county page, and household hazardous waste goes to the county facility, which takes cash or check only and does not publish a fee schedule. Dropcurb prices its own pickup separately and shows the total at checkout.Official guidance
What can go out as a Fort Wayne bulk item?+
The bulk list is furniture, mattresses and box springs, and non-freon appliances, and nothing is collected without scheduling at least two business days before the garbage day through 311. A mattress or box spring has to be completely wrapped in plastic, and items go at least three feet from the garbage cart so the truck arms do not catch. Tires, batteries, concrete and freon appliances such as refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, water coolers and dehumidifiers are all refused.Official guidance
