Do you pick up refrigerators?

We pick up refrigerators that have been properly disconnected and defrosted. Place at the curb with doors taped shut. Freon-containing units require the $25 appliance recycling fee.

Do I need to disconnect the appliance?

Yes. Please disconnect from all power, water, and gas lines before placing at the curb. Our haulers handle curbside pickup only — no disconnection services.

Can you pick up a washer and dryer together?

Yes. Book both items together — first appliance is $104, second is +$54. Total for a washer/dryer set: $158.

Do I need to remove the Freon from my refrigerator first?

No. Our recycling partners handle Freon recovery at their certified facilities — that's what the $25 appliance recycling fee covers. Just disconnect power, defrost, tape the doors shut, and place at the curb.

Will the delivery crew take my old appliance when they deliver the new one?

That's between you and the retailer — Home Depot, Lowe's, and Best Buy sometimes offer haul-away with delivery (free–$50). If they won't take it or you missed that window, Dropcurb picks it up same-day for $104. Just disconnect and curb it.

Appliance Recycling in Kokomo, Indiana

Starting at $79. Additional items from $19.

Getting rid of an old refrigerator, washer, dryer, or stove comes down to five options: city bulk pickup (free but restricted), retailer haul-away (free–$50 with a new purchase), self-haul to a recycling center ($30–80), curbside pickup through Dropcurb ($104, same day), or traditional junk removal ($200–600+). Appliance disposal is more regulated than furniture because of refrigerants, oils, and heavy metals.

What happens to your appliance after pickup

Appliances are recycled at licensed facilities that specialize in handling refrigerants, compressor oils, and heavy metals. Refrigerators and freezers undergo certified Freon recovery before processing — the $25 recycling fee covers this. Steel, copper, aluminum, and other metals are separated and sent to scrap processors. Compressors, motors, and wiring are individually processed. Appliances in working condition may be refurbished and resold or donated to organizations like Habitat for Humanity ReStore.
