Appliances are not on the county large item list, which names mattresses, a couch or sofa, household furniture, yard waste bags and bundled limbs or carpet. The restrictions line puts metal items on a phone call and a scheduled appointment with a minimum charge, and a washer, dryer, stove or water heater is a metal item, so it is an arrangement rather than an automatic curbside pickup.
City cost & eligibility
From $65 for minimum charge for a scheduled metal item pick-up with the Shawnee County Solid Waste Department. Households booking a metal item pick-up by phone at 785.233.4774. The county states that metal items are picked up by calling the office to schedule and that the service carries a minimum charge.
When & how
Call the department at 785.233.4774 to schedule the metal item. An appliance does not ride along on the free weekly large item, so the appointment is what replaces the automatic pickup and it decides the day.
Get it ready
Empty the appliance, remove loose parts, and keep it out of the refuse cart and the recycling cart. Confirm the unit and whether it ever held refrigerant when you call, because that answer decides which route the department gives it.
No local page publishes acceptance for a refrigerant unit. The county keeps the large item answer to mattresses, a couch or sofa, household furniture, yard waste bags and bundled limbs or carpet, and it routes metal items to a scheduled appointment. A refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner is both metal and a sealed refrigerant appliance, so it is a question for the department rather than an assumed acceptance.
City cost & eligibility
No refrigerant appliance rate is published. Call the Shawnee County Solid Waste Department at 785.233.4774 to confirm whether the unit is accepted and what the metal item pick-up costs. The ReStore on NE Gordon St lists appliances among its donations and states that it recycles scrap metal and broken appliances, so it is worth a second call on 785.783.7670, but neither page answers the refrigerant question.
When & how
Call before the unit goes out. Nothing publishes a refrigerant appliance route for Topeka, so the appointment with the department or the ReStore donation desk is what decides the day.
Get it ready
Keep the unit upright and the doors closed, and keep it out of both carts and off the curb until the receiving site confirms the piece. Say when you call whether the unit still holds refrigerant.
Refuse, recycling and the large item are all out by 7 am
The county asks for refuse and recycling at the collection point before 7:00 AM on the service day, and the one allowed large item goes out beside the cart on the same morning. Refuse is collected every week and recycling every other week, on the red or blue week the address lookup resolves. Trucks photograph addresses without carts and do not return before the next scheduled day.
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.
A household with a washer, dryer, stove, water heater, treadmill or another metal item that has to leave.
Cost & conditions
From $65 for minimum charge for a scheduled metal item pick-up with the Shawnee County Solid Waste Department. Households booking a metal item pick-up by phone at 785.233.4774.
Arrange it
Call the Shawnee County Solid Waste Department at 785.233.4774, describe the item and schedule the pickup. Metal items are taken by appointment rather than going out with the regular refuse.
The service carries a minimum charge and is not the free weekly large item. Confirm the unit and whether it ever held refrigerant when you call, because a sealed refrigerant appliance may take a different route.
Donate usable furniture and appliances to the ReStore

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Topeka.
How much does appliance removal cost in Topeka?+
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 Topeka?+
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 do I get rid of a washer, dryer or stove in Topeka?+
Call the Shawnee County Solid Waste Department at 785.233.4774. Appliances are metal items, and the county schedules metal items by phone with a minimum charge rather than taking them as the free weekly large item. A working appliance can also be donated to the ReStore on NE Gordon St, which takes drop-offs Tuesday through Saturday and offers free pickup by appointment.Official guidance
Where do refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners go in Topeka?+
No local page publishes a route for them, so call the Shawnee County Solid Waste Department at 785.233.4774 first. The published large item answer names mattresses, a couch or sofa, household furniture and bundled limbs rather than appliances, and metal items go on a scheduled appointment with a minimum charge. The ReStore on NE Gordon St accepts appliances and recycles scrap metal and broken ones, so it is the other number to try.Official guidance
Who handles trash and large item pickup in Topeka?+
The Shawnee County Solid Waste Department. The department serves the county whose seat is Topeka, supplies the carts, bills the monthly refuse service and runs the weekly large item pickup. The office is at 1515 NW Saline St, Suite 225 in Topeka and the number is 785.233.4774. The City of Topeka programs page routes trash and recycling questions to the same county department.Official guidance
Which items need an appointment instead of going out with the refuse?+
Metal items. The county says metal items are picked up by calling the office at 785.233.4774 to schedule and that the service carries a minimum charge, which sits apart from the free weekly large item covering mattresses, a couch or sofa, household furniture, yard waste bags and bundled limbs or carpet. A washer, dryer, stove, water heater or treadmill is a metal item for this purpose, and so is a refrigerator or air conditioner.Official guidance
