White goods are collected citywide, but the owner has to call ahead and any refrigerant must be professionally removed first.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no white goods fee on its pages, so call Public Works at 337-491-1220 to schedule the pickup and confirm any charge.
When & how
Call 337-491-1220 ahead of time, and set the unit out when the city says the citywide white goods collection reaches the address.
Get it ready
Have any refrigerant professionally removed first, empty the unit of perishable food, and remove the doors or lids or tape them shut, because white goods still holding refrigerant are not eligible for collection.
Garbage is bagged inside the city container and collected weekly
Garbage is the city's term for all solid or semi-solid kitchen refuse subject to decay along with its packaging, and the ordinance also counts waste paper, debris and rubbish normally produced in a household as garbage. All garbage belongs in plastic bags inside the city-provided ninety-eight-gallon container, and specific pickup questions go to Public Works at 337-491-1220.
Trash is everything that will not fit the container, and white goods need a call
Trash is any refuse other than garbage and includes furniture, bedding, debris and rubbish normally produced in a household that will not fit in the ninety-eight-gallon container, and the city collects trash and yard waste from residences at least twice a month. White goods are picked up too, but the owner has to call ahead to 337-491-1220, items must be free of perishable food with doors or lids removed or taped shut, and any refrigerant must be professionally removed before collection.
Building materials, tires and hazardous waste stay off the curb
Under the city ordinance, building materials such as roofing, concrete, plaster, wallpaper, earth and trees from construction, repair or remodeling on private property are not collected and the owner must have them privately removed. Tires and automobile parts are not collected from residences and go to a dealer licensed by the Department of Environmental Quality, hazardous waste such as toxic materials, paint and medical waste needs a commercial hauler because the city is not authorized or equipped to handle it, and contracted tree removal debris is not eligible for the yard waste route.
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.

Schedule a white goods pickup
A household with a refrigerator, washer, dryer or other appliance that needs to leave the property.

Arrange it
Call 337-491-1220 ahead of time, have the refrigerant professionally removed from any cooling appliance, and set the unit out free of perishable food with the doors or lids removed or taped shut.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Lake Charles.
How much does appliance removal cost in Lake Charles?+
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 Lake Charles?+
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 Lake Charles appliances collected?+
Household appliances, or white goods, are picked up when the city runs its citywide white goods collection, but the owner must call ahead first at 337-491-1220. Items have to be free of perishable food with doors or lids removed or taped shut, and white goods that still contain refrigerant are not eligible until the refrigerant is professionally removed first.Official guidance
Who collects garbage in Lake Charles?+
The City of Lake Charles Solid Waste Division does, through Public Works at 337-491-1220, with once-a-week garbage container collection, trash and yard waste from residences at least twice a month, and white goods pickup when scheduled. Garbage belongs in plastic bags inside the city-provided ninety-eight-gallon container, and trash is the refuse that will not fit in it, including furniture and bedding.Official guidance
