Appliances are named on the city bulk item list, including the refrigerant units that many programmes refuse. A washer, dryer, stove, dishwasher or water heater is priced per unit, a refrigerator or freezer is priced higher, and an air conditioner or dehumidifier is priced higher again, so the price depends on the unit rather than on a single appliance rate.
City cost & eligibility
From $35 for the lowest published appliance price on the city bulk item list, which prices a washer, dryer, stove, dishwasher or water heater at $35 each, a refrigerator or freezer at $40, and an air conditioner or dehumidifier at $45. Lawrence residential buildings with six or fewer housing units on the contracted curbside route, scheduled with Capitol Waste Services on 1-844-377-1718; the annual hazardous waste day also takes air conditioners and microwaves at its own published fee.
When & how
Schedule with Capitol Waste Services on 1-844-377-1718 or online, and the unit is collected on the same day as the address's trash and recycling day. The hazardous waste day at the Department of Public Works yard, on the second and fourth Saturday from May to October, is the alternative for units the city routes there.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and remove food, water and loose parts before it goes out. Keep the appliance out of the 65-gallon container and out of the recycling bin, and note that the city lists lawnmowers with gas and oil drained and gas grills without propane tanks on the same price list, so fluids and tanks have to be dealt with before collection.
One 65-gallon container per unit, with overflow bags for the rest
Each housing unit is allocated a single 65-gallon container that has to be pre-approved by the city, with the contractor as the only provider, and hauling and disposal for that container is free of charge. Trash must be securely bagged inside it with the lid properly closed. Households needing more room can buy marked overflow bags with a 33-gallon capacity in packages of five, or buy an additional container, which only the property owner may purchase and which carries an annual service charge.
Bulk items ride the same day as trash and recycling, but only by appointment
Bulk items such as furniture and mattresses are collected on the same day as the trash and recycling pickup for the address, and scheduling runs through Capitol Waste Services on 1-844-377-1718 or the online booking page. The city's agreement with the hauler makes a number of smaller items free, limited to one per household per week, and prices everything else on the published list, with each additional item priced as well.
The city runs in five sections, so the pickup day depends on the address
Lawrence divides the city into five sections and services each on a different day of the week, so the collection day is a section day rather than one citywide day. The same section day carries the bulk item collection, which is why a scheduled large item and the ordinary bags land on one morning rather than two. Pickup times are not published, so the material has to be out before the round reaches the street.
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.
City of Lawrence Department of Public Works with Capitol Waste Services
Book a priced bulk item pickup with the city hauler
A household inside the curbside service area with a couch, an appliance, a television, an exercise machine, a small remodel load or a stack of clutter.
Cost & conditions
From $25 for the standard per item price on the city bulk item list, which runs from $25 for most items through $35 for a sleeper sofa, stove, washer, dryer, dishwasher or water heater and $40 for a refrigerator, freezer, television or computer monitor to $45 for an air conditioner, dehumidifier or truck tire, with construction material at $50 per yard and a free category of smaller items limited to one per household per week. Lawrence residential buildings with six or fewer housing units on the contracted curbside route, scheduled with Capitol Waste Services on 1-844-377-1718 or through the online booking page.
Arrange it
Call Capitol Waste Services on 1-844-377-1718 or book the pickup online, and the collection lands on the same day as the trash and recycling day for the address. Check the price for each piece on the bulk item list before the pickup, because the total is built item by item.
The service reaches residential buildings with six or fewer units, so businesses, mixed-use properties and buildings with seven or more units arrange private pickup. The free category is limited to one item per household per week, each additional item is priced at $25, and bulky items cannot go in the single stream recycling bin.

Use the hazardous waste recycling day at the Department of Public Works yard
A Lawrence household with paint, chemicals, bulbs, batteries, propane tanks, electronics, oil or antifreeze that cannot go in the trash.

The programme is closed to businesses, and each person taking part needs proof of residency. Latex paint is refused and has to be dried out and put in the regular trash instead.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Lawrence.
How much does appliance removal cost in Lawrence?+
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 Lawrence?+
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 refrigerator or washer in Lawrence?+
Book it as a bulk item with Capitol Waste Services on 1-844-377-1718 or through the online booking page, and it is collected on the same day as the address's trash and recycling day. The city prices appliances individually, with a washer, dryer, stove, dishwasher or water heater at one price and a refrigerator or freezer at a higher one, so check the list for the unit before scheduling.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Lawrence?+
Capitol Waste Services collects under a city contract. The city states that as of November 2022 it contracted with Capitol for residential solid waste, and that Capitol handles collection, hauling and disposal for all residential trash, recycling and yard waste under a multi-year agreement. Capitol can be reached on 1-844-377-1718, and the city Department of Public Works handles billing questions and the container programme on 978-620-3090.Official guidance
Does Lawrence collect from large apartment buildings?+
No. The curbside programme serves residential buildings with six or fewer housing units, so residential buildings with seven or more units, businesses and mixed-use properties including apartment units over a business have to arrange private pickup. Inside the covered buildings, each unit gets one 65-gallon container approved by the city, with hauling and disposal for that container free of charge.Official guidance
How do I get more trash capacity in Lawrence?+
There are two routes. Households can buy marked overflow bags with a 33-gallon capacity in packages of five from the Department of Public Works or from the two named stores, tying them tightly and setting them neatly beside the barrel on pickup day, or they can buy an additional 65-gallon container, which only the property owner may purchase and which carries an annual service charge and has to be surrendered when the property is sold.Official guidance
