Stoves, washing machines and water tanks are named bulk pickups, and scrap metal yards take the machines the curbside service will not. Every appliance needs its doors removed, and anything that holds refrigerant needs licensed removal and a tag first, which is what separates this group from the refrigerant units.
City cost & eligibility
The appliance route has no published per-item price, because it rides the contracted collection, and the county Appliance and Scrap Metal Collections are free. Scrap yards and the county appointment events set their own terms, so confirm the exact machine and any charge before it leaves the house.
When & how
Use the weekly bulk pickup on your regular trash day, take the machine to a county Appliance and Scrap Metal Collection when one is scheduled, or bring it to Franklin Iron and Metal at 120 South Ave. in Battle Creek, which is the local scrap metal yard.
Get it ready
Remove the doors from every appliance before it goes to the curb, which the hauler names as a condition. Keep the machine in working order for a resale or donation route where that is possible, and settle the refrigerant question before the unit moves, because a sealed unit cannot ride the bulk truck.
A unit holding refrigerant cannot simply go out. The hauler requires the refrigerant to be removed by a licensed technician and the unit tagged before pickup, and the cleanup weeks refuse refrigerant appliances outright, so licensed removal is the step that opens the route.
City cost & eligibility
$30 per unit for licensed refrigerant removal at Reliable Refrigeration, with Ted's Appliance at the same rate and unit pickup available by arrangement. Households with a refrigerator, freezer, air conditioner, dehumidifier or water cooler. Once the unit is tagged, the curbside bulk collection takes it, and the county Appliance and Scrap Metal Collections have taken refrigerant units at some sites but not others, so confirm the next event before loading.
When & how
Call Reliable Refrigeration at 199 Capital Ave. SW on 269-962-1215 or Ted's Appliance at 514 W. Columbia Ave. on 269-963-0607 to have the refrigerant removed and the unit tagged, then put the tagged unit at the curb by 6 a.m. on your regular trash day. County collection dates are the alternative when a site is accepting refrigerant units.
Get it ready
Leave the refrigerant sealed and let the licensed technician handle it, then keep the tag on the unit until it is collected, because the hauler states that an untagged unit will not be picked up. The cleanup weeks and the Electronics and Polystyrene event both refuse large appliances with refrigerant, so neither is a shortcut.
Battle Creek asks for garbage, recycling, bulk items and yard waste at the curb by 6 a.m. on the collection day, and the bins can go out after 1 p.m. the day before. Bins come back in by 9 a.m. the day after pickup and may not be stored in the front yard, under ordinances 1064.23, 1064.26 and 1064.27. No container may weigh more than 50 pounds or be longer than 4 feet, and needles, oil, paint, turpentine and batteries never go in a container. Trash, recycling, bulk items and yard waste can arrive on different trucks at different times, so an early truck is not a missed pickup.
Bulk items are weekly, and two conditions decide them
The bulk item collection runs weekly on your regular trash day, and the whole list depends on two conditions. First, the item has to be safely liftable at the curb. Second, an appliance needs its doors removed, and a refrigerator or air conditioner needs its refrigerant removed by a licensed technician who tags the unit, because the hauler states that an untagged unit will not be picked up. A wrapped mattress and dry household furniture meet the test as they are.
The spring cleanup runs the week of May 18 to 22, 2026 and the fall cleanup runs the week of September 14 to 18, 2026. Material is bagged and placed neatly at the curb for collection on your regular trash day during that week, and the cleanup is open only to homes inside the City of Battle Creek. The accepted list adds household doors and windows, carpet and bundled brush, toys, packaging and miscellaneous junk to the usual furniture and wrapped mattresses. Refrigerant appliances, electronics, televisions, tires, batteries, oil, chemicals, concrete, shingles and iron or cast iron bathtubs are turned away, and trailers are not allowed.
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.
Republic Services under contract with the City of Battle Creek, with Calhoun County Recycling and Solid Waste
Use the weekly bulk item collection
A household with a mattress, box spring, couch, table or another bulky piece that can be lifted safely at the curb.
Cost & conditions
The weekly bulk collection is part of the contracted residential service and no per-item charge is published, so confirm the current rate and the account terms with Republic Services at 269-216-8008.
Arrange it
Put the items at the curb by 6 a.m. on your regular trash day. Bulk items are collected weekly on that day and may arrive on a different truck from the trash, recycling and yard waste routes.
Items have to be safely liftable at the curb, containers may not exceed 50 pounds or 4 feet, and construction and demolition material, tires, roof shingles, electronics, televisions, batteries, oil, paint and chemicals are refused. An appliance needs its doors removed, and a refrigerant unit needs licensed removal and a tag before it will be taken.
Republic Services under contract with the City of Battle Creek, with Calhoun County Recycling and Solid Waste
Use the free Calhoun County collection events
A household with electronics, a television, an appliance, scrap metal or household chemicals that the curbside service refuses.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Calhoun County holds free recycling collection events for residential material from county residents, who stay in their vehicles while dropping off. Household hazardous waste, appliance, electronics and scrap metal collections are all free.
Arrange it
Watch the county event calendar, which has used Bailey Park at 1350 Capital Ave. NE in Battle Creek for a combined household hazardous waste, appliance, electronics and scrap metal collection, and the Calhoun County Fairgrounds at 720 Fair St. in Marshall for hazardous waste. Scrap tire collections run in Marshall and Tekonsha with a 10 tire limit and no rims.
Events are residential only, and the appliance terms change between sites: one Battle Creek site took refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers and water coolers, while a later Albion event refused refrigerant units entirely. Hazardous waste collections exclude trash, tires, yard waste, construction and demolition waste and appliances, so each material needs its own event.
Scrap metal from households, including the appliances and metal goods the county guide lists for scrap. Items without refrigerant, or items tagged to show the refrigerant has been removed, can be brought to a scrap metal yard.
Confirm the item with the yard before loading, because the county guide lists this business under both scrap metal and electronics without an item list. Refrigerant units need licensed removal and a tag before a scrap yard takes them, and the county guide asks residents to call the yard first.
Call 269-968-6111 before bringing a load, since the guide warns that listings change.
The county guide publishes no scale price for this yard, so confirm the material and any deduction with the yard on 269-968-6111 before loading a load.
Refrigerant removal for household appliances so the unit can be tagged and then collected or taken to a scrap yard. Ted's Appliance at 514 W. Columbia Ave. on 269-963-0607 is the other listed service.
This is a repair and service counter rather than a disposal site, so the appliance still has to leave the premises afterwards with its tag, and an untagged unit will not be collected at the curb.
Call 269-962-1215 before arriving, and ask for unit pickup pricing if the appliance cannot be moved.
$30 per unit for licensed refrigerant removal, with Ted's Appliance listed at the same rate and unit pickup available by arrangement. Households with an appliance that holds refrigerant, including refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers and water coolers. The tag from the removal is what lets the unit ride the curbside bulk collection.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Battle Creek.
How much does appliance removal cost in Battle Creek?+
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 Battle Creek?+
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.
Does bulk pickup take a washer or dryer?+
Yes, with the doors removed. The partnership bulk page lists stoves, refrigerators, water tanks, washing machines and furniture among the accepted bulk items and states that every appliance must have its doors removed. The county Appliance and Scrap Metal Collections also take washers, dryers, dishwashers and stoves, and Franklin Iron and Metal at 120 South Ave. is the local scrap metal yard for the machines that are pure metal.Official guidance
How do I get rid of a refrigerator in Battle Creek?+
