Appliances go to the Materials Recovery Center at a per piece price, with one useful wrinkle: the first microwave is recycled free every day. Minnesota Power adds a separate reward for refrigerator and freezer recycling, so a household retiring a working fridge has two programmes to compare rather than one.
City cost & eligibility
$5 per major household appliance at the Materials Recovery Center, with one microwave recycled free each day and additional microwaves charged at the same per piece rate. Any household delivering an appliance during Materials Recovery Center hours, with cash, check, Visa, Mastercard or Discover accepted; Minnesota Power pays a $25 reward to its residential customers who recycle a refrigerator or freezer through its own programme.
When & how
Take the appliance to the Materials Recovery Center at 4587 Ridgeview Rd., open Wednesday through Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and closed Sunday through Tuesday, and pay at the gatehouse. For a refrigerator or freezer, compare the centre's per piece fee with the Minnesota Power reward programme before deciding which route to use.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and remove food, water and loose parts before loading, and tie or brace the doors so nothing can swing open in transit. Keep the appliance out of the household garbage and yard waste streams, which the centre refuses, and note that a business limit applies at the centre and appliance retailers or repair shops are not eligible for the residential service.
The city does not collect household trash or recycling, and it publishes no curbside large item pickup. Residents contract a waste hauler, and most haulers in the region offer single stream recycling, so all recyclables can go in one bin with no separation. The regional authority still requires residents to keep aluminum, steel and tin containers, glass containers, magazines, newspaper, plastic containers, paper and corrugated cardboard separated for recycling within that stream.
The Materials Recovery Center on Ridgeview Road is the site for furniture, household junk, construction debris, mattresses, appliances, electronics, tires, scrap metal and recyclables. The Household Hazardous Waste Facility on Courtland Street takes paint, chemicals, batteries, bulbs and sharps free from Minnesota households. The Yard Waste Compost Site on the same Courtland Street site takes leaves, grass and garden plants free and charges by the yard for brush, logs, dirt and sod.
The Materials Recovery Center is self service, so the household unloads its own material. Visitors stop first at the gatehouse, where staff assess each load and calculate the fee, and then drive to the appropriate station for recycling, reuse or disposal. The Reuse Area opens only to people who have items to drop off, and it closes thirty minutes before the centre itself closes.
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.
Western Lake Superior Sanitary District, with curbside service from private haulers
Drop the load at the Materials Recovery Center
A household with furniture, household junk, a mattress, an appliance, electronics, construction or demolition material, tires or scrap metal to clear.
Cost & conditions
From $24 for a load at the Materials Recovery Center, where mixed waste covering household junk, broken furniture, old carpeting and construction material is billed at $24 per cubic yard and rises to $30 per cubic yard on October 1, 2026, pallets and clean wood at $10 per cubic yard, mattresses and box springs at $25 each, appliances and additional microwaves at $5 each with one microwave free daily, tires at $4 each after four free passenger or pickup tires daily, and electronics from free small items through $2, $9, $12 and $15 by device and screen size. Households and small commercial customers delivering their own loads during Materials Recovery Center hours, with cash, check, Visa, Mastercard or Discover accepted and the fee calculated at the gatehouse.
Arrange it
Drive to 4587 Ridgeview Rd. on a Wednesday through Saturday between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., stop at the gatehouse to have the load assessed and priced, then unload at the stations for each stream. The site is closed Sunday through Tuesday and on the listed holidays.
The site does not accept household garbage, household hazardous waste, or leaves and yard waste material, and the household does the unloading because the centre is self service. Business customers face separate pricing and daily limits, and appliance and electronics retailers or repair centres are not eligible for those residential services.
Claim the Minnesota Power refrigerator or freezer reward
A Minnesota Power residential customer with a working refrigerator or freezer to retire, who would rather have it collected than haul it.
Cost & conditions
The Materials Recovery Center takes a major appliance for a small per piece fee, and Minnesota Power separately advertises a $25 reward to its residential customers for refrigerator or freezer recycling through its own programme, so confirm the current reward terms and pickup arrangements with the utility before booking.
Arrange it
Contact Minnesota Power about its refrigerator and freezer recycling programme rather than bringing the unit to the Materials Recovery Center, and keep the unit running and empty until the collection is arranged if the programme requires it.
The reward is offered to Minnesota Power residential customers rather than to everyone, and it covers refrigerators and freezers rather than appliances generally. A washer, dryer, stove or dishwasher still goes to the Materials Recovery Center at the published per piece rate.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Duluth.
How much does appliance removal cost in Duluth?+
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 Duluth?+
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.
Where do appliances go in Duluth?+
To the Materials Recovery Center at 4587 Ridgeview Rd., where major household appliances are charged at a per piece rate and one microwave is recycled free each day. Minnesota Power also pays a reward to its residential customers who recycle a refrigerator or freezer through its own programme, so a household retiring a working fridge can compare the two. The centre is open Wednesday through Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and the fee is taken at the gatehouse.Official guidance
Who picks up trash in Duluth?+
The city does not collect household trash or recycling, so each household contracts a waste hauler. Most haulers in the region offer single stream recycling, which lets all recyclables go in one bin with no separation, and the regional authority still asks residents to keep aluminum, steel and tin containers, glass containers, magazines, newspaper, plastic containers, paper and corrugated cardboard separated within that stream. Everything too large for the bin goes to a district drop-off rather than to the curb.Official guidance
What can I take to the Materials Recovery Center?+
Furniture and household junk, mixed construction and demolition material, clean concrete with no rebar or embedded material, pallets and clean wood, appliances, mattresses and box springs, electronics, tires, scrap metal, household recyclables on a three sort system, food waste in compostable bags, film plastic that is clean and dry, holiday lights and electrical cords, CDs and DVDs out of their cases, and small electric appliances. Household garbage, household hazardous waste, and leaves or yard waste are not accepted there.Official guidance
Are there fees at the Materials Recovery Center?+
Some streams are free and others are charged by the yard or by the piece. Household recyclables on a three sort system, scrap metal, food waste in compostable bags, film plastic, holiday lights and cords, CDs and DVDs out of their cases, and small electric appliances are free, and one microwave is free each day along with four passenger or pickup tires and the small electronics and rechargeable batteries. Mixed waste, which covers household junk, broken furniture, old carpeting and construction debris, is charged by the cubic yard and that rate rises on October 1, 2026, while mattresses and box springs are charged per piece and appliances per piece.Official guidance
