Appliance Recycling in St. Louis, Missouri

Starting at $79. Additional items from $19.

Getting rid of an old refrigerator, washer, dryer, or stove comes down to five options: city bulk pickup (free but restricted), retailer haul-away (free–$50 with a new purchase), self-haul to a recycling center ($30–80), curbside pickup through Dropcurb ($134, same day), or traditional junk removal ($200–600+). Appliance disposal is more regulated than furniture because of refrigerants, oils, and heavy metals.

Does St. Louis pick up appliances?

Junk removal in St. Louis starts at $79 with Dropcurb — same-day curbside pickup, no on-site estimates. The city's free bulk pickup runs once per month on a fixed Monday schedule per region, leaving residents waiting up to 4 weeks depending on their zone.

City program details: St. Louis Refuse Division provides free monthly bulk pickup divided into 4 regions — Region 1 on the 1st Monday, Region 2 on the 2nd Monday, Region 3 on the 3rd Monday, Region 4 on the 4th Monday. Residents can also drop off items free at the North Transfer Station (4100 Borcherding Dr) or South Transfer Station (4100 Borcherding Dr), Monday-Friday 8 AM–4 PM — no extra charge beyond the $14/month Water/Solid Waste fee. BOAT-E items (Batteries, Oil, Appliances, Tires, Electronics) have separate collection requirements.

St. Louis divides the city into 4 bulk pickup regions — each region gets one Monday per month (1st through 4th). Miss your window and you wait another full month. The North and South Transfer Stations accept items free (included in the $14/month Water/Solid Waste fee), but you need a truck and they're only open Monday-Friday 8 AM–4 PM. BOAT-E items (Batteries, Oil, Appliances, Tires, Electronics) require separate collection and can't go out with regular bulk. Two Men and a Junk Truck operates locally (314-936-3695) with same-day service but on-site pricing. Junk King has two St. Louis locations — South (314-714-4478) and North (314-582-1379) — both offering free estimates but volume-based pricing. St. Louis Gets Junk offers a no-contact trailer drop-off for $599 for 5 days ($20/additional day). LoadUp starts at $79 per single item. Jiffy Junk provides eco-friendly junk removal with free quotes.

Dropcurb picks up appliances same-day in St. Louis for $134 flat — no wait, no annual limits, no restrictions.

One Monday per month — miss it and you wait 4 more weeks.

St. Louis splits the city into 4 bulk pickup regions, each getting one Monday per month. Miss your window in Soulard or Tower Grove and your old couch sits curbside for another month. The transfer stations are free but require a truck and close at 4 PM on weekdays.

What happens to your appliance after pickup

Appliances are recycled at licensed facilities that specialize in handling refrigerants, compressor oils, and heavy metals. Refrigerators and freezers undergo certified refrigerant recovery before processing. Steel, copper, aluminum, and other metals are separated and sent to scrap processors. Compressors, motors, and wiring are individually processed. Appliances in working condition may be refurbished and resold or donated to organizations like Habitat for Humanity ReStore.

Why St. Louis residents choose Dropcurb for appliance removal

Dropcurb skips St. Louis's monthly bulk pickup schedule entirely — $79 same-day instead of waiting for your region's Monday. No driving to the transfer stations, no $599 trailer rentals, no on-site estimates from franchise haulers.

Serving Central West End, Soulard, Cherokee Street, Forest Park, The Hill, Clayton, and 4 more neighborhoods in St. Louis.
