Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Wake Forest.
How much does appliance removal cost in Wake Forest?+
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 Wake Forest?+
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 many free bulk pickups does Wake Forest give?+
Two free bulk collections each calendar year per household. Bulk pickups run on Tuesdays by appointment only, a request submitted before 2 p.m. on Monday is collected the next day, and any collection beyond the two free ones is charged at fifty dollars each.Official guidance
What will not be taken as bulk waste in Wake Forest?+
Liquid paint, batteries, gasoline, oil, tires, hazardous material, electronics such as televisions, computers, printers, copiers and microwaves, move-outs, clean-outs and evictions, construction and remodelling material, car parts and accessories, and appliances such as freezers, refrigerators and air conditioning units, with no appliance or equipment that contains freon accepted. Dried paint in a can may go in the trash cart.Official guidance
Can a refrigerator go out as Wake Forest bulk waste?+
No. The town's bulk page lists appliances such as freezers, refrigerators and air conditioning units as not acceptable, and states that no appliance or equipment containing freon can be collected. A refrigerator, freezer or air conditioning unit goes instead to a Wake County multi-material recycling facility, such as North Wake on Deponie Drive in Raleigh or South Wake on Old Smithfield Road in Apex, both open Monday through Saturday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Dishwashers, dryers, stoves, washing machines and water heaters are accepted on the bulk route.Official guidance

The service includes one trash cart, one recycling cart and weekly collection on the Raleigh Water bill, and Republic Services provides a free collection assistance programme for the elderly and disabled through Public Works.Official guidance
