Large appliances are white goods, which North Carolina bans from landfills, so they are recycled rather than buried. The city collects them by appointment as a bulky item from its own trash customers, and the county landfill accepts them at no charge in its appliance recycling area.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Appliances are accepted at no charge for recycling at the New Hanover County Landfill, and a city trash customer can book the unit on the bulky appointment pickup, which the city includes in the monthly Solid Waste Services rate rather than billing separately.
When & how
Call 910.341.7875 for the city pickup by 4:30 p.m. on the business day before the trash day, or take the unit to the county landfill on a weekday between 6:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. or on Saturday morning.
Get it ready
Empty the unit, keep it upright in the vehicle, and tell the scale house that it is a white good so the crew sends it to the appliance recycling area instead of the working face, because state law bans appliances from the landfill itself. A unit with refrigerant is handled on that route as well.
A refrigerator, freezer or air conditioning unit is a white good with an explicit local route: the county landfill takes it at no charge in the appliance area, and the city books it on the bulky appointment pickup for its own trash customers. The refrigerant is removed and recycled before the unit is scrapped.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. No charge for appliances delivered to the New Hanover County Landfill, and no separate charge for a city trash customer who books the unit on the bulky appointment pickup included in the monthly Solid Waste Services rate.
When & how
Book the city pickup on 910.341.7875, or deliver the unit to the county landfill, open Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 6:30 a.m. to noon.
Get it ready
Empty and defrost the unit and keep it upright in the vehicle. The county has the refrigerant safely removed and recycled before the appliance goes on to a scrap metal facility, so say at the scale house that the unit holds refrigerant rather than putting it on the working face, and note that the county refuses appliances at its household hazardous waste site.
Everything scheduled has to be at the curb by 6 a.m. on the collection day, and material may be set out after noon the day before. The bulky items, the metal items, the electronics and the yard waste go in separate piles on the right-of-way because three different trucks service them, so list every item when the appointment is booked and bend or remove nails from lumber before it goes out.
The landfill at 5210 Highway 421 North is open Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 6:30 a.m. to noon, and the load is weighed and billed by net weight with a minimum charge. Many banned items are recycled on the same property rather than buried, so tell the scale house if the load holds appliances, tires, batteries, used oil, antifreeze, pallets or concrete, and expect a nuisance charge on a load that creates dust, odour or extra handling.
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 Wilmington Solid Waste Services with New Hanover County Environmental Management
Book the city bulky appointment pickup
A city trash customer with a couch, mattress, appliance, television or other oversized household item that will not fit in the cart.
Cost & conditions
No charge. City of Wilmington trash customers with curbside service on a public street, booked in advance. The city describes the bulky pickup as carrying no additional charge and includes it in the monthly Solid Waste Services rate, while a household without city trash service is not eligible.
Arrange it
Call the Solid Waste Services office on 910.341.7875 or complete the online appointment form no later than 4:30 p.m. on the business day before the trash day, list every item, then set the piles out on the right-of-way on the collection day.
The pickup is by appointment only and covers normal household items, not a whole property cleanout. Trash that did not fit in the cart is not a bulky item, nothing too large or heavy for the crew is taken, demolition material from contracted work is the contractor's responsibility, and the piles have to be separated by type.
City of Wilmington Solid Waste Services with New Hanover County Environmental Management
Self-haul a load to the county landfill
A household or small contractor with construction debris, a mixed load, a mattress or an appliance that is easier to drive over than to book for pickup.
Cost & conditions
From $5 per load at the New Hanover County Landfill, where the $5.00 minimum charge applies to a small load, disposal is then billed at $61.00 per ton, and a mattress or box spring adds a flat $10.00 each, while appliances, household recyclables, used oil, antifreeze and up to five tires a day from a resident arrive at no charge. Any customer delivering to the scale at 5210 Highway 421 North. An out-of-county load carries a flat charge on top of the tonnage, and a load that creates a nuisance condition pays a flat $150 plus the weight of the load.
Arrange it
Load the vehicle, drive to 5210 Highway 421 North on a weekday between 6:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. or on Saturday morning, and stop at the scale so the load can be weighed and the material directed to the right area.
Asbestos is no longer accepted at this landfill, and large appliances are refused at the county household hazardous waste site but accepted here at no charge. Concrete, clean dirt, untreated lumber and pallets, shingles and yard waste have their own areas and rates, and the landfill closes on the listed holidays.
Arrange a private hauler if the city does not serve the address
A household on a private street, in a multifamily property or at an address the city does not collect, where the city bulky appointment pickup and the curbside routes are not available.
Cost & conditions
A private hauler sets its own price for a collection, and the city publishes no rate for a route it does not run. The county landfill scale rate is the fallback comparison for a self-haul, so ask the hauler what it charges and where the load goes before booking.
Arrange it
Ask the property manager which company handles the building, or contact a private hauler directly, and confirm the pickup day and where the items have to be placed.
The city states it cannot collect yard waste or bulky items from an address without city trash service, and that most multifamily housing contracts with a private hauler because the city runs no dumpster service. A private street is served only if the homeowners association or neighbors petition the city successfully.
Municipal solid waste, construction and demolition debris, and bulky items such as mattresses and furniture, with special waste taken by prior authorization. The site also runs recycling areas for appliances, scrap metal, tires, car and truck batteries, used motor oil, oil filters, antifreeze, cooking oil, aluminium cans, cardboard, drywall, mixed paper, plastics 1, 2 and 5, asphalt shingles, oyster shells, yard waste, clean soil, and unpainted or untreated lumber and pallets, and it sorts mixed construction loads for recoverable lumber, cardboard, concrete, brick, block, metal and drywall.
Asbestos-containing material is no longer accepted, and the North Carolina landfill ban list means motor oil and filters, yard trash, white goods, antifreeze, aluminium cans, whole scrap tires, lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries, plastic beverage containers, wooden pallets, oyster shells, computer equipment and televisions, fluorescent lights and mercury thermostats must go to the designated recycling areas rather than the working face. All customers have to be unloaded and off site by closing time, out-of-county loads carry an extra charge and are screened, and a load creating a nuisance condition pays a flat $150 plus its weight. Scale house phone 910-798-4450, special waste authorization 910-798-4453.
Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. excluding select holidays, and Saturday from 6:30 a.m. to noon. Closed on New Year's Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day, with an early close on Christmas Eve.
From $5 per load at the scale, where the $5.00 minimum charge applies to a small load, disposal is then billed at $61.00 per ton, and a mattress or box spring adds a flat $10.00 each, while appliances, household recyclables, waste oil, antifreeze and up to five tires a day from a resident are accepted at no charge. Any customer delivering to the scale. An out-of-county load carries a flat charge on top of the tonnage, and clean concrete, clean dirt, untreated lumber and pallets, shingles, asphalt and residential yard waste are priced at their own lower rates.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Wilmington.
How much does appliance removal cost in Wilmington?+
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 Wilmington?+
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 appliances leave a Wilmington home?+
A city trash customer books the appliance on the bulky appointment pickup at 910.341.7875, and any county resident can also take white goods to the New Hanover County Landfill, where they are accepted at no charge and sent on for recycling. Appliances are banned from the landfill itself, so scale house staff direct the load to the recycling area.Official guidance
Where does a refrigerator go in New Hanover County?+
To the county landfill at 5210 Highway 421 North, where appliances are accepted at no charge, or onto the city bulky appointment pickup if you are a city trash customer. The county refuses appliances at its household hazardous waste site, and it has the refrigerant removed and recycled before the unit is sent to a scrap metal facility.Official guidance
Who can use the county landfill and the county collection site?+
Both county sites are built for New Hanover County households. The landfill takes loads from residents and businesses at the scale, while the household hazardous waste and electronics site is free to county households with identification and cannot take chemicals from businesses or from out-of-county residents. Loads arriving at the landfill from outside the county carry an extra charge and can be screened.Official guidance
How is a load charged at the county landfill?+
The load is weighed at the scale and billed by net weight, with a $5.00 minimum on a small load and a flat $10.00 for each mattress or box spring. Appliances, household recyclables, motor oil, antifreeze and up to five tires a day from a resident come in at no charge, several materials including clean concrete, clean dirt and untreated lumber have their own lower rates, and a load that creates dust, odour or extra handling draws a nuisance charge of $150 on top of the weight.Official guidance
