Appliances are named on the bulky cleanup list, which also defines bulky household trash to include stoves, refrigerators and water heaters.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Appliances are collected by city crews during the annual neighborhood cleanup as part of the city sanitation service, with no per item charge published for the cleanup.
When & how
Put the appliance out the weekend before your scheduled cleanup week, and use the Hanes Mill Road Landfill if the item has to go sooner.
Get it ready
Empty the unit, keep it separate from yard waste, brush and recyclables, and keep hazardous products, glass, tires and construction material out of the pile because they are refused and can cost the whole pile its collection.
Carts go out by 6 a.m. and come back by 8 a.m. the next day
Carts go to the curb by 6 a.m. on the collection day, and no earlier than 5 p.m. the day before, with the lift handle facing the street and the lid hinge away from it, and they come back in by 8 a.m. the next day. Only the carts issued by the city can be used, the cart goes at the curb rather than in the street, and it stays three feet from trees, bushes, parked cars and other carts.
All garbage is bagged inside the cart and nothing sits outside it
All garbage has to be bagged in heavy-duty plastic bags and completely contained within the cart with the lid closed, no additional bags may be placed outside the cart, and excess garbage is held for the next week's collection. One 96 gallon trash cart and one recycling cart are provided to residents at no charge, and the city serves single-family households with garbage, recycling, yard waste carts, brush, leaves and the annual bulky cleanup.
The bulky cleanup refuses several categories outright
The city cannot collect construction materials, car parts, cement, electronic waste, glass, hazardous or infectious waste, lumber or wood, oil drums, paint, rocks, tires or yard waste on the bulky cleanup, and a pile that is mixed with unacceptable materials is not collected at all. Bulky items are collected only during the annual neighborhood cleanup, which is for single-family homes, and outside that week the city directs residents to the Hanes Mill Road Landfill at 325 W Hanes Mill Rd.
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.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Winston-Salem.
How much does appliance removal cost in Winston-Salem?+
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 Winston-Salem?+
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 are Winston-Salem appliances collected?+
Appliances are collected by city crews during the annual neighborhood area cleanup, and the city defines bulky household trash to include stoves, refrigerators, washers, dryers, water heaters and similar items. Put the appliance out the weekend before the scheduled cleanup week and keep yard waste, brush and recyclables out of the pile, because a mixed pile is refused entirely.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Winston-Salem?+

When is bulky item pickup in Winston-Salem?+
Only during the annual neighborhood area cleanup, which runs on published weeks in 2026 starting March 2.
