Refrigerators, washers, dryers and other appliances
Special rules apply
Appliances are metal, so a bulky item tag does not cover them. A refrigerator, a freezer, an air conditioner, a humidifier or a dehumidifier contains refrigerant and must be brought to the Recycling Center, where the city charges for the item. Washers, dryers, ovens, grills and dishwashers are on the center's light iron and metal list, and the brochure tells residents to ask the attendant about disposal options.
City cost & eligibility
From $20 per item containing Freon or refrigerant at the Recycling Center, while non-refrigerated metal appliances are listed on the center's metal material list without a published fee and the brochure says to see the attendant about disposal options. Dover residents and contractors bringing the item to the Recycling Center at 265 Mast Road under the no-charge vehicle permit; a bulky item tag cannot be used because the tag program covers non-metal items only.
When & how
Take the appliance to the Recycling Center on Mast Road during its open hours, because the city says an item containing refrigerant must come to the center rather than go out for the tag collection.
Get it ready
Empty the appliance before you load it, keep a refrigerated unit whole for the attendant, and strip glass, plastic, wood and rubber parts from a metal item. Gas tanks must be emptied and punctured on the side, oil tanks emptied and cut in half, and the tops taken off 55 gallon drums.
Bags, tags and recycling follow the same set out window
Everything for curbside collection goes out by 7 a.m. on your trash day, and nothing goes to the curb earlier than 4 p.m. the day before. A 15 gallon Dover bag holds no more than 20 pounds and a 30 gallon bag no more than 35 pounds, both tied shut, and a tagged bulky item leaves on the same day as the trash. Recycling goes out with it, and the city will not collect bottles, cans or paper that are left curbside in plastic bags.
The bulky item tag is published for non-metal items, so a couch, a mattress, a toilet or a rolled carpet can leave from the curb while a refrigerator, a washer, a television, a microwave and a large load of construction material cannot. Buy the tag before collection day at the City Clerk's Office, the Public Works facility on Mast Road, the Recycling Center or a store that sells Dover bags, and attach it to the item you are setting out.
The Recycling Center takes the restricted items, and it charges for some of them
Household recycling, metal, yard waste, batteries, waste oil, antifreeze, tires, propane tanks and compostable food scraps are taken at the Recycling Center on Mast Road, and the city says recycling in Dover is free. The same site prices the restricted material: construction and demolition debris by weight, refrigerated appliances and rolling copiers per item, televisions and microwaves per item, and computers per device. Bring the permit the City Clerk's Office issues at no charge, and pay by check, credit or debit card because the site does not take cash.
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 Dover.
How much does appliance removal cost in Dover?+
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 Dover?+
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 does a refrigerator go in Dover?+
A refrigerator, a freezer, an air conditioner, a humidifier or a dehumidifier contains refrigerant and has to be brought to the Recycling Center on Mast Road, where the city charges per item. A tag cannot be used, because the tag program covers non-metal items only.Official guidance
Why can a television or a refrigerator not go out with a tag?+
Because the tag program is written for non-metal items. Dover says a television and a microwave must be brought to the Recycling Center, where each has a published fee, and a refrigerator, freezer, air conditioner, humidifier or dehumidifier contains refrigerant and also has to come to the center for a fee. Washers, dryers, ovens and dishwashers go to the same site as metal.Official guidance
Do I need a permit for the Recycling Center, and how do I pay there?+
The Recycling Center permit is issued annually at the City Clerk's Office at no charge, and you bring your current vehicle registration and an ID to get one. At the site, payment is by check, credit or debit card and a card payment carries a processing fee, because the center does not take cash.Official guidance
