Laundry appliances
Front-load and top-load washing machines use the washing machine choice. Add the dryer separately. Contact us about a single combined laundry unit or a stack that still needs separating.
Fridges and freezers
Choose Refrigerator for a full-size household fridge. Mini fridges and separate freezers have their own choices. Contact us first if the model or refrigerant needs checking.
Kitchen appliances
Stoves, dishwashers and microwaves are available in All appliances. Built-in units must already be detached and outside. Send a photo if your appliance does not match a listed choice.

Metal household appliances and other metal are collected by appointment only and at no cost. Doors have to be removed by law, and the homeowner has to evacuate the gas from a refrigerator or air conditioner before calling for the appointment.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The brochure states that metal household appliances and other metal are picked up by appointment only at no cost, for a property inside the city.
When & how
Call the Recycling Division on 908-820-4150 to make the appointment, and nothing goes to the curb before that appointment is set.
Get it ready
Remove the doors, because the brochure says the law requires it, and evacuate the refrigerant gas from a refrigerator or air conditioner before the call, because the city puts that on the homeowner. Never set an appliance or metal out on a Thursday or Friday without an appointment, since the brochure repeats that rule on its own line.
Metal, appliances and yard waste need a call first
Metal household appliances and other metal move by appointment only, at no cost, with the doors removed and the refrigerant evacuated from a refrigerator or air conditioner before the call. Leaves, grass, bushes, logs and branches also need an appointment. The brochure repeats that no refrigerators, appliances, metal, branches, stumps, brush or leaves go out on Thursdays or Fridays without one.
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 Elizabeth Department of Public Works, Recycling Division
Metal and appliance appointment
A property with a metal appliance or other metal that has to leave.
Cost & conditions
No charge. The brochure states that metal household appliances and other metal are picked up by appointment only at no cost.
Arrange it
Call the Recycling Division on 908-820-4150 during weekday hours from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and book the appointment before the unit goes to the curb.
Doors must be removed by law, the homeowner has to evacuate the refrigerant from a refrigerator or air conditioner before the call, and nothing goes out on a Thursday or Friday without the appointment.
Self-hauling in Elizabeth runs through the city Recycling Center at 523 Trenton Avenue, near the animal shelter and across from Mattano Park. The center takes televisions, monitors and computers as whole units, batteries including car and rechargeable types, used motor oil and cooking oil for residents with identification and no more than five gallons, fluorescent bulbs, the accepted number 6 white foam, tires, and household plastic bags and wrap. It refuses dismantled electronics, crushed bulbs, colored or food service foam, other car products and paint, and any commercial dumping. For a large household item, the cheaper route is the bulk allowance of three items with the regular garbage on the second garbage day, while metal appliances and yard waste move only by appointment on 908-820-4150, with the doors removed and the refrigerant evacuated before the call. Construction material never rides either city route, so a project load goes with the contractor or to a registered facility. 2026 Trash and Recycling CalendarCity Yard

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Elizabeth.
How much does appliance removal cost in Elizabeth?+
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 Elizabeth?+
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 I get rid of an appliance in Elizabeth?+
Make an appointment with the Recycling Division on 908-820-4150, because metal household appliances and other metal are picked up by appointment only and at no cost. Remove the doors, which the brochure says the law requires, evacuate the gas from a refrigerator or air conditioner first, and never set the unit at the curb without the appointment.Official guidance
