Kitchen appliances and air conditioners are on the City's bulky waste list, so they leave by appointment or as a drop-off load at the transfer station.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. An appliance pickup counts as one of the two standard bulk disposals a year included with service for a Plainfield property location, and the transfer station accepts appliances from residents and property owners with any load beyond the included allowance billed by weight.
When & how
Call 908-226-2518 for a bulky appointment, or bring the appliance to the transfer station during posted hours.
Get it ready
Remove the doors from every appliance before it is set out or dropped off, since the utility asks for that to protect small children. Automotive parts are not accepted at the transfer station.
Bulky waste is never taken on the regular trash day. Only the property owner can reserve an appointment, appointments are first come, first served, and the City counts two standard bulk disposals a year per property location as included with service.
The Plainfield Environmental Resource Center at 95 Rock Avenue is open to Plainfield residents and property owners, who must show identification and proof of residency or property ownership. Contractors need a DEP sticker, posted vehicle weights apply, and cash, check, Visa and Mastercard are accepted.
Electronic waste must not be discarded with recycling or regular garbage and is not accepted in the solid or bulky collections. Residents and property owners drop it at the transfer station free of charge, two items per day per person, and commercial customers are not permitted.
Remove the doors from every appliance before it leaves the property or the load reaches the gate, which the transfer station asks for to protect small children. Automotive parts are not accepted there at all.
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.

Cost & conditions
$264 for for an on-demand bulk pickup scheduled by a Plainfield resident who does not use the utility's solid waste services.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Plainfield.
How much does appliance removal cost in Plainfield?+
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 Plainfield?+
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.
What has to be done to an appliance before collection?+
Remove the doors first. The transfer station asks that doors be removed from all appliances to protect children, and appliances are accepted there as bulk waste as well as through a scheduled bulky pickup.Official guidance
Where can an appliance go if no pickup is available?+
The transfer station accepts appliances as bulk waste from Plainfield residents and property owners, with the doors removed first, and the load is billed by weight under the utility schedule. A scheduled bulky pickup is the other route, and it counts against the two standard bulk disposals included for the property location.Official guidance
