A disconnected washing machine outside a ground-level doorway, with its plug resting on top and a clear path beside it.
Disconnected. Outside. Ready for its next stop.

The old one has a way out

One less loose end before the new one arrives.

A replacement is on its way. A broken washer is taking up space. Or the old fridge is the last thing left before a move. Give that appliance its own pickup plan, with a price you can see and a day you can choose.

Choose the appliance you have

A washer and dryer count as two.

Every appliance has its own catalog choice and price. Add only the items you want taken away, then review the exact total before booking.

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.

Ready for pickup

Disconnected first. Pickup from outside.

We handle loading and haul-away from your accessible outdoor spot. Arrange any indoor carrying, uninstallation and utility disconnection before pickup.

You can book before the appliance is outside. Plan the disconnection and move first, then have it ready by the time shown for your pickup.

Apartment pickup starts outside.

A walk-up, a condo or an elevator building. Arrange the move to an approved outdoor spot. We take it from there.

Text us about your setup
  1. Arrange disconnection

    Have the appliance safely disconnected from power, water and gas, as applicable. Use a qualified professional for gas, hardwired or plumbing connections when needed.

  2. Empty it and arrange outdoor access

    Remove food, clothes and other contents. Have the appliance at an accessible ground-level outdoor spot by your pickup readiness time, with a clear path and permission to use the space.

  3. Show us the right appliance

    Add a location photo and a note about the entrance or outdoor area. Keep any appliances that are staying separate from the items you booked.

You’re in the loop.

Confirmation when you book. A heads-up before arrival. Photos when it’s done.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in New York City.

How much does appliance removal cost in New York City?

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 New York City?

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.

Can a washer or dryer use NYC recycling collection?

Yes. NYC lists clothes dryers and washing machines as recyclable bulk items. Put them out for the address recycling day, following the bulk-item placement rules.

Official guidance

How does NYC collect an eligible refrigerator?

Book refrigerant removal first. Remove refrigerator or freezer doors, hinges and locks, then set it out with its back toward the street between 6pm and midnight before the appointment. After treatment and tagging, DSNY collects it on the next recycling day.

Official guidance

Which refrigerator refrigerants does NYC refuse?

DSNY does not collect appliances containing R600a or R32. Check the label and contact the manufacturer or a private carter for an appropriate disposal route.

Official guidance

Can a NYC refrigerator be removed the day I request it?

DSNY does not offer same-day refrigerant appointments. The appointment is the treatment step; physical collection follows on the next recycling day after tagging.

Official guidance

Could a working NYC appliance be donated instead?

Habitat NYC and Westchester accepts selected clean, complete working appliances after screening. Its guidelines list washers and dryers under ten years old and white or stainless refrigerators under ten years old. Email photos and await approval before a Yonkers drop-off.
