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.

Bulk and large item collection

Accepted with preparation

Elyria picks up bulk or large items on the regular collection route, and the city defines them as large residential items that cannot fit in a city cart.

City cost & eligibility
Bulk items ride the regular collection and no per-item price is published, but the city states that additional charges may apply for a large bulk pile. Confirm the pile with the Sanitation Department on 440-322-3895.
When & how
Set the items out curbside with your regular collection, following the same after-5 p.m. and before-7 a.m. window as the carts.
Get it ready
Disassemble items as much as you can, remove every screw and nail, keep boxes and bags contained and under 50 pounds, cut carpet and padding and tie it into bundles no longer than 4 feet, and wrap a mattress in plastic before it goes out.
Bulk or large item guidelinesSanitation Department overview and contacts

Stoves, washers, dryers and other appliances

Special rules apply

Stoves, washers and similar appliances are named in the city's bulk list and go out with the regular collection, but anything holding refrigerant is refused until the Freon has been discharged and the unit tagged by a certified technician. A microwave is the only appliance the county center takes.

City cost & eligibility
No appliance price is published and the piece rides the regular collection unless the city decides a large pile warrants an extra charge, so confirm the load on 440-322-3895. If the unit holds refrigerant, the technician's charge is separate and is not published by the city.
When & how
Set the appliance out with the regular collection once it is prepared, and keep a cooling unit off the curb until it has been discharged and tagged.
Get it ready
Empty the appliance, take the doors off a refrigerator or freezer before it goes outside, remove screws and nails, and have a certified technician discharge the Freon and tag the unit if it holds refrigerant. A microwave can go to the county center as electronic scrap.
Bulk or large item guidelinesCounty electronic waste listCounty materials not accepted

Refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners

Special rules apply

Elyria refuses any appliance that still holds refrigerant. A discarded refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner has to have the Freon discharged and the unit tagged by a certified technician before the city will pick it up.

City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no collection charge for a discharged unit, and the technician's own charge for discharging and tagging the appliance is not published, so arrange and confirm the work yourself before the unit goes to the curb.
When & how
Have the unit discharged and tagged first, then set it out with the regular collection in the usual curb-lawn window.
Get it ready
Take the doors off before the unit goes outside, keep the tag from the technician visible, and leave the refrigerant sealed until the technician handles it. The county center refuses air conditioners and dehumidifiers, so a cooling unit belongs on the city route only after it is sealed.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Prepare a bulk item the way the city asks

Disassemble the item as much as possible, take out every screw and nail, and keep boxes and bags under 50 pounds. Cut carpet and padding and tie it into bundles no longer than four feet, wrap a mattress in plastic, and take the doors off a refrigerator or freezer. Anything holding refrigerant is refused until a certified technician discharges the Freon and tags the unit.

Bulk or large item guidelines

The carts and the bulk pile share one set-out window

Refuse may go on the curb lawn no sooner than 5 p.m. the day before collection and no later than 7 a.m. on the collection day, because routes start at 7 a.m. and a late set-out may wait a week. Keep three feet of clearance around each cart, take the carts back off the tree lawn the same day, and put a bulk pile out with the same timing as the carts.

Garbage cart and set-out guidelinesBulk or large item guidelines

For your Dropcurb pickup

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.

Set bulk items out with your regular collection

An Elyria household with a couch, mattress, appliance, television or other large item that will not fit in the city cart.

Cost & conditions
Bulk items ride the regular collection with no published per-item price, but the city states that additional charges may apply for a large bulk pile, so confirm the pile on 440-322-3895.
Arrange it
Put the prepared items on the curb lawn with the carts, after 5 p.m. the day before collection and before 7 a.m. on collection day.

Anything holding refrigerant is refused until a certified technician discharges the Freon and tags it, mattresses must be wrapped in plastic, and a load of construction or demolition debris is not part of the program.

Read the bulk item guidelines

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Self-hauling in Elyria means two places. The Lorain County Collection Center at 540 South Abbe Road takes electronic scrap, household hazardous waste from residences, fluorescent bulbs and ballasts, tires up to a 20-inch rim, paper for shredding and extra recyclables, on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday with photo identification, and the county asks large loads to be booked on 440-329-5440. Everything else that is too big for a cart belongs on the city route: bulk items go out with the regular collection after they are disassembled, stripped of screws and nails, and prepared the way the city asks, with mattresses wrapped in plastic, carpet cut and tied, and no appliance that still holds refrigerant. Construction and demolition debris has no local route, because the city publishes none and the county refuses that material outright. Yard waste goes to the Barnes Materials compost facility at 45 Chestnut Street, which is free for Elyria residents.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Elyria.

How much does appliance removal cost in Elyria?

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 Elyria?

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 are the bulk item rules in Elyria?

Disassemble the item as much as possible, take out all screws and nails, keep boxes and bags under 50 pounds, cut and tie carpet into bundles no longer than four feet, and wrap a mattress in plastic. Everything goes to the curb with your regular collection, and a large pile may carry an extra charge.Official guidance

Will Elyria take a stove or a washer at the curb?

Yes. Stoves, washers and similar appliances are named in the city's bulk item list and go out with the regular collection after they are emptied and stripped of screws and nails. The county Collection Center refuses appliances other than microwaves, so the curb is the local route.Official guidance

Can a refrigerator go to the curb as it is?

No. The city will not accept any appliance containing refrigerant, so a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner has to have the Freon discharged and the unit tagged by a certified technician before pickup, and the doors have to come off before it goes outside.Official guidance

Who do I call with a sanitation question in Elyria?

The Sanitation Department on 440-322-3895 or sanitation@cityofelyria.org for carts, bulk items and collection questions, and the Lorain County Solid Waste District on 440-329-5440 for the Collection Center, including drop-off terms and appointments for a large load.Official guidance
