Metal appliances are free at the county transfer station, a unit holding refrigerant is charged a published per appliance fee, and appliances are refused in the curbside carts.
City cost & eligibility
At the Columbia County Transfer Station a metal dishwasher, water heater, clothes dryer, clothes washer or stove is free of charge, while a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner that holds refrigerant is charged 26.30 dollars each on the rate sheet effective July 1, 2025. A Hudson container instead refuses an appliance with Freon and accepts a large appliance without chlorofluorocarbons or Freon, so confirm the route with the hauler at 503-397-1534 or the scale house at 503-397-9811.
When & how
The transfer station takes appliances Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is closed on New Year's Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and remove the doors where the manufacturer allows it before the trip, keep the appliance out of both curbside carts because the cart list refuses appliances, and say whether the unit holds refrigerant when you call, because that is what decides whether the drop off is free or carries the posted fee.
The grey cart takes food and normal household trash, and it refuses antifreeze or motor oil, appliances, asbestos, ashes, car batteries, chemicals, dead animals, dirt or rocks, liquid paint, medical sharps, medical waste, recycling, tires and yard waste. Anything on that list goes to the county transfer station or into a hauler container instead.
At the Columbia County Transfer Station, commingled recyclables, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, scrap metal, metal appliances, electronics, motor oil, cooking oil, architectural paint and medical sharps in certified containers are free, so they go to their designated areas rather than onto the waste scale.
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 St. Helens.
How much does appliance removal cost in St. Helens?+
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 St. Helens?+
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 does a refrigerator cost to drop off?+
A refrigerant appliance such as a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner is charged 26.30 dollars each at the Columbia County Transfer Station, and the same page shows metal appliances such as a dishwasher, water heater, dryer, washer or stove accepted free of charge. A Hudson container refuses an appliance with Freon.Official guidance
