Appliance removal in Erie: start with the item’s collection rules, then choose the arrangement that fits.

Reviewed · Sources below

Washers, dryers, stoves and other appliances

Special rules apply

Appliances are the first category the city refuses in its large item program, so a washer, dryer, stove or hot water tank leaves through the private market instead. A working appliance can go to ReStore for reuse, and a stripped metal unit can go to one of the city's metal outlets.

City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no rate for an appliance because it does not collect them. A stripped metal appliance without refrigerant goes to Liberty Iron & Metal on (814) 452-4549 or Lincoln Recycling on (814) 838-7628, which set their own terms, and the city says a private hauler is the route for anything they will not take, so confirm the acceptance and the price before the unit leaves home.
When & how
Call a metal outlet, ReStore or a private hauler and arrange the drop-off or pickup, and keep the appliance out of the city large item pile because it will be refused there.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and drain a water heater before it moves, and separate the two cases: a working appliance is a reuse donation, while a metal unit with no refrigerant is scrap. A cooling unit is a third case and is covered by its own rule.

Refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners

Special rules apply

A unit that holds refrigerant has two published routes in Erie. A pickup service named by the city takes the appliance from the home or the curb and charges according to the item, while a unit with the refrigerant already removed is scrap metal for a metal yard.

City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no flat rate for a cooling appliance. The appliance disposal service on 1-888-GO-FREON charges by the item and the pickup, and the metal outlets price a stripped unit on their own terms, so confirm the fee and whether the refrigerant has to be recovered before the unit is moved.
When & how
Arrange the pickup with the disposal service, which the city says collects appliances in the home or at the curb, or deliver a unit with the refrigerant already removed to Liberty Iron & Metal or Lincoln Recycling.
Get it ready
Keep the unit upright, empty it and remove the doors and shelves so nothing can be trapped inside, and never put it on the city large item pile, where appliances are refused. Ask the receiving outlet how the refrigerant is handled before the unit leaves the property.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Nothing goes out without a confirmation number

A large item is collected only when the resident schedules it on 814-870-1550 on a weekday between 08:30am and 04:30pm or through the online form for up to three items, and only after the six digit confirmation number arrives. The item goes curbside on the night of the scheduled collection, and setting anything out without a confirmation number or at another time is treated as illegal dumping and draws a citation.

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.

With a new purchase

Have a cooling appliance picked up

A household with a refrigerator, a freezer or an air conditioner that still holds refrigerant and would rather not move it.

Cost & conditions
The city names the service and says a fee is charged depending on the item and the pickup, so the amount is confirmed with the company on 1-888-GO-FREON before the unit is scheduled.
Arrange it
Call the appliance disposal service, describe the unit and arrange for it to be collected in the home or at the curb on the day the company gives.

The fee depends on the item, the service is a private company rather than a city program, and a unit with the refrigerant already removed is scrap metal that the metal outlets handle instead.

Take a stripped appliance to a metal outlet or a working one to ReStore

A household with a metal appliance that has no refrigerant left, or a washer, dryer, refrigerator, stove or microwave that still works.

Cost & conditions
The metal outlets set their own terms and may pay for scrap or charge for handling, and ReStore accepts working appliances as a donation with no stated fee, so confirm the terms with the outlet that fits the item.
Arrange it
Deliver a working appliance to Habitat for Humanity ReStore at 4922 Pittsburgh Ave., or a stripped metal unit to Liberty Iron & Metal at 646 E. 18th St. or Lincoln Recycling at 1602 Selinger Ave., during their own hours.

A unit that still holds refrigerant is not scrap and belongs with the cooling appliance route, the outlets publish no fixed prices, and the load has to be manageable for a vehicle the household provides.

With a new purchase

Call a private hauler for what the city refuses

A household with appliances, electronics, tires, construction debris or a project load that the city's large item program excludes.

Cost & conditions
A private hauler sets its own price for a collection or a container, and the city publishes no rate because it does not run this service. Tires, electronics and hazardous waste are the categories the city explicitly sends to a registered event or facility, so confirm both the price and the destination before booking.
Arrange it
Contact a private rubbish hauler, describe the load and arrange the collection or the container delivery on the company's schedule.

The city's program refuses appliances, automotive items, electronics, hazardous waste and construction material, none of those may be added to a large item pile, and hazardous waste still has to reach a registered collection event or facility rather than a general hauler.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Self-hauling in Erie splits by material. Household furniture goes out on the free city large item pickup, booked on 814-870-1550 with a confirmation number and set curbside on the night of the collection, with carpet in four foot rolls and any glass boxed and labelled. Everything the city refuses goes somewhere else: a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner goes to the appliance disposal service the city names on 1-888-GO-FREON for a fee that depends on the item, a metal appliance with no refrigerant goes to Liberty Iron & Metal on East 18th Street or Lincoln Recycling on Selinger Avenue, and a working appliance can be donated to ReStore on Pittsburgh Avenue. Televisions, computers and monitors go to an Erie County collection event with pre-registration and a charge by weight, or to a fee charging recycler, while Goodwill recycles computers free through Dell Reconnect. Batteries and motor oil have retail and metal recycler drop-offs inside the city, and hazardous waste goes to the county events or to the Cochranton facility.

Reuse outlet for working appliances and building material

Habitat for Humanity ReStore

4922 Pittsburgh Ave., Erie, PA

Working washers, dryers, refrigerators, stoves and microwaves for reuse, and reusable building material such as cabinets, windows, doors, paint, trim, hardware, plumbing and flooring.

A donation outlet rather than a disposal site, so the store decides what it can resell and the city page asks residents to call for hours and the materials accepted that day. Nothing that the city refuses as hazardous waste or construction debris becomes acceptable here just by being dropped off.

Not published on the city page; call 814-464-8946 for current hours and accepted material.

No charge. Donations of reusable material are accepted at no stated charge, and the store's own terms govern what it takes. A working appliance is the intended donation rather than a broken one.

Check accepted items & visiting details

Metal and electronics recycler inside the city

Lincoln Recycling

1602 Selinger Ave., Erie, PA

Scrap metal including appliances without refrigerant, motor oil, batteries, and some electronics including computer monitors and televisions.

A private recycler rather than a city site, so its own accepted list and fees govern. The county states that fees apply for electronics such as monitors and televisions, and the city lists the outlet for metal appliances with no Freon, so a charged cooling unit is not the right load for this address.

Not published on the city or county pages; call 814-838-7628 for current hours, accepted items and fees.

The city and county pages name the outlet without publishing its rates, and the county says fees apply for electronics while scrap metal may be paid for, so confirm the terms by phone before loading.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

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

How much does appliance removal cost in Erie?

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 Erie?

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.

Where do appliances go in Erie?

The city refuses appliances in its large item program and tells residents to call a private hauler. Working washers, dryers, refrigerators, stoves and microwaves can be donated to ReStore at 4922 Pittsburgh Ave., and metal appliances without refrigerant go to Liberty Iron & Metal at 646 E. 18th St. or Lincoln Recycling at 1602 Selinger Ave.Official guidance

How does a refrigerator leave an Erie home?

The city refuses appliances, so the routes are the appliance disposal service the city names on 1-888-GO-FREON, which picks up in the home or at the curb for a fee that depends on the item, or a metal outlet such as Liberty Iron & Metal or Lincoln Recycling for a unit with no refrigerant left in it. A working unit can also be donated to ReStore.Official guidance

What will the city not take at all?

Appliances, automotive items such as batteries and tires, electronic devices including televisions, computers and monitors, household hazardous waste, and construction materials of any kind. The city tells residents with those items to call a private hauler, and states that tires, electronics and hazardous waste have to be recycled at a registered collection event or facility instead.Official guidance
