White goods and appliances

Accepted with preparation

Refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, water coolers, washers, dryers, water heaters and microwaves are white goods that the city will not take with the weekly trash. They need the city's monthly program with a tag, or a trip to a county facility.

City cost & eligibility
$15 per item tag purchased from the City Treasury Office at 39 West Chestnut Street for the monthly white goods collection. City of Lancaster residential customers. The weekly trash collection does not take white goods, and the city program ensures refrigerant gases are recovered under federal air quality rules. A county authority facility also takes appliances as a single item under 200 pounds, or as part of a load charged by weight.
When & how
Buy the tag from the Treasury Office at 39 West Chestnut Street and set the appliance out on the city's monthly white goods collection day. As an alternative, haul the unit to a county authority facility during operating hours and pay by credit or debit card, because the facilities take no cash or checks.
Get it ready
Empty and defrost the unit, remove all contents, and leave the refrigerant work to the receiving program, which recovers the gases. Do not put a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner at the curb with the weekly trash, and do not take white goods to the county household hazardous waste facility, which refuses them.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Prepare a self-haul load for the county authority

A load that cannot go curbside goes to a county authority facility, where open loads must be tarped, large items must be secured, and the facilities accept only credit or debit cards. Visitors must wear closed-toed sturdy shoes and a high-visibility vest, which can be bought at the scale house for a fee. A single item under 200 pounds is charged a flat fee, household trash is charged by weight with a minimum per visit, and construction and demolition material has its own rate and size limits.

Residential disposal ratesTrash disposal

What the hazardous waste facility takes and refuses

The household hazardous waste facility takes adhesives, automotive fluids in containers of five gallons or less, batteries including automotive and household but not electric vehicle batteries, fire extinguishers, fuels, household cleaners, pool and photographic chemicals, lawn treatments, mercury containing items, paint with rust inhibitors, stains, turpentine and thinners, and propane tanks of 20 pounds or less. It refuses medical waste, kitchen electronics, white goods, household tools, lawn tools, empty paint cans and fuel tanks, bulbs without mercury, compressed gas cylinders and solar panels.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Lancaster residents can keep most bulky material at the curb: the weekly program takes one oversized item per household, which covers sofas, stuffed chairs, furniture, mattress sets and a carpet roll, as long as two people can lift it. White goods such as refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners are the exception and need the city's monthly program with a tag bought at the Treasury Office. Anything heavier or larger, plus construction material and tires, can be hauled to a county authority facility, where loads are charged by weight or as a single item, open loads must be tarped and payment is by card only. Chemicals, batteries and electronic waste go to the free household hazardous waste facility on Harrisburg Pike. Trash and recyclingResidential disposal ratesHousehold hazardous waste facility

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

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

How much does appliance removal cost in Lancaster?

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 Lancaster?

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.

How do I get rid of a refrigerator in Lancaster?

White goods are not collected with the weekly trash. The city runs a monthly collection program for refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, water coolers, washers, dryers, water heaters and microwaves, and each item needs a tag purchased from the Treasury Office at 39 West Chestnut Street.
