White goods are named on the borough bulk list and the county authority takes appliances free at the Transfer Station, so a washer or stove has two routes.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Any Centre County resident may bring appliances to the Transfer Station for no charge, and Borough of State College refuse accounts may also book the item on the bulk run; the authority accepts air conditioners, dehumidifiers, washing and drying machines, dishwashers, metal pots and pans, furnaces and electrical heaters, water heaters, refrigerators and freezers, stoves, ovens, microwaves and helium tanks.
When & how
Either book the borough bulk run by five in the afternoon on Sunday for the Monday collection, or take the appliance to the Transfer Station on Transfer Road where electronics and wood drop-offs run Monday to Saturday 8am to 4pm.
Get it ready
Empty the appliance and take out anything loose, keep sealed units such as propane bottles out of the load because the authority refuses them, and keep drums, barrels, paint cans, tar buckets and insulated pipe out as well.
Refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners and dehumidifiers are accepted free at the county Transfer Station, with the borough bulk run as the second route.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The Centre County Recycling and Refuse Authority accepts appliances, or white goods, at the Transfer Station from any Centre County resident for no charge, and the list names air conditioners and dehumidifiers, refrigerators and freezers, and helium tanks; a Borough of State College refuse account can also book the unit on the bulk run.
When & how
Take the unit to the Transfer Station on Transfer Road during the drop-off hours, entering through Gate 1 and following the signs to the scale house, or book it on the borough's Monday bulk run through 814-234-7135.
Get it ready
Empty and clean the unit, take the doors off, and ask at the scale house whether the refrigerant has to be recovered first, because no borough or authority page retained here states a refrigerant rule.
One cart, one day, refuse, organics and recycling together
State College residential refuse runs Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday depending on the address, with the day set when the account is opened through the Borough Finance Department. Refuse, organics and the red-bin recycling all come on the same collection day, the cart goes to the curb by 7 a.m. with the lid closed and three feet of clearance from trees, signs and other carts, and anything that does not fit goes beside the Borough cart in a container. Loose or fine waste such as ashes, plastic wrap, pet hair, kitty litter, tissues and packing peanuts has to be bagged, while larger items such as pizza boxes and lumber scraps can go straight in the cart. Carts come back off the street the same day, and residents who leave them out are subject to a fine.
The bulk run is booked, Monday only, three items at a time
Bulk refuse is collected by appointment on a run that starts Monday each week unless a Monday holiday cancels it entirely. The request has to reach the borough by five in the afternoon on Sunday, by form or by calling 814-234-7135, the items go to the curb by 6 am on the collection day and no more than 48 hours early, and no more than three items may be placed at once. Refrigerators, stoves, washing machines, furniture and similar household items are the collected materials, and bulk items are not picked up from alleys unless the property has no street frontage or normally uses an alley dumpster.
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 State College.
How much does appliance removal cost in State College?+
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 State College?+
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 State College?+
Two places. Refrigerators, stoves and washing machines are named on the borough bulk item list, so a household can book them on the Monday bulk run through 814-234-7135. The Centre County Recycling and Refuse Authority also accepts white goods at the Transfer Station from any Centre County resident for no charge, covering air conditioners, dehumidifiers, washers and dryers, dishwashers, furnaces, water heaters, refrigerators, freezers, stoves, ovens, microwaves and helium tanks, while refusing propane bottles, fuel tanks, drums and insulated pipe.Official guidance
What happens with an old refrigerator in State College?+
It can go to the county Transfer Station free of charge, because the Centre County Recycling and Refuse Authority accepts white goods from any county resident at no cost and names refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners and dehumidifiers. A borough household can also put the refrigerator on the bulk item list through 814-234-7135. Nothing retained here states whether the refrigerant has to be removed first, so ask at the scale house before the unit leaves the house.Official guidance
Who collects trash in State College?+
The borough does. Residential refuse collection runs Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday depending on the address, with the day set when the account is opened through the Borough Finance Department, and each household gets a Borough cart. Organics ride the green-lidded cart, red-bin recycling is collected by the Centre County Recycling and Refuse Authority on the same day, and anything that does not fit goes beside the cart in a container, except during the leaf season when brush and loose leaves follow their own routes.Official guidance
How does a bulk item appointment work?+
Bulk refuse is collected by appointment on a run that starts Monday each week unless a Monday holiday cancels it. The request has to be in by five in the afternoon on Sunday, by form or on 814-234-7135, the items go to the curb by 6 am and no more than 48 hours early, and no more than three items may be put out at once. Refrigerators, stoves, washing machines and furniture are named as collected, and building materials, tree limbs and anything over 40 pounds or too large to handle are refused.Official guidance
Which appliances are taken free?+
All the white goods on the authority list: air conditioners and dehumidifiers, clothes washing and drying machines, dishwashers, metal pots and pans, furnaces and electrical heaters, water heaters, refrigerators and freezers, stoves, ovens, microwaves and helium tanks. They are accepted at the Transfer Station from any Centre County resident for no charge, while sealed units such as propane bottles, medical lab machinery, gasoline and fuel tanks, drums, barrels, paint cans, tar buckets, insulated pipe and lighting fixtures are refused.Official guidance
