The city calls old appliances and large metal items white goods, and they go out separately at the curb on the collection day. The county's scrap metal zone takes household appliances such as refrigerators as well.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. White goods and large metal items are collected on the regular residential route and the city publishes no per-item fee for them; the county scrap metal zone takes household appliances from residents.
When & how
Separately at the curb on the regularly scheduled trash collection day, or at a county convenience center during staffed hours.
Get it ready
Drain a hot water heater before it goes out, and remove or secure the doors on a refrigerator or freezer along with any drawers, because the city will not pick up white goods unless the doors or drawers are removed. Keep the appliance in its own pile instead of mixing it into the trash.
A refrigerator or freezer is a white good in Charleston, and the city's rule for it is the door: the unit is not picked up unless the doors and drawers are removed or secured. The county takes the same units in the scrap metal zone at a convenience center.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. A refrigerator or freezer is collected as a white good on the regular residential route with no published city fee, and the county scrap metal zone takes household appliances such as refrigerators from residents.
When & how
Out separately at the curb on the collection day, or dropped at a county convenience center during staffed hours.
Get it ready
Empty the unit, remove or secure the doors, and keep it separate from the rest of the pile. A refrigerator or freezer that still has its doors on will be left at the curb.
Doors and drawers come off before a bulk item goes out
Bulk items and white goods go out in their own pile at the curb or the edge of the pavement on the collection day, not mixed with bagged garbage. Doors and drawers have to be removed where they apply, because the city states that no white goods are picked up unless all doors or drawers are removed, and the city asks for a call to 724-7364 before an entire household of items is placed out.
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.
City of Charleston Department of Public Service, Environmental Services Division
Bulk and white goods on the scheduled trash day
A household with a couch, a mattress, a refrigerator, a water heater or another large piece that the garbage cart will not take.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Bulk items and white goods are part of the city's regularly scheduled residential collection and the city publishes no per-item fee for them. The city does publish charges for an extra garbage cart.
Arrange it
Set the bulk items in their own pile at the curb or the edge of the pavement on the regularly scheduled trash collection day, with doors and drawers removed, and call 724-7364 before an entire household of items goes out.
One collection day a week, no doors or drawers left on white goods, and refused material such as tires, paint, batteries, concrete, carpet and construction or renovation debris has to go to a county site.
City of Charleston Department of Public Service, Environmental Services Division
Take the load to a county convenience center
A household with electronics, appliances, tires, paint, batteries, furniture, a mattress or construction debris that the city route will not take.
Cost & conditions
The county lists what residents may bring to a staffed convenience center but publishes no per-item charge for the drop-off, while the Bees Ferry Landfill scale charges $100 per ton for municipal solid waste and $150 per ton for tires, so confirm the current position on 843-720-7111.
Arrange it
Take the separated load to a staffed Charleston County convenience center during its hours, with rims removed from tires and tanks emptied and left with staff, and check in at the site.
Charleston County residents only, a maximum of four tires with rims removed and no commercial tires, electronics limited to household computers, monitors, printers and televisions, Signal Point Road takes no household garbage, yard waste, construction debris, scrap metal, appliances or propane tanks, and the construction zone refuses bricks, cement, shingles and stucco.
Most self-haul loads from Charleston go to a Charleston County convenience center, where staffed sites take, from county residents, household garbage, recyclables, household computers, monitors, printers and televisions, paint, batteries, light bulbs, motor oil and cooking oil, scrap metal and appliances such as refrigerators, up to four tires with rims removed, construction and demolition debris with furniture, carpet, mattresses, sheetrock and wood under four feet, and household hazardous material, with used gasoline only at the Bees Ferry center. The county's own zone rules refuse bricks, cement, stucco, shingles, tires inside the construction zone, boats, cars and hazardous waste there, and the Signal Point Road site is not full service. Behind the centers is the Bees Ferry Road Landfill at the same address, where the scale charges municipal solid waste by the ton and tires by the ton and refuses construction and demolition waste from private or commercial haulers, and yard waste goes to the compost facility next door. The city route stays the cheaper option for a couch, a mattress, a refrigerator or a pile of household junk, because those ride the regular trash collection day.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Charleston.
How much does appliance removal cost in Charleston?+
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 Charleston?+
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 has to be done to a refrigerator before Charleston takes it?+
The doors come off, or at least get secured, along with any drawers, because the city states that no white goods are picked up unless all doors or drawers are removed. The appliance also goes out separately from the trash rather than inside the pile of household junk, and a hot water heater has to be drained first.Official guidance
Will Charleston collect a refrigerator from the curb?+
Yes, as a white good on the regularly scheduled trash collection day, provided the doors and drawers are removed or secured and the unit goes out separately from the rest of the trash. A refrigerator that still has its doors on will not be taken. The county's scrap metal zone also accepts household appliances from residents.Official guidance
Who collects garbage and trash in Charleston?+
The City of Charleston Environmental Services Division runs curbside garbage once a week, trash and yard waste once a week on a separate pile, and the bulk and white goods stream on the regularly scheduled trash collection day. The county does not collect garbage at all: it runs the landfill, the convenience centers and the hazardous waste programme. City service questions go to Citizen Services at 843-724-7311, and bulk scheduling questions go to 724-7364.Official guidance
What will Charleston not take at the curb?+
Hazardous waste such as paint, auto fluids, batteries and pool chemicals, along with concrete, dirt, sod, sand, plaster, carpet, construction and renovation debris, tires and hot ashes, are not single-family curbside waste. Electronics are refused as well, and paint cans are accepted only when the paint is completely dry inside the can. Those items go to a staffed Charleston County convenience center instead.Official guidance
