The two appliance families take different routes. Washers, dryers, stoves, water heaters and microwaves are directed to the scrap metal piles at the convenience centers, while a device that contains refrigerant is refused at the centers and has to go to a scrap metal company, to the city transfer station for a small fee, or to a clean out company.
City cost & eligibility
The convenience centers charge no fee for a non refrigerant appliance that goes into the scrap metal pile, but a refrigerant containing device is refused there and the county's three alternatives are priced elsewhere: a scrap metal company may buy the device for scrap value and may deduct a fee for refrigerant disposal, the City of Knoxville transfer station on Elm Street charges a small fee, and a clean out company charges for its service. Confirm the amount with the route you choose before the unit moves.
When & how
Take a non refrigerant appliance to a convenience center during posted hours and place it with the scrap metal, and arrange one of the three alternative routes for a unit that still contains refrigerant.
Get it ready
Empty the unit, and confirm before the trip whether it holds Freon or another chlorofluorocarbon, because the county states that federal rules on handling, evacuation and processing of refrigerant are why the centers cannot accept those devices from center users. The county names refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, ice makers, wine coolers and water coolers as the common household examples.
A washer, dryer, stove, water heater or microwave goes to the scrap metal pile at a center. A unit that still contains refrigerant does not: the centers refuse those devices and the county gives three options instead, a scrap metal company that may buy it for scrap value, the City of Knoxville transfer station on Elm Street where a small fee applies, or a waste clean out company. Confirm which appliance you have before loading.
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.
Take a refrigerant device to a scrap metal company
A household with a refrigerator, freezer, air conditioner, dehumidifier, ice maker, wine cooler or water cooler that the centers will not take.
Cost & conditions
The county states that a scrap metal company may buy the device for scrap value and may deduct a fee for the proper disposal of the refrigerant, and that there could be a charge if the device is small or has little or no metal value, so confirm the value and any deduction directly with the company.
Arrange it
Call the scrap metal company before hauling the unit, and expect the refrigerant handling to be reflected in what the yard pays or charges.
The device is refused at the convenience centers, the refund or charge depends on the metal value and on the refrigerant handling, and the county's other two options are the city transfer station on Elm Street and a waste clean out company.
Knox County Solid Waste with the City of Knoxville Household Hazardous Waste Facility
Use the City of Knoxville transfer station for a refrigerant device
A household that would rather pay a disposal fee than sell a refrigerant containing device for scrap.
Cost & conditions
The county states that there will be a small fee to drop the item off at the City of Knoxville transfer station on Elm Street and gives the number to call ahead, so confirm the current amount and the hours directly before the trip.
Arrange it
Call the transfer station number the county publishes, confirm the hours and the fee, then deliver the unit to the Elm Street address.
The route is a paid disposal rather than a free center drop off, the hours have to be confirmed, and appliances that do not contain refrigerant belong at the center scrap metal pile instead.
Scrap metal company the county lists for a refrigerant containing device

Not published on the county page, so call (865) 524-2791 before hauling the unit.
The county states that the value of the device and any refrigerant disposal deduction are set by the scrap metal company, so confirm both directly with the yard at (865) 524-2791.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Knoxville.
How much does appliance removal cost in Knoxville?+
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 Knoxville?+
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 washers, dryers and stoves go in Knoxville?+
To the scrap metal piles at a Knox County convenience center, because the county directs home appliances such as washers, dryers, stoves, water heaters and microwaves to scrap metal. There is no fee for a resident bringing their own material within the daily load limit. If the appliance still contains refrigerant, it is refused at the centers and has to go to a scrap metal company, to the city transfer station on Elm Street for a small fee, or to a clean out company.Official guidance
Why will a Knox County center not take a refrigerator?+
Because the unit contains refrigerant. The county states that devices which contained refrigerant are not accepted at the convenience centers, that the common examples are refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, ice makers, wine coolers and water coolers, and that federal rules on handling, evacuation and processing the refrigerant prevent the county from taking them from center users. The county lists three options: a scrap metal company that may buy the device for scrap value, the City of Knoxville transfer station at 1033 Elm Street where a small fee applies, or a waste clean out company.Official guidance
What does it cost to use the Knox County centers?+
Nothing for a Knox County resident bringing their own residential waste and recycling, because the county states there are no fees to use the convenience centers and that recycling is unlimited. Non recyclable household waste is limited to one standard pickup load per household per day. The routes that can cost money are a refrigerant containing device, which the centers refuse and which the county sends to a scrap metal company, to the city transfer station on Elm Street where a small fee applies, or to a clean out company, and household hazardous waste, whose facility the county says the city operates without publishing its fees.Official guidance
What will the Knox County centers not take?+
Business, contractor, rental property and commercial generator material, any load above one standard pickup per household per day, block, brick, dirt, gravel, sand, stone and shingles because they are too heavy or slow to unload, greenwaste which has to go to a greenwaste facility, boards or pieces longer than five feet, railroad ties, and waste from outside Knox County without a Knox plate or proof of residency. A device that contained refrigerant is refused too, and televisions are not recycled there because the county directs them into the blue trash containers.Official guidance
