Appliance Recycling in Memphis, Tennessee
Starting at $79. Additional items from $19.
Getting rid of an old refrigerator, washer, dryer, or stove comes down to five options: city bulk pickup (free but restricted), retailer haul-away (free–$50 with a new purchase), self-haul to a recycling center ($30–80), curbside pickup through Dropcurb ($134, same day), or traditional junk removal ($200–600+). Appliance disposal is more regulated than furniture because of refrigerants, oils, and heavy metals.

Does Memphis pick up appliances?
Junk removal in Memphis, TN starts at $79 with Dropcurb — same-day curbside pickup, no on-site estimates. Memphis runs free "Outside the Cart" bulk collection twice per month (1st+3rd or 2nd+4th week depending on your zone) on your regular collection day. But the program restricts appliances and electronics, and missing your bulk week means a 2-week wait for the next one.
City program details: Memphis Outside the Cart / Bulk Waste Collection. Frequency: twice per month (bi-monthly on 1st+3rd or 2nd+4th week, on regular collection day). Wait: up to 2 weeks for next scheduled day. Fees: free for city residents. Check collection calendar for blue-line bulk pickup weeks.

The city also operates Solid Waste Convenience Centers open Friday through Sunday, 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM for drop-off of bulk items. Shelby County Household Hazardous Waste Facility (6305 Haley Rd, Memphis 38134) accepts hazardous items Tuesdays and Saturdays — 100 lbs or 15 gallons per vehicle per month, one electronic item per household.

What happens to your appliance after pickup
Appliances are recycled at licensed facilities that specialize in handling refrigerants, compressor oils, and heavy metals. Refrigerators and freezers undergo certified refrigerant recovery before processing. Steel, copper, aluminum, and other metals are separated and sent to scrap processors. Compressors, motors, and wiring are individually processed. Appliances in working condition may be refurbished and resold or donated to organizations like Habitat for Humanity ReStore.
Why Memphis residents choose Dropcurb for appliance removal
Memphis's twice-monthly bulk service means waiting up to 2 weeks for your next collection day — and items left out early get code enforcement attention. Dropcurb picks up same-day at $79, handles electronics and appliances the city program restricts, and sends a photo when done.
Serving Midtown, Cooper-Young, Cordova, Downtown, East Memphis, Overton Park, and 4 more neighborhoods in Memphis.
