The county publishes a full appliance list, from a free appliance yard in Spanaway that takes refrigerators at no cost to the transfer stations and recyclers that charge for refrigerant units.
City cost & eligibility
From $30 for for an appliance containing refrigerant at Better PC Recycle, with $65 at the Hidden Valley and Purdy transfer stations and no charge at Appliance NW, which takes all appliances including refrigerators at no cost. Residents of Pierce County using the listed routes; Calbag Metals and Radius Recycling take metal appliances, with refrigerators and freezers needing their compressors removed at Calbag, and McClendon Hardware takes hot water heaters only.
When & how
Choose from the published routes: Appliance NW at 20015 Mountain Highway E. in Spanaway, Better PC Recycle at 2608 104th St Ct S in Lakewood, Calbag Metals in Tacoma, Radius Recycling in Tacoma, or the Hidden Valley Transfer Station in Puyallup.
Get it ready
Empty and clean the unit, secure or remove the doors, and confirm whether the unit holds refrigerant first because that decides the route and the charge: free at Appliance NW, a charge at Better PC Recycle, and a higher charge at the transfer stations, while Calbag requires compressors to be removed before it will take a refrigerator or freezer.
South Hill is unincorporated, so there is no municipal collection contract. Pierce County publishes the franchise areas and tells residents to contact their hauler directly for billing, a smaller garbage cart or service setup. LeMay Pierce County Refuse covers Graham west of Highway 160 and Meridian, Midland, Parkland, Spanaway, and the Puyallup zip codes 98373 south of 112th Street and 98375, while Murrey's Disposal covers Graham east of Highway 160 and Meridian plus the Puyallup zip codes 98371, 98372, 98373 north of 112th Street and 98374. The county's own tip is to keep the cart clear of cars and other objects, because a cart that is too close may not be collected at all.
Residents can take garbage, recycling and yard waste to six county transfer stations and drop boxes, and the Hidden Valley station at 17925 Meridian Ave E in Puyallup is open seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 5:45 p.m. taking garbage, yard waste, recycling, e-waste and motor oil. The rates effective March 1 2026 put a garbage load at the Hidden Valley, Prairie Ridge and Purdy stations at a minimum charge for 400 pounds or less and a per ton rate above that, with Washington State's 3.6 percent refuse tax added. Appliances and other unusual items can cost more, credit and debit are preferred with cash accepted and cheques refused, and any load containing noxious weeds or invasive species such as blackberries or ivy carries an extra fee. Commercial customers may only use Hidden Valley, Purdy or the Tacoma centre.
Appliances and chemicals have their own published routes
The county publishes a page of appliance routes rather than one answer. Appliance NW at 20015 Mountain Highway E. in Spanaway takes all appliances at no cost including refrigerators, Better PC Recycle in Lakewood takes washers, dryers, microwaves and stoves and charges a fee for units with refrigerants, Calbag Metals and Radius Recycling in Tacoma take metal appliances with Calbag requiring compressors to be removed before it takes a refrigerator or freezer, McClendon Hardware takes hot water heaters only, and the Hidden Valley and Purdy transfer stations charge a higher fee for appliances with refrigerants. Hazardous waste is free at Hidden Valley on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. and at the Tacoma centre Friday to Monday from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., covering aerosols, cleaners, antifreeze, automotive fluids, batteries, cooking oil up to 5 gallons, gasoline up to 5 gallons, motor oil up to 5 quarts, oil based paints, paint thinner, pesticides, fluorescent bulbs and pool chemicals.
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 South Hill.
How much does appliance removal cost in South Hill?+
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 South Hill?+
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 does a South Hill refrigerator get recycled?+
The county publishes several appliance routes. Appliance NW at 20015 Mountain Highway E. in Spanaway takes all appliances at no cost including refrigerators, Better PC Recycle in Lakewood takes washers, dryers, microwaves and stoves and charges a fee for appliances with refrigerants, Calbag Metals and Radius Recycling in Tacoma take metal appliances with Calbag requiring compressors removed from refrigerators and freezers, and the Hidden Valley and Purdy transfer stations charge a higher fee for units with refrigerants.
