Does Costco haul away old washers and dryers?

Costco can haul away an old washer and dryer when each is covered by an eligible like-for-like replacement appliance delivery in a participating area and the units are ready at delivery. The program is one-for-one, so buying only a washer does not normally include removal of the old dryer. Gas or specialty installations may require a separate appointment or professional disconnection before pickup.

Confirm the replacement order covers both units

Check that the order includes both a washer and a dryer replacement. Costco’s haul-away condition is one old like item per replacement, so a washer-only order should not be treated as removal for the dryer too.

Also confirm that the service is available in your area and that both old units will be ready when delivery occurs.

Handle disconnection before delivery

Basic-hookup replacement appliances can generally be removed at delivery. Gas appliances and other specialty installations may need a separate installation appointment, while items that cannot be installed through the available service may need to be professionally uninstalled and ready for pickup.

Before scheduling, identify whether the dryer is gas or electric and ask Costco what preparation applies to your exact order. Do not assume the delivery crew will disconnect an appliance that requires specialized work.

If Costco will not remove both appliances

If the purchase-linked program does not cover the second unit, the units are not ready for delivery, or the order is not eligible in your area, arrange removal separately. Keep the washer and dryer accessible and confirm whether the chosen service accepts each item before pickup.

For an extra machine outside the delivery order, compare free washer-and-dryer pickup options and their conditions.

When Dropcurb fits

Dropcurb can collect an extra washer or dryer that is not covered by a replacement delivery. Have each appliance safely disconnected, outside and accessible before pickup. Select the washer and dryer separately; loading, transportation and disposal are included.

Frequently asked questions

Will Costco take both old units if I buy only a washer?

Usually no. Costco’s haul-away rule is one old like item per eligible replacement, so buying only a washer does not normally cover the old dryer. Confirm the exact order and delivery eligibility with Costco.
