Will washer and dryer delivery include old appliance removal?

Sometimes, but it depends on the retailer, replacement order, location and item condition. Costco offers haul-away in selected areas for eligible appliances bought as like-for-like replacements; Lowe’s ties paid one-for-one haul-away to a replacement purchase; and Best Buy offers paid haul-away with or without a replacement purchase. Before ordering, confirm removal for both appliances, disconnect requirements, access or stairs, fees and timing.

What to confirm before you buy

Ask the delivery team these questions:

  1. 1.Will you remove both the old washer and dryer, or only one appliance per replacement?
  2. 2.Must each appliance be empty, unplugged and disconnected before delivery?
  3. 3.Who handles gas disconnection if the dryer is gas-powered?
  4. 4.Can the crew remove the appliances through your doors, hallways and stairs without disassembly?
  5. 5.Are removal charges included in this order, and when will the appliances be taken?

Have the appliances ready according to the retailer’s instructions. Do not assume delivery includes plumbing, electrical or gas work.

Use the retailer-specific details for Costco laundry haul-away, Lowe’s washer-and-dryer removal or Best Buy laundry pickup to check your actual order.

If the delivery order does not include removal

You can arrange a separate pickup for qualifying appliances. If you can move the washer and dryer outside yourself, they can be booked before they are outside, but both must be outdoors and accessible before pickup.

When Dropcurb fits

For accepted washers and dryers that you can place outside and make accessible, Dropcurb handles loading, transportation and disposal. Select the washing machine and dryer separately because they are separate items. Standard pickup does not include indoor carry-out; if you need someone to bring appliances out from inside, use a service that includes that labor.
