Finish the replacement
The old machines can stop taking up space.
The replacement set is coming. One machine has stopped working. Or the laundry room is the last part of a move to sort out. Give the old washer or dryer a pickup of its own, with a price you can check now and updates until it is gone.

Keeping one? Add only the machine that is going.
Washing machine
Use Washing machine for a household front-load or top-load washer. Compact portable washing machines have a separate choice in All appliances. Empty the drum and arrange safe disconnection before pickup.
Clothes dryer
Use Dryer for a household gas or electric clothes dryer. Have gas, power and vent connections safely disconnected before moving it. Use a qualified professional when needed, especially for gas or hardwired connections.
Stacked or combined units
A separate washer and dryer count as two even when stacked. Arrange any separation before pickup. If yours is one combined machine or a connected laundry center, send a model photo before booking so we can confirm the correct scope.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Washer & dryer removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Washington.
How much does washer and dryer removal cost in Washington?+
A household washing machine is $109 as a single item, and a household dryer is $109. For two machines, the highest first-item price applies once and the other uses its additional-item price. Select both to see the exact total. Loading, transportation and disposal are included in the item prices; applicable sales tax is shown before payment.
Can you remove just a washer or just a dryer?+
Yes. Add only the machine that is going. A household front-load or top-load washer uses Washing machine, and a gas or electric clothes dryer uses Dryer. If both are leaving, add one of each. Compact portable washers have their own catalog choice.
Can I book same-day washer and dryer pickup in Washington?+
Same-day pickup is available when you book by 2pm local time, where available. Checkout shows the dates and readiness time for your address. Arrange disconnection and outdoor access first. We text before arrival and send photos after pickup; an exact arrival appointment is not part of the booking.
Will you disconnect or unstack my washer and dryer?+
Arrange utility disconnection, unstacking and the move outside before pickup. Dropcurb loads and hauls away machines from an accessible ground-level outdoor spot. Gas, hardwired and plumbing connections may need a qualified professional. Contact us with a model photo if you have a combined unit or a connected laundry center.
How do I book a stacked washer and dryer?+
If they are two separate machines, add one Washing machine and one Dryer, and arrange for them to be separated and accessible outside before pickup. If they form one combined machine or connected laundry center, contact us with the model and a photo to confirm the scope before booking.
Can you take the old machines if the delivery company left them behind?+
Yes. Dropcurb pickup can be booked independently of a new appliance purchase. Choose the machines that are going and arrange their preparation and outdoor placement. If your replacement delivery is still ahead, first check whether the retailer already included old-appliance haul-away.
Where should washers and dryers go?+
DPW lists washers and dryers for Fort Totten and 311 bulk collection. They are household appliances, not items for the electronics event stream.Official guidance
Does DPW serve every Washington apartment building?+
No. Bulk service is for eligible DPW-served residences with up to three living units. Buildings with four or more units, condominiums, co-ops and commercial properties use private haulers; mixed-use buildings are also excluded from routine DPW trash service.Official guidance
What residency proof does Fort Totten require?+
Bring a DC driver's license, or another photo ID with a matching recent utility bill, residential lease or deed. The current station page gives the complete documentation and vehicle requirements.Official guidance
