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 Freon recovery before processing — the $25 recycling fee covers this. 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 Cape Coral residents choose Dropcurb for appliance removal
Quarterly district pickups mean 3-month waits for many residents. $79 for immediate service beats the district lottery and costs less than facility trips requiring truck rental and loading.
