Who buys old washers and dryers?

Send clear photos and the model, age and condition to a local buyer. Working, complete appliances with little rust and no mold smell are more likely to qualify; major missing parts, heavy rust, pests or no resale value can lead to rejection. Confirm the buyer’s service area and pickup before moving the appliance.

SA Recycling lists washers and dryers among metal household appliances it buys. Contact the specific yard to confirm that it accepts your appliance, ask for current pricing and verify whether household pickup is available. Metal values and pickup terms can change, so do not assume a quoted rate applies at every yard.

If no buyer gives you a worthwhile net offer, or you cannot manage the loading and transport, paid removal can be the simpler option. If you can move the appliance outside yourself, you can book pickup before doing so, but the accepted item must be outside and accessible before collection.

Dropcurb does not buy washers or dryers; it provides paid removal. For an accepted washing machine or clothes dryer already outside and accessible, Dropcurb handles loading, transportation and disposal. Standard pickup requires an accessible outdoor location, and indoor carry-out is not available, so arrange that move before pickup if you choose this option.
