City cost & eligibility
No charge. Royal Oak residential addresses under the tax funded collection program. Large metal items only; smaller metal items are directed to the regional authority.
When & how
Set the appliance out by 7 a.m. on the refuse day, two to three feet away from the regular refuse. Call the Department of Public Works the day before if the address is on a cul-de-sac, dead end, apartment or condominium complex.
Get it ready

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Royal Oak.
How much does appliance removal cost in Royal Oak?+
A full-size household refrigerator is $109 as a single item. A washing machine is $109, and a dryer is $109. Other appliances have their own catalog prices. Choose each item to see your exact total before booking; disposal and recycling costs are included in the item price.
Can I get same-day appliance pickup in Royal Oak?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Checkout shows the dates you can choose. Your pickup is scheduled for a day rather than an exact arrival appointment, and we text you before arrival. Have the appliance disconnected and ready outside by your pickup readiness time.
Can you take a washing machine and dryer in one pickup?+
Yes. Add one Washing machine and one Dryer so both units are included in the price. They are separate items, even when you bought them as a set. If yours is a single combined unit or the machines still need to be unstacked, contact us before booking to confirm the scope.
Will you disconnect my appliance or carry it out?+
Dropcurb picks up appliances that are already disconnected and accessible outside at ground level. Arrange uninstallation, utility disconnection and indoor carrying before pickup. Use a qualified professional for gas, hardwired or plumbing connections when needed. We handle loading and haul-away from the outdoor pickup spot.
Can I book if the delivery company did not take my old appliance?+
Yes. Dropcurb pickup is separate from buying or installing a replacement, so you can book removal on its own. Select the old appliance, choose a pickup day and arrange for it to be disconnected and accessible outside. If your new delivery is still ahead, confirm the retailer’s haul-away arrangements before booking a separate pickup.
Do refrigerator doors have to come off?+
Yes. The City states that refrigerators and similarly shaped appliances must have the doors removed and set to the side for safety under state law.Official guidance
Do I pay extra for a bulky pickup in Royal Oak?+
No. Refuse, recycling, yard waste and bulk collection are covered through city taxes for residential addresses, as long as the item is household material and is prepared within the published limits.Official guidance
What can never go to the curb?+
The City excludes tires, engines, transmissions, rear axles, liquids, explosives, flammable products, hazardous waste, needles and sharps, fluorescent and CFL bulbs, radioactive material, infectious material, asbestos, bricks, concrete and construction items.Official guidance
