A disconnected washing machine outside a ground-level doorway, with its plug resting on top and a clear path beside it.
Disconnected. Outside. Ready for its next stop.

The old one has a way out

One less loose end before the new one arrives.

A replacement is on its way. A broken washer is taking up space. Or the old fridge is the last thing left before a move. Give that appliance its own pickup plan, with a price you can see and a day you can choose.

Choose the appliance you have

A washer and dryer count as two.

Every appliance has its own catalog choice and price. Add only the items you want taken away, then review the exact total before booking.

Laundry appliances

Front-load and top-load washing machines use the washing machine choice. Add the dryer separately. Contact us about a single combined laundry unit or a stack that still needs separating.

Fridges and freezers

Choose Refrigerator for a full-size household fridge. Mini fridges and separate freezers have their own choices. Contact us first if the model or refrigerant needs checking.

Kitchen appliances

Stoves, dishwashers and microwaves are available in All appliances. Built-in units must already be detached and outside. Send a photo if your appliance does not match a listed choice.

Appliances & white goods

Accepted with preparation

White goods are on the contractor's accepted bulky item list, and GFL describes taking refrigerators, washers, dryers and water heaters from the home.

City cost & eligibility
No Traverse City price is published and the accepted list varies by branch, so confirm the charge and whether the specific unit is accepted before the pickup.
When & how
Call the branch to schedule the appliance pickup and set the unit out on the agreed day.
Get it ready
Empty the appliance and remove food and water. Keep appliances away from the county hazardous waste events, which do not accept them, and keep batteries and automotive fluids out of the pickup pile.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Use the county events only for what they accept

Household hazardous waste events are for Grand Traverse County residents, require an appointment, and take up to 150 pounds at no charge with a per-pound fee above that. Electronics and appliances are not accepted there, and tires only come in on specific dates.

Household hazardous waste events, limits and exclusions

For your Dropcurb pickup

Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.

Furniture and household goods that still work

Cost & conditions
No charge. No charge when a charity, buyer or neighbor takes the item; the contractor and the city both point residents to reuse before a paid haul.
Arrange it

Acceptance and any pickup arrangement are set by the organization you choose, not by the city or the hauler.

City trash and recycling page

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Self-hauling around Traverse City means two county sites and one contractor facility. Yard material and untreated wood go to the county brush site on North Keystone Road for a published per-yard price, sorted recyclables go to the county drop-off sites including the one at 2600 Lafranier, and the contractor transfer station on Hughes Drive handles loads the branch accepts. Problem waste waits for a county household hazardous waste event, which requires an appointment.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Traverse City.

How much does appliance removal cost in Traverse City?

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 Traverse City?

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.

Can I put a refrigerator out for pickup in Traverse City?

White goods are on the contractor's accepted bulky item list, and appliances are not accepted at the county hazardous waste events. Schedule the pickup with GFL at (231) 943-8088 and confirm the charge and the unit first.Official guidance

Who collects waste inside Traverse City?

GFL Environmental holds an exclusive contract for all waste hauling inside the city limits, and residents arrange yard waste and bulky item pickups by calling (231) 943-8088. The city no longer collects trash or bulk items during spring cleanup.Official guidance
