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.

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.
Traverse City has one hauler inside the city limits and no spring cleanup for large items, so an oversized piece leaves only after a scheduled appointment. Call GFL at (231) 943-8088, confirm the item and the charge, and set it out on the agreed day.
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.
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.

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
