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 Asheville residents choose Dropcurb for appliance removal
Asheville's one-time-only bulk pickup doesn't help when you need regular disposal. The $25/cubic yard city rate with a 2-3 week wait makes Dropcurb's $79 same-day service the faster, simpler option. No driving to the Buncombe County Landfill, no scheduling an estimate with College HUNKS, no $150+ minimums from 1-800-GOT-JUNK.
