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 High Point residents choose Dropcurb for appliance removal

High Point's free weekly pickup is solid for most bulky items — but it won't take contractor debris, and you can't control timing. When you need specific items removed on your schedule, Dropcurb's $79 same-day pickup fills the gap. At $55-$180 for local haulers, Dropcurb offers transparent per-item pricing with no in-home estimates.
