Does Monroe pick up appliances?
Monroe is the Union County seat — a growing city of 36,397 where new subdivisions like Skybrook and Wellington sit alongside the historic downtown courthouse district. The city runs bi-weekly bulk waste collection, but 2-3 week waits and item exclusions create headaches for residents in this fast-expanding Charlotte suburb.
City program details: Bulk Waste Collection. Frequency: Bi-weekly. Wait: 2-3 weeks. Fees: Free for residents
Monroe straddles US-74 about 25 miles southeast of Charlotte. New construction in Skybrook, Wellington, and along Marshville Road drives constant move-in/move-out furniture churn. The Union County Landfill on Dickerson Boulevard accepts self-haul loads for $20-$40, but it is a 15-minute drive and requires your own truck.
Dropcurb picks up appliances same-day in Monroe for $104 flat — no wait, no annual limits, no restrictions.
Monroe grows faster than its bi-weekly bulk schedule can handle
New subdivisions generate move-in debris. Lease turnovers produce curb piles. The city bi-weekly program runs 2-3 weeks behind and excludes electronics and refrigerant appliances. Dropcurb fills the gap with same-day service.

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.
