Old appliances are named on the city's acceptable bulky list, so a washer, stove or refrigerator leaves on the regular collection day once the pickup is paid for. Spruce Up Weeks cover appliances too, and the city names refrigerators, freezers, stoves, hot water heaters, air conditioners, washers and dryers as the white goods collected then.
City cost & eligibility
$10 for for a scheduled bulky pickup covering up to two items, with each additional appliance at five dollars and payment taken in advance. Salisbury residents who book and pay by 2:30 p.m. the day before the collection; appliances are also collected at no charge during a Spruce Up Week.
When & how
Call Public Works the day before at the latest to schedule and pay, then put the appliance at the curb by 7 a.m. on the collection day.
Get it ready
Empty the appliance, keep it upright, tape or tie the doors and cords, and keep it clear of the cart, mailbox and poles so the bulky truck can reach it.
Garbage and yard waste are collected every week and recycling every other week, all on the same weekday, and the carts go to the roadside by 7 a.m. and come back in by midnight. Put the cart within two feet of the roadside with the handle facing the house, leave three feet between it and anything else such as another cart, a mailbox or a pole, and keep it out of the street. Garbage is bagged inside the green city cart, and regular collection runs on every holiday except Christmas.
Anything outside the city cart is a booked bulky item
The city treats every item left outside its issued cart as bulky, so a piece of furniture or a bagged load needs a scheduled pickup and prepayment before 2:30 p.m. the day before the collection day. A separate truck handles the bulky stop on the same day as the normal collection, and the fee schedule covers up to two items with extra charges for additional items and for each extra bag or box. Bookings taken after the cut off wait a week.
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 Salisbury.
How much does appliance removal cost in Salisbury?+
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 Salisbury?+
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.
How do I get rid of an appliance in Salisbury?+
Book a bulky item pickup with Public Works and pay in advance, then put the appliance at the curb by 7 a.m. on your regular collection day. Old appliances are on the city's acceptable bulky list, and during a Spruce Up Week appliances are collected at no charge.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Salisbury?+
The city does, through the Public Works Department and its Public Services division. Garbage goes in the green city cart the household is issued, recycling goes in a blue cart the city bought from Republic Services and marks with a City of Salisbury seal, and yard waste goes out the same day. Garbage and yard waste are collected every week and recycling every other week, all on the same weekday, with the recycling dates on the city Recycling Calendar, and a separate truck handles scheduled bulky items.Official guidance
Does Salisbury collect trash on holidays?+
Yes. Regular garbage collection runs on every holiday except Christmas, so the weekly schedule holds through most of the year, and carts still go out by 7 a.m. on the normal collection day.Official guidance
When are the Salisbury Spruce Up Weeks?+
Four times a year, for residents inside the city limits. The 2026 weeks are January 5 to 9, April 6 to 10, July 13 to 17 and October 5 to 9, with items at the curb before 7 a.m. on the regular collection day, appliances and up to five tires without rims included and no charge.Official guidance
