Salisbury Public Works runs monthly bulk routes, but scheduling depends on your zone. The Rowan County Landfill on Old Concord Road handles self-haul loads for $15-$25. Historic district homes on Fulton Heights and West End often have narrow driveways that make self-hauling difficult even with a truck.

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 Salisbury residents choose Dropcurb for appliance removal
Salisbury homeowners in the historic district face strict preservation standards — an old fridge sitting in a Fulton Heights driveway for 3 weeks draws code enforcement attention. Dropcurb picks up same-day for $79, keeping historic streetscapes clean.
