Does Dover pick up appliances?

Same-day junk removal in Dover, NH starts at $79 with Dropcurb. Dover has about 33,364 residents and active housing turnover across neighborhoods like Downtown Dover and Dover Point, so residents often need faster pickup than municipal schedules allow. Book online in about 60 seconds, leave items curbside, and get guaranteed upfront pricing with no in-home appointment.

City program details: Dover runs weekly curbside pickup through a bag-and-tag system. Bulky items require a $10 Dover tag per item, curb placement is required by 7:00 a.m. on pickup day, and standard curbside service excludes hazardous waste and construction/demolition debris.

Dover’s curbside system is practical but strict: regular pickup is weekly, bulky items need a paid city tag, items must be out by 7:00 a.m., and construction or hazardous materials are excluded from standard collection. When someone misses collection day, is moving on a deadline, or needs furniture gone now, those rules create delays that same-day private pickup solves.

Dropcurb picks up appliances same-day in Dover for $104 flat — no wait, no annual limits, no restrictions.

Dover’s bag-and-tag system is useful, but it is not built for urgent cleanout deadlines.

When bulky tags, weekly pickup cadence, and curbside timing windows collide with move-out or property deadlines, residents need an immediate backup. Dropcurb covers that gap with same-day curbside pickup, upfront pricing, and no in-home estimate step.

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 Dover residents choose Dropcurb for appliance removal
