New fridge arriving? Leave the old one at the curb and it can be gone today. See the exact price, book by 2pm for same-day pickup and get updates through pickup.
One old fridge, an outdoor handoff and a clear way forward.
The replacement is only half the plan
Your old fridge needs a way out.
The new fridge is ordered, but taking the old one away was not included. Or it stopped cooling and you are ready to move on. Book the removal as its own job, with a price before you commit and a pickup day you can plan around.
A price for your actual fridge.
Full-size fridge, mini fridge or separate freezer: choose the right item and see its catalog price immediately. Add anything else that is going to see the total.
A pickup day of its own.
Book by 2pm local time for same-day pickup, where available, or choose a future date. Arrange the outdoor move around the readiness time shown at checkout.
An update when it is on its way out.
Get booking confirmation, a text before arrival and photos after the pickup. Your pickup page keeps the next step easy to find.
An attached freezer compartment is part of the refrigerator. A separate freezer is another appliance. The catalog choices keep that distinction clear before you book.
Full-size household refrigerator
Top-freezer, bottom-freezer, side-by-side and French-door household fridges use Refrigerator. A built-in fridge must already be uninstalled and outside. Ask us about unusual size or construction before choosing.
Mini fridge or separate freezer
Choose Mini fridge for a compact household unit. Choose Freezer for a separate household chest or upright freezer. Add one item for each appliance that is going.
Check unusual equipment first
Commercial refrigerators have a separate catalog choice. Send the model and a photo if you are unsure about the unit or its refrigerant. A standard household selection is not a quote for a commercial or walk-in system.

A refrigerator, freezer, air conditioner or dehumidifier has a per appliance rate at every Orange County transfer station, and it can also go on the city bulk appointment with the doors removed.
City cost & eligibility
$15 each air conditioner, refrigerator, freezer or dehumidifier at an Orange County transfer station. Charged at any of the three county transfer stations. The city bulk appointment carries its own unpublished charge instead, so compare the two before choosing.
When & how
Bring the unit to a county transfer station on a weekday or Saturday morning, or book the city bulk appointment through Public Works. A single appliance is a scale item at the county, and the Household Drop-Off Area at Newburgh takes it while the bulk area there stays closed.
Get it ready
Empty the unit, remove the doors so a child cannot be trapped, and keep any refrigerant recovery to the receiving operation instead of venting or draining the system. Keep the appliance out of both carts.
Pay and book the bulk pickup before anything goes out
Bulk trash is a charged appointment, and the city books it at the Public Works office at 16 James Street once the charge is paid. Remove the doors from an appliance first, and never leave the item at the curb while waiting to book, because city code only allows garbage or receptacles at the curb when they are set out for collection. A load past a single axle dump truck is still collected but billed for the extra on time and material.
An Orange County transfer station prices each stream separately, so separate solid waste, construction and demolition debris, yard waste, scrap metal, tires and appliances before arriving. Every load is weighed or counted at the station scale, Transfer Station 1 in New Hampton is the only site for construction debris and yard waste, and Newburgh is running its Citizens Drop-Off Area only, so confirm which station takes the load and how it is paid for before driving.
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.

Book the charged city bulk trash collection
A Middletown household with a couch, a mattress, furniture or a cooling appliance that should not go in a cart.
Cost & conditions
The city states that a charge applies to any bulk trash collected and takes the appointment once it is paid, but publishes no figure, so call Public Works on 845-343-3169 for the current charge.
Arrange it
Pay the charge and book the appointment at the Public Works office, 16 James Street, then set the item out for the arranged day with the doors removed from any appliance.
Electronics, car parts, tires, stones, dirt, construction debris, fuel oil, propane tanks, paint and hazardous materials are excluded. A load larger than a single axle dump truck is billed for the extra on time and material.

Take the load to an Orange County transfer station
A household with construction material, yard waste, tires, scrap metal, electronics or a bulky item the city will not collect.
Cost & conditions
From $20 for the minimum charge for a solid waste or construction and demolition load of up to 295 pounds, with separate published rates for yard waste, scrap metal, appliances, tires and bags. Charged at the county scale. Resident recycling, electronics, motor oil, antifreeze and car batteries are free, and every other stream is weighed or counted on its own before it is priced.
Arrange it
Drive to Transfer Station 1 at 21 Training Center Lane in New Hampton, Transfer Station 2 at 9 Orr Avenue in Newburgh or Transfer Station 3 at 86 Tow Path Road in Port Jervis, all open Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to noon.
The Newburgh station is running its Citizens Drop-Off Area only and is not taking construction and demolition debris, yard waste or bulk waste, so those loads go to New Hampton or Port Jervis. Household bagged garbage is charged per bag at the scale, and the streams are priced separately.
Construction and demolition debris from home improvement projects, trees and stumps, yard waste, solid waste such as furniture and mattresses that is not in a bag, scrap metal, air conditioners and refrigerators, tires, electronics and free resident recycling.
This is the county station for the streams Newburgh is not taking, so construction material and yard waste arrive here rather than at Orr Avenue. Each stream is priced separately at the scale, household bagged garbage is charged per bag, and electronics are limited to two televisions or monitors per visit with a call ahead for ten or more items.
Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to noon. Phone 845-291-2640 or 845-291-2664.
From $20 for the minimum charge for a solid waste or construction and demolition load of up to 295 pounds, with yard waste at its own minimum and rate, scrap metal at its own minimum and rate, and appliances charged per unit.

Household bagged garbage, commingled recyclables such as bottles, cans, jugs and foil, mixed paper, tires, electronics, empty propane tanks, scrap metal, air conditioners, refrigerators and freezers, motor oil, antifreeze and car batteries.
The bulk and receiving area is closed for site improvements, so construction and demolition debris, yard waste and bulk waste such as a mattress, furniture or a dishwasher are not being taken here and have to go to Transfer Station 1. Tipping rates apply to the household bagged garbage.
Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to noon. Phone 845-291-2640 or 845-291-2664.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Refrigerator removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Middletown.
How much does refrigerator removal cost in Middletown?+
A full-size household refrigerator is $109 as a single item. A mini fridge is $79, and a separate household freezer is $109. If you have more items, the highest first-item price applies once and the others use their additional-item prices. The item price includes loading, transportation and disposal; applicable sales tax is shown before payment.
Can I get same-day fridge pickup in Middletown?+
Book by 2pm local time for same-day pickup, where available. Checkout shows your available dates and pickup readiness time. The fridge must be prepared and accessible outside by that time. We text before arrival and send photos after pickup; the booking is for a day rather than a precise arrival appointment.
Is the freezer compartment a second item?+
No. The freezer compartment attached to a household refrigerator is part of that refrigerator. A separate chest or upright freezer is its own appliance and should be added separately. Compact household refrigerators use the Mini fridge choice.
Will you remove a refrigerator from inside my home?+
Dropcurb picks up from an accessible ground-level outdoor spot. Arrange any indoor carrying, stairs, uninstallation and water-line disconnection before pickup. Once it is prepared outside, we handle loading and haul-away. Text us a photo of the outdoor setup if you are unsure about access.
Can you collect the old fridge if I bought the new one elsewhere?+
Yes. You can book refrigerator removal on its own, independently of a purchase or delivery. If your new fridge has not arrived yet, check whether the retailer already included old-appliance haul-away. For a separate Dropcurb pickup, arrange preparation and outdoor placement before the readiness time shown at checkout.
Do I need to remove the refrigerant before pickup?+
Do not attempt to remove refrigerant yourself. Send us the model and refrigerant label if handling requirements are unclear, or the label identifies R600a or R32, so we can confirm whether your appliance can be handled before you book. Refrigerant work belongs with a qualified professional. A catalog listing alone does not confirm every appliance model or refrigerant.
What does Middletown or Orange County charge for a refrigerator?+
Orange County charges one flat rate per appliance at all three transfer stations for an air conditioner, refrigerator, freezer or dehumidifier, which is separate from the weight based solid waste rate. The city bulk appointment also takes a cooling appliance but requires the doors to be removed and carries its own unpublished charge.Official guidance
How does Middletown collect garbage and bulky items?+
Garbage rides the weekly ward run in a city green cart and recycling rides the Friday run in a city blue cart, both with the city's set out window. A bulky item is not part of either run: it is a charged appointment booked at the Public Works office at 16 James Street on 845-343-3169, and cooling appliances go on that appointment only with their doors removed.Official guidance
