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.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Refrigerator removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Providence.
How much does refrigerator removal cost in Providence?+
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 Providence?+
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.
Can Providence collect a refrigerator, washer, or dryer?+
Yes, for an eligible property receiving City residential service. Schedule the exact appliance through Waste Management before set-out. Buildings with more than six units must use the owner or manager's arrangement.Official guidance
What if my Providence building has more than six units?+
The City appointment route is not available to buildings with more than six units. Contact the property owner or manager for the building's bulky-item and appliance arrangement.Official guidance
