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.
Refrigerator removal prices
First item / additional item
Refrigerator$109 / $59
Mini fridge$79 / $29
Freezer$109 / $59
The highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.
Empty it. Arrange the move. Leave the loading to us.
Pickup starts at an accessible outdoor spot at ground level. We load and haul away; you arrange any uninstallation, utility disconnection and indoor carrying first.
You can book before the fridge is outside. If it is still installed, upstairs or in a basement, arrange that part of the move before your pickup day.
Remove food and empty the freezer. Follow the manufacturer’s preparation guidance, including defrosting if needed. Have any water supply safely disconnected before moving; use a qualified professional when needed. Leave refrigerant handling to a qualified professional.

Prepare a safe outdoor handoff
Arrange help to move the fridge outside by the pickup readiness time. Follow the manufacturer’s disposal safety guidance so children cannot become trapped, and check local set-out rules before leaving it for collection.

Make the right fridge easy to find
Use a permitted ground-level outdoor spot with a clear path. Add a location photo and entrance notes to your booking. Keep any appliances that are staying separate.
You’re in the loop. Until it’s gone.
Confirmation when you book. A heads-up before arrival. Photos when it’s done.
A replacement purchase, a municipal program and a separately booked pickup can have different preparation requirements. Check the route you plan to use before moving the fridge.
If a new fridge is on its way, check whether the retailer included removal of the old one and what preparation it requires. Dropcurb can be booked separately when you need an outdoor pickup of its own.
Keep refrigerant handling with a professional
Refrigerators and freezers need appropriate disposal handling. Ask about the appliance model and refrigerant before collection if anything is unclear. Do not remove refrigerant yourself. Send us the label before booking if it identifies R600a or R32.
Use the instructions for your address
Municipal acceptance, appointments and set-out rules vary. Confirm the appliance type and collection process with your local program. For Dropcurb, arrange preparation and an accessible ground-level outdoor spot; checkout shows available dates for your address.
Dropcurb serves all 50 states and Washington, DC, through local service providers. You can book even if your city is not listed. These guides cover outdoor pickup and local collection resources; checkout shows available pickup dates for your address.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Refrigerator removal, from choosing your item to pickup day.
How much does refrigerator removal cost?+
A full-size household refrigerator is $109 as a single item, a mini fridge is $79, and a separate household freezer is $109. For several items, the highest first-item price applies once and the rest use their additional-item prices. Your exact total is shown before booking, with applicable sales tax shown before payment.
Will Dropcurb carry my old fridge out of the kitchen?+
Pickup starts outside at ground level. Arrange indoor carrying, uninstallation and any water-line disconnection first. Once the refrigerator is prepared at your accessible outdoor spot, Dropcurb handles loading, transportation and disposal. Text a setup photo if you are unsure about access.
What fridge or freezer should I choose?+
Use Refrigerator for a full-size household fridge, including an attached freezer compartment. Use Mini fridge for a compact household unit. A separate household chest or upright freezer uses Freezer. Commercial refrigerators have a separate catalog choice; contact us about unusual models or handling requirements.
How do I prepare an old refrigerator for pickup?+
Empty the food and contents, follow the manufacturer’s preparation instructions and arrange any disconnection and move outside. Follow disposal safety guidance so children cannot become trapped, and check local set-out rules. Do not attempt refrigerant removal yourself. Send the model and refrigerant label before booking if handling requirements are unclear or the label identifies R600a or R32.
Is same-day refrigerator pickup available?+
Book by 2pm local time for same-day pickup, where available. Checkout confirms dates and the readiness time for your pickup address. Have the refrigerator prepared and accessible outside by that time. We text before arrival and send photos after pickup; the service is booked for a day rather than an exact arrival appointment.
Do I need to buy a new refrigerator to book removal?+
No. Dropcurb pickup is independent of buying a replacement. If you are ordering a new fridge, first check whether old-appliance haul-away is already included. You can book a separate outdoor pickup with Dropcurb when you need one.
One less thing on your list
Give the old fridge its pickup day.
Choose your items, see your exact price and select a pickup day for your address. We keep you updated through the outdoor pickup, with photos afterward.
