Appliances, refrigerators and metal goods

Accepted with preparation

Appliances are recycled rather than buried: the county recycling list names washing machines, dryers, refrigerators, air conditioners and hot water tanks among the metal goods that can be recycled, and the hauler handles metal recycling with rates quoted by phone.

City cost & eligibility
From $25 for the in county appliance line on the transfer station rate sheet the county publishes, at $25.00 for an appliance holding refrigerant, with that item not accepted from out of county customers and with the sheet's footnote stating that a refrigerant appliance is charged the removal fee plus the disposal fee by ton. Cowlitz County residents at the transfer station. Metal appliances without refrigerant go with the metal recycling stream instead, and the hauler quotes those rates on 360-425-4302, while the sheet adds the 3.6 percent refuse collection tax to every charge.
When & how
Arrange a bulk pick up with the hauler or take the unit to the transfer station at 1150 3rd Avenue, and confirm the gate charge on 360-425-4302 before hauling because the published rate sheet is dated 2025.
Get it ready
Empty and defrost a refrigerator or freezer and secure the doors and shelves for the trip. Treat a unit holding refrigerant as a separate priced item rather than as ordinary metal, and keep smaller appliances out of the recycling cart so the recycling load stays clean.

Scrap metal and metal goods

Accepted with preparation

Metal is recycled through the hauler, which quotes its metal recycling rates by phone, and the county recycling list names the metal goods it takes, from cans and foil through to large appliances.

City cost & eligibility
The hauler's recycling guide tells customers to call the office for current metal recycling rates instead of publishing a table, so confirm the price on 360-425-4302 before loading. Metal dropped at a county recycling site follows that site's own rules rather than a city rate.
When & how
Call the hauler to arrange metal recycling or delivery to the transfer station, and use the county disposal and recycling map to find an alternative drop site.
Get it ready
Keep metal separate from household garbage so it can be recycled rather than buried, drain and empty anything that held fuel or oil, and keep refrigerant appliances out of a scrap metal load because they are priced and handled separately.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Large items are booked, not set out

Furniture and home appliances move through the hauler's bulk pick up, arranged in advance on 360-425-4302, or they travel to the transfer station at 1150 3rd Avenue, which takes waste from any county and prices the load at the gate. An appliance holding refrigerant is priced on its own line with the removal fee added, so it should be described when booking or confirmed at the scale rather than mixed into an ordinary load.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Scrap metal removal, from your photo request to the pickup plan in Longview.

How do I request a scrap metal pickup quote?

Text photos to (844) 879-0892 with your ZIP code, approximate amount and access details. Show the whole pile and a closer view of the material. Our team will confirm the scope, quote and scheduling.

Do you buy scrap metal or pick it up for free?

This is a request for a paid removal quote, not a scrap-buying or free-collection offer. If you want to sell metal, ask a local recycler about its accepted materials and delivery requirements.

How much does scrap metal removal cost?

This service uses a custom quote. Send photos, the approximate amount, your ZIP code and access details. Our team confirms the scope and price before booking; there is no fixed-price catalog item for this pile.

Can you collect it today?

Tell our team your preferred day when you request the quote. Timing depends on the material, amount and access, and is confirmed with your quote. Sending photos does not reserve same-day pickup.

What happens to a Longview refrigerator?

It is recycled as metal rather than buried, since the county recycling list names refrigerators, air conditioners, washers, dryers and hot water tanks among the appliances that can be recycled. A unit holding refrigerant is priced as its own line on the transfer station rate sheet, is not accepted from out of county customers, and the sheet notes that the refrigerant removal fee is charged on top of the disposal fee by ton. Confirm the current charge on 360-425-4302 before hauling, because the published sheet is dated 2025.Official guidance

Where does Longview scrap metal go?

To the hauler's metal recycling stream, since the hauler's guide says to call the office on 360-425-4302 for current metal recycling rates rather than publishing a price list. The county recycling list covers metal lids, tin and aluminium cans, aluminium foil and scraps, and large metal appliances such as washers, dryers, refrigerators, air conditioners and hot water tanks, and the county disposal and recycling map shows the drop sites. Keep metal separate from garbage and keep a refrigerant appliance out of a scrap load.Official guidance

What does clearing a house cost in Longview?

Curbside garbage and recycling are bundled into the utility account rather than billed per item, and a bulk pick up for furniture or appliances is quoted for the load when it is booked on 360-425-4302. A load taken to the transfer station is priced at the gate from the rate sheet the county publishes, with a minimum charge per load, garbage by the ton, tires by the piece, a refrigerant appliance on its own line and an added 3.6 percent refuse collection tax. Dropcurb prices a booking separately with the total shown before payment.Official guidance

What will Longview not take?

More than five tires are refused in one load, commercial tires are not taken at all, a refrigerant appliance is not accepted from an out of county customer, hazardous and dangerous waste cannot be tipped at the scale, treated wood needs a special waste permit, and demolition loads are priced by phone. Some common electronics such as keyboards, mice, printers and fax machines are also refused at the two e-waste sites and have to go in the green garbage container or to the transfer station.Official guidance
