Every route, by appliance type
| Who | Takes | The catch |
|---|---|---|
| City bulk week (free) | Stoves, washers, dryers, water heaters | Never refrigerant units; monthly window; you carry to the curb; houses/duplexes only |
| Retailer haul-away | The unit being replaced | Only at delivery — no help for unreplaced or already-dead units |
| Curb scrappers | Metal-rich units, maybe | Off-schedule curb piles are billable; fridges get stripped and abandoned; zero reliability |
| JunkRabbit (flat price) | Everything, incl. refrigerant units | The prices below — with disconnect, dolly work, and correct routing included |

Match the route to your situation
- Stove or washer, house, no hurry: the free bulk week — set it out Thursday–Sunday before your week and save. The rules.
- New unit being delivered: ask for haul-away at purchase. Best timing there is.
- Fridge, freezer, or AC — any situation: the city will never take it; flat pickup with refrigerant recovery is the legitimate route.
- Dead unit blocking a delivery tomorrow: same-day windows are common — book by 4 PM.
- Kitchen remodel's worth: several units price as a load — compare truck-fill rates.
Frequently asked questions
Does the City of Dallas pick up old appliances?
Split answer: the monthly brush-and-bulky week takes stoves, washers, dryers and water heaters — but never anything containing coolant, gas or chemicals: no refrigerators, no freezers, no air conditioners, no dehumidifiers. So half your kitchen qualifies for the free week (if you can wait for it and carry it to the curb) and the other half needs a private route with EPA refrigerant handling.
How much does appliance removal cost in Dallas?
Flat per unit: refrigerator $164 (large/side-by-side $183), mini fridge $115, washer $133, dryer $128, stacked combo $189, dishwasher $109, upright freezer $149, chest freezer $146, gas range $137, electric range $134, water heater $131 (tankless $90), microwave $30. Basic disconnection, the dolly work, and correct routing (EPA refrigerant recovery, metal to scrap) are included. $100 minimum.
Do appliance stores haul away the old unit in Dallas?
Most do at delivery, free or for a modest fee — the best-timed option when you're replacing like-for-like. It fails when the old unit must go before the new arrives, when you bought online with no delivery crew, or when nothing is replacing it (the garage beer fridge, the dead chest freezer).
Will scrappers take appliances for free in Dallas?
Metal-rich units left visibly at the curb often vanish free — washers and dryers especially. The catches: it's outside the city's set-out rules between bulk weeks (billable if reported), fridges may get stripped for the compressor and abandoned, and 'usually vanishes' isn't a plan when a landlord walkthrough or delivery crew is on the calendar.
Do you disconnect the appliance?
Basic disconnection yes — water lines capped, dryer flex lines detached, gas valves shut. Hard-piped (soldered) or gas-line work beyond the shutoff needs a plumber first; we're happy to work right behind one.
