What the City Excludes
City of Columbus bulk collection lists refrigerated appliances — refrigerators, freezers, dehumidifiers, heat pumps, water coolers and air conditioners — along with furnaces among the items it will not pick up.
Washers, dryers and stoves can go through 311 if you live in the City, schedule ahead and get them to the curb. Anything with refrigerant, or anything still in the basement, is ours to handle. Suburban haulers set their own appliance rules.
Before Pickup Day
Unplug and Empty
Clear out food and let the freezer drain. Defrosting fully isn’t necessary.
Water Lines
Shut off ice-maker and washer supply lines before the crew arrives.
Gas and Hard-Wired Units
Have a licensed technician disconnect gas ranges, dryers and furnaces first — our crews carry, they don’t disconnect.
Tell Us the Stairs
Mention a basement or narrow stairwell when you book so the right crew size comes.
