  • Older homes mean tighter paths out. 31% of homes in District of Columbia were built before 1940, against 12% nationally, so a refrigerator, washer or range often has to clear narrow doorways, tight stair turns or steep basement steps. Measure the doorway and the stairs before your pickup, and mention where the appliance sits when you book.
  • In an apartment building, the building's rules shape the pickup. 57% of homes in District of Columbia are in buildings with five or more units, against 19% nationally, so check whether you need to reserve a service elevator or stick to move-out hours, and let the building know the pickup date.
  • If you rent, check whose appliance it is before booking. 58% of households in District of Columbia rent, against 35% nationally, and appliances in a rental usually belong to the landlord. If a previous tenant left one behind, your lease usually decides who handles removal.

What to have ready before your Loaders arrive

What happens to your old appliance

LoadUp always tries to donate a working appliance first. Whether an appliance can be donated depends on its condition, your location, and whether a local donation center will accept it.

When no local donation center will accept an appliance, responsible disposal is the priority. LoadUp recycles appliances whenever possible.

District of Columbia FAQs

Good to know before you book

Straight answers on price, timing and getting ready for a pickup in District of Columbia.

How much does appliance removal cost in Washington, DC?

Prices start at $70 for a small appliance such as a microwave, and every appliance has its own starting price: a dishwasher from $95, a refrigerator from $115, a water heater from $140. The area service fee varies by ZIP code, so you see the exact total for your address before you book.

Do you cover all of Washington, DC?

Yes. Pickups are available across Washington, DC, and the LoadUp network covers all 50 states as well.

Is same-day appliance pickup available in Washington, DC?

Often. Same-day pickups are available across the LoadUp network when you book before noon, though availability varies by location, so the booking window shows what is open at your address. Same-day adds $10; next-day and later pickups can be booked up to 90 days ahead.

Can I get rid of several appliances in one pickup in Washington, DC?

Yes, and it costs less than separate pickups. The area service fee is charged once per pickup, so each appliance after the first adds only its add-on price, from +$15. The pickup calculator on the pricing page adds up a starting total for your list.

In Washington, DC, will the Loaders come inside, or can I leave the appliance outside?

Either. With in-home pickup your Loaders carry the appliance out from wherever it sits, including basements and upstairs rooms. If it is already outside, curbside pickup saves $5 and you can skip the appointment.

What has to happen before a pickup in Washington, DC?

Every appliance needs to be disconnected before pickup, including electrical, gas, and plumbing connections. Refrigerant must be removed by a certified technician before pickup. This applies only to refrigerators, freezers, wine fridges, ice machines, dehumidifiers and AC units. Clear a path from the appliance to the door before the pickup window.
