How to Dispose of a Washer or Dryer in Daly City, CA

Washers and dryers are heavy, mostly-metal appliances that are valuable to recyclers but a pain to move. Here is how to get one out of your Daly City home the right way.

Why You Can't Just Throw It Away

Laundry appliances are largely steel and other metals, which scrap and appliance recyclers want. Because they are heavy and often sit in tight laundry closets or basements, the main challenge is safe removal rather than special handling.

Your Options in Daly City

  1. 1

    Disconnect safely

    Unplug the dryer (and shut off gas for gas dryers); turn off the water supply and disconnect hoses on the washer before moving anything.

  2. 2

    Recycle as scrap metal

    Appliance and scrap-metal recyclers accept washers and dryers and recover the steel — sometimes for free since the metal has value.

  3. 3

    Look for retailer haul-away

    When you buy a new unit, the retailer will often haul away the old one for free or a small fee on delivery.

  4. 4

    Book appliance removal

    For basement or upstairs units, a junk removal crew will disconnect, carry out, and recycle the appliance so you avoid the heavy lifting.
