THE QUICK ANSWER
Usable appliances go to Habitat ReStore at 1221 Harris Street. Non-working ones must be recycled legally. Albemarle Moving handles both — call 434-230-4551.
Option 1: Donate to Habitat ReStore
Habitat for Humanity ReStore at 1221 Harris Street accepts working appliances — fridges, washers, dryers, dishwashers, stoves in good condition. Call first to confirm they're accepting your specific appliance.
Option 2: Curbside — Check First
Albemarle County and Charlottesville do not accept appliances in standard curbside. Must be scheduled through Rivanna Solid Waste Authority or taken to Ivy MUC at 4576 Dick Woods Road. Freon-containing appliances require certified recovery first.
Option 3: Call Albemarle Moving
We pick up appliances from any room, handle freon recovery (FREON17 waives the $17 fee), and route everything correctly. Same-day available. No deposit. Call 434-230-4551.
The Freon Rule
Refrigerators, freezers, and AC units contain refrigerant regulated under EPA Section 608. Venting or dumping without recovery is a federal violation. Albemarle Moving handles certified freon recovery on every appliance job.
Habitat ReStore at 1221 Harris Street accepts working appliances. Albemarle Moving also picks up and donates 65%+ of every load. Call 434-230-4551.
