Every route for a dishwasher in Orlando, checked in October 2026 against the city’s current rules and the drop-off sites named. The full Orlando guide covers every other item.
Here is how each route works in Orlando, starting with the city program and ending with paid pickup.
Orlando weekly large item collection: dishwashers
FreeDishwashers are large items. Uninstall first.
Who qualifies: Single-family homes with City of Orlando solid waste service (billed through OUC). Unincorporated Orange County has its own program through Solid Waste at 407-836-6601.
How to schedule: No appointment for hand-loadable items. Put large items at the curb on your yard waste day; the city collects weekly. Oversized loads can be scheduled through Solid Waste at 407-246-2314 for an additional fee.
Limits: No published item cap for ordinary household large items; crews collect what two people can hand-load. Tires are limited to 4 car tires per household per year.
Set-out: At the curb the evening before or by 7 a.m. on your yard waste day. Refrigerator and freezer doors must be removed before set-out.
Donation pickup in Orlando (usable dishwashers)
FreeOrlando’s donation programs accept items in good usable condition: clean upholstered furniture without significant tears or stains, working appliances less than 10 years old, mattresses in good condition (subject to program-specific rules), kitchenware, lamps, and most household goods.
Items typically not accepted: damaged or stained furniture, mattresses with bedbug history or significant wear, appliances that don’t work, particle-board furniture in poor condition, cribs (federal safety regulations have changed), and exercise equipment that requires reassembly. Always call before scheduling if you’re unsure, pickups that find unacceptable items will leave them behind.
Freemoval (free pickups through partner organizations)
FreeFreemoval funds free junk removal and cleanouts for households referred by trusted partner organizations, such as nonprofits, housing programs, and senior services. Families don’t apply directly. A partner submits the request and vouches for the need.
Status in Orlando: Not yet available. Freemoval currently serves metro Atlanta and plans to expand nationwide.
How it works where it operates: One free pickup per household, covering dishwashers, furniture, appliances, and bulk household items within standard LoadUp marketplace service. Funded by LoadUp customer round-ups and direct contributions, spent at standard LoadUp rates.
If you run a nonprofit or housing program in Orlando: you can start the conversation now through the For partners page.
Orlando residents have one of the most generous bulk pickup schedules in the country: large items get collected weekly on the same day as garbage. Furniture, mattresses, appliances, TVs, and up to 4 passenger car tires are all accepted. This page walks through every disposal option in order from free to paid.
The Orlando rule for dishwashers: Dishwashers are large items. Uninstall first.
Program basics: No published item cap for ordinary household large items; crews collect what two people can hand-load. Tires are limited to 4 car tires per household per year. At the curb the evening before or by 7 a.m. on your yard waste day. Refrigerator and freezer doors must be removed before set-out.
What the city will not take: Household hazardous waste, auto parts, construction debris, and truck tires. Electronics go to Orange County's drop-off sites.
How we checked this. The rules on this page were verified in October 2026 against: City of Orlando Public Works: Solid Waste Division (large item collection), City of Orlando: Solid Waste services included in residential rates. Programs change; confirm fees and limits before you go.
Why dishwashers are different from ordinary bulk. Dishwashers are usually replaced as part of a kitchen project, which means the old one often ends up sitting in a garage because nobody planned its exit. Because they are lighter than other appliances, two people can carry one to the curb, but the uninstall involves three connections (power, water, drain) and any of them done wrong can flood a cabinet.
Three mistakes that get dishwashers left at the curb:
Paid options are rarely needed for a dishwasher alone, but they make sense when it is part of a larger kitchen cleanout or when nobody is available to carry it.
Self-haul to a transfer station
Free to $20A dishwasher fits in most SUVs with the seats down. County transfer stations accept it as an appliance or bulky item, sometimes with a small fee.
Lay a tarp down. Even a drained dishwasher drips from the sump for a day.

How much does paid dishwasher removal cost in Orlando?
Through the LoadUp marketplace, a single dishwasher pickup in Orlando starts around $80 to $100 with upfront pricing, and full-truck loads run $300 to $600 depending on volume. For households who need same-week service or live in apartments/condos not covered by city service, LoadUp offers professional removal in Orlando with upfront pricing. Independent loaders in the marketplace handle pickup, loading, and licensed disposal.
Can a dishwasher go out with bulk trash?
In most cities, yes. Dishwashers are usually treated as a standard large item or a non-refrigerant appliance. Confirm the local rule in the directory below and whether a separate appliance appointment is required.
Does a dishwasher contain refrigerant or anything hazardous?
No. Dishwashers have no refrigerant and no regulated components. Some older models have a small mercury-free float switch and a capacitor; both are routine for recyclers.
How do I disconnect a built-in dishwasher?
Turn off the breaker and confirm power is off. Shut the hot water stop under the sink and disconnect the supply line. Disconnect the drain hose at the disposal or air gap. Remove the kick plate, open the junction box, and disconnect the wires (or unplug it if corded). Remove the two mounting screws under the counter and slide the unit out onto a towel.
How much does a dishwasher weigh?
Most 24-inch built-ins weigh 60 to 90 pounds. Stainless-tub models are at the upper end. Portable units with a wood top run 90 to 120 pounds.
