What Is a No-Contact Pickup?

In light of the COVID-19 outbreak, to ensure the safety of customers and contractors, we’re only collecting appliances from designated locations outside of customers’ residences, including garages, porches and outbuildings. No-contact pickups will enable our staff to collect and recycle your old appliance(s) while you remain safely inside your home. During your no-contact appliance pickup, our team will be wearing personal protective equipment, including masks, safety glasses and disposable gloves.
