Who Handles Appliances in Pearland — City or Hauler?
When it comes to old appliances like refrigerators, washers, and stoves, residents often wonder if the City of Pearland will pick them up, or if they need to hire a private junk removal company. Here’s the breakdown.
Appliance Pickup by the City of Pearland
- ✅ Accepted Appliances: Refrigerators, washers, dryers, freezers, dishwashers, ovens, and stoves.
