Is there a place, preferably in West Central Iowa, that you can dispose of old appliances? Got a few things I’m looking to get rid of and just need to find a final resting place for them.

I think that scrap yard off the Highway by Schaller would take it if youre remotely close to there.

I believe Quandt's in Carroll takes them. Would suggest calling to double check first, though.

Along these lines, I am looking for old parts, specifically the wash drum, from a washing machine. Anyone know of a place I can get one? Would I have to get an entire junked out washer and take it apart myself? I want to make a fire pit from the drum.

Last I knew Quandt's in Carroll took them, but charged a disposal fee. Picket's Salvage in Boxholm took them for free. Also a number of landfills will take them but charge a fee.

usually hardware stores that do installs have the machines they have replaced sitting somewhere at the store. At one point you could get lowes to sell you one for $50

That would entail the disassembly route however

Not sure how far west you are but SPI in Des Moines takes them for free.

Ankeny Sanitation does our garbage pickup. They will take care of them if we put them by the curb. We have to buy a $10 sticker from the city first, though.
