For upgrades, move-outs, and broken appliances
Homeowners often need appliance removal after a replacement or renovation. Landlords and property managers may have an old unit left after a turnover. Businesses sometimes need to clear breakroom or utility appliances. Whatever the reason, the first step is identifying the exact appliance and how it is installed.
Large appliances need a little homework
Unlike a chair or box, an appliance may be connected to water, gas, electricity, a drain, or a vent. It can also be heavier than it looks and only barely fit through the doorway. Send the appliance type, approximate dimensions if known, current location, connection status, and a photo of the route out.
Common items included
- Refrigerators, freezers, and compact refrigerators
- Washers, dryers, and laundry pairs
- Ranges, ovens, dishwashers, and similar kitchen appliances
- Other large household or breakroom appliances, after acceptance is confirmed
Check connections before pickup day
Tell us whether the appliance is still connected. Water, gas, electrical, vent, and refrigerant-related work may require preparation by the appropriate person before removal. Also mention nearby counters, flooring concerns, basement steps, tight turns, or doors that may need to come off their hinges.
What shapes an appliance removal quote
- The appliance type, dimensions, and approximate weight
- Whether it is disconnected and ready to move
- Its location inside, in a garage, or at the curb
- Stairs, tight clearances, long carries, and special handling
Before pickup day
Empty refrigerators and freezers completely, remove laundry and dishes, and secure loose shelves or doors if requested. Do not attempt gas, hardwired electrical, or water-line work unless you are qualified to do it. Ask what must be ready before the pickup is confirmed.
We confirm the accepted items, final scope, price, and available timing before the pickup is booked.
Where the items go
Some appliances contain refrigerants, electronics, or other components that change how they can be handled. We review the actual model and condition rather than assuming every appliance follows the same disposal path.
Refrigerators and freezers: plan a day ahead
A refrigerator or freezer that was running yesterday will still be full of ice and water today. If you can, empty it and unplug it the day before pickup, leave the doors open, and put towels down to catch the meltwater. Chest freezers in basements and garages are often forgotten until moving day. Check them early, because they may be full and they can be very heavy.
Stacked and paired laundry units
Washers and dryers often go together, so list both if both are leaving. Stacked laundry units can be tall and heavy and sometimes sit in a tight closet. Tell us whether the set is stacked, whether the dryer is gas or electric, and whether the washer has been drained. Front-load washers in particular can hold water in the drum and hoses.

Appliance Removal questions
Can you take a refrigerator that is still connected?
Tell us about the water line and electrical connection. Any required disconnection must be addressed before the refrigerator can be moved.
Does the appliance need to be empty?
Yes. Remove food, clothing, dishes, and other contents. Let us know about standing water, leaks, or damage.
Can I include more than one appliance?
Yes. List each appliance separately, along with its location and connection status, so the combined job can be reviewed.
