What we take away
Appliance removal in Phoenix
Appliance removal is our crew carrying an old refrigerator, washer, dryer, stove or water heater out of the house and sending it to recycling. You call, we come to the property in Phoenix, Arizona, and we pick the appliance up from wherever it stands: the kitchen, the laundry room, the garage or the back patio. Nobody has to drag a refrigerator to the curb or borrow a truck to haul it to the dump.
A single old fridge is a small job, priced as a minimum load, and a garage full of dead washers and dryers is simply a bigger one. Our junk removal services handle both the same way: a free estimate first, the price confirmed when we arrive, then an efficient carry-out with the floors and door frames protected on the way. When the old unit is a stove or a water heater, it leaves in the same truck as everything else, so your removal needs are covered in one visit.
Pickup days are available Monday to Saturday, and clients across Phoenix and Maricopa County call us when a new appliance is on the way and the old one has nowhere to go. Tell us what it is and where it sits, and we take it from there.
What we haul
Refrigerators, washers, dryers and water heaters we haul
The crew hauls every household appliance, from refrigerators and freezers to washers, dryers, stoves and water heaters. The appliances most pickups include are these.
- Refrigerators
- Freezers
- Washers
- Dryers
- Stoves
- Water heaters
This is full-service removal: the crew comes into the home and loads the items straight from the room they sit in, so nothing has to wait at the curb. Book a single washer, or load the whole laundry set with the garage fridge; the process is the same and the work goes fast. We sort the units at the truck so each one goes where it belongs afterward, which is the difference between calling a residential junk removal company and a trip to the scrap yard with a borrowed trailer.
Before the truck comes
Getting an old appliance ready to go
Disconnecting appliances before pickup
Appliances should be disconnected from water, gas and power before pickup. That is the standard rule for every appliance we take, and it is a safety matter: a washer still plumbed in or a gas range still on its line is not ready to move.
Unplug the refrigerator, shut the water valve behind the washer, and have a gas stove or gas dryer taken off its line by a qualified installer. Then clear a path so the crew has access from the appliance to the door. When you phone, tell us the condition of each unit, whether it is old junk headed out with the bulk garbage or a working model that could be donated, and the quick estimate covers it. A single-item pickup of a disconnected fridge is the simplest job we do, and the disposal fees are part of the price we give.
Refrigerators, freezers and coolant
Refrigerators and freezers that still hold coolant need handling by certified technicians, which adds to the cost. The rules on coolant are why a fridge is not treated like a washer or a stove: its sealed system has to be handled properly, not left at the curb with the bulk trash removal pile.
For our junk removal crew that means the household fridge is carried out whole and the coolant handling is priced into the quote, so you know the size of the bill before the pickup. Homeowners across our service area tell us the type and size of each unit when they call, and the price is clear before the truck comes. You get the old refrigerator gone without the stress or hassle of finding someone for the coolant yourself, and we remove a garage freezer just as efficiently in the same trip.
Price
How appliance pickup is priced
Appliance pickup is priced by the space each unit takes in the truck, about one cubic yard for a standard household washing machine, plus any special handling. Junk removal is priced mainly by how much space the items take up, so volume sets most of the cost, and a volume-based price usually covers the crew's labor, fuel to and from the job, and disposal fees.
Refrigerators with coolant and electronics need special handling that adds to the cost, and stairs, long carries to the truck or units spread over several rooms add to it too. Street-level pickups, where the truck pulls right up to the garage, keep labor costs low. Same-day and weekend jobs cost more than jobs booked days ahead.
To get a quote, contact us by phone during our hours, Monday to Saturday, or text a few photos of each unit and where it sits on the property. The estimate is free, our trained crew confirms the price on site before the haul away starts, and our removal services quote the whole job first, with no surprise fees after.
Where the metal goes
Appliance recycling and scrap metal
Old appliances are taken apart for scrap metal and parts, since improper disposal of an appliance is a risk to the environment. That is why recycling is where the old refrigerators, washers and stoves we carry out are headed, and why appliance recycling is the eco-friendly end for the things we haul out of a kitchen or laundry room.
When you schedule a pickup or request a free quote, you don't need to find a scrap yard, rent a truck or supply the labor. The friendly crew loads the units into our truck and takes them on to recycling, whether the old appliance sits in the kitchen, the garage or a storage shed. Describing what you have takes a few minutes on the phone, and the junk pickup service handles the rest, eco and otherwise.
How it comes out
Carrying heavy appliances out
The crew moves heavy appliances on hand trucks with the floors, walls and doorways protected. Careful crews protect floors, walls and landscaping when moving through tight spaces, doorways and stairs, and a heavy appliance comes out in this order.
- The team walks the path from the appliance to the truck and checks the doorways, stairs and tight turns.
- Floors, walls and door frames are covered so the carry leaves no damage.
- The unit goes on a hand truck with the right equipment for the lifting, and the carrying is done at a careful pace on stairs.
- It is loaded on the truck, and the space where it stood is swept before we leave.
You never do the heavy lifting or carrying yourself, and you need no help from friends: point to the fridge in the kitchen or the freezer in the garage and the time is ours, not yours. When the new washer is on its way, call and we answer the phone or call back the same working day. The crew is licensed and insured.
Where we go
Appliance removal across the Phoenix area
Appliance removal reaches homes and businesses across Phoenix and the towns on the service area page. We serve the surrounding area of Maricopa County as local haulers, so the residential and commercial properties we visit get the same crew, from a house kitchen to a workplace break room. Every town our junk removal crew reaches is listed on our service area page.
Call today about anything from a single fridge to tons of old appliances left after a house sale, and fold them into the trash and cleanouts you already have planned. We charge by the space a load takes, not by the town, and people who found us online or by word of mouth reach the same crew at the same number.
Good to know
More about appliance pickup
The questions below are answered briefly here and in full on their own pages. Each customer asks a few of the same things once the unwanted fridge is gone: where it went, what else fits on the truck, and whether anyone has to be home. Our insured crew keeps appointments across the city, shows up when we say we will, and leaves the spot clean; a few pictures of the pile before the visit let us quote the trash removal and the appliances together.
Appliance disposal after pickup
Appliances that still work go to donation, and the rest go to recycling or a transfer station. Items that cannot be donated or recycled go to a transfer station or landfill, the place most people call "the dump." Donation and recycling take what they can before the landfill, and our page on junk disposal follows everything we haul from the truck onward. We dispose of the waste last, after the unwanted items worth keeping out of the landfill are set aside, and the bags, pieces and clutter from cleanup projects go the same way.
Other junk we haul in the same load
The same load takes the other junk in the house, garage or yard, each job described on its own page. The other jobs the crew takes are these.
- Furniture removal
- Mattress removal
- Hot tub removal
- Debris removal
- Estate cleanouts
Our crews take large and broken pieces the same day as the appliance, so you reclaim the space in one visit instead of waiting a week for a second trip. Homes and businesses add any other junk to the load through junk removal in Phoenix, from a full garage to a single chair. Questions about a mixed load of work go to the same number your neighbors call.
Appliance pickup when you are not home
You often do not need to be home for appliance pickup when the appliance is disconnected and accessible. Leave the garage open or the unit in the carport, tell us where it is, and the job goes ahead while you are at work; we confirm the price by phone before the move. The estimate is free, the price stays affordable for a bulky fridge in a back room, and the removal company brings its own tools, so the weight is our problem, not yours.
Questions
Appliance removal questions
What is the cheapest way to get rid of junk for free?
Curbside pickup, where you move the items outside first, is the cheapest service level, and our estimate is free whichever level you choose. A working appliance goes to donation instead of the landfill.
Our guide to dumpster vs junk removal compares doing the loading yourself with having a crew do it.
How much does it cost to dispose of a refrigerator?
Junk removal is priced mainly by how much space the items take up in the truck, and a refrigerator with coolant needs special handling that adds to the cost. Stairs and long carries to the truck add to the price as well.
Our page on junk removal cost explains what sets the price.
What is the best way to get rid of an old refrigerator?
Have it carried out and sent to recycling, with the coolant handled by certified technicians as the rules require. Disposing of appliances improperly can harm the environment, so a refrigerator does not belong at the curb with the trash.
Reviews
What Phoenix neighbors say
"The crew cleared years of boxes and an old couch out of our garage in one visit. The price they gave from our photos held on the day, and they swept the floor before they left."
"Our old spa had been dead for years. They cut it into pieces, carried it out through the side gate and left the pad swept clean."
"We were handling my mother's house from out of state. They sent photos of each room, set aside the papers they found and left the house ready to list."
