Appliance removal is one of the few junk categories with real rules attached. Refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioners contain refrigerants that can’t legally go in a landfill or a standard trash pickup. Most North Shore villages won’t take them at the curb at all, and the ones that will charge a sticker fee and make you wait for a specific week.
We take them whenever you’re ready. Our crew disconnects and removes the unit, and the appliance goes to a recycler that recovers refrigerant and reclaims the metal.
Delivery crews are the other reason people call. Big-box stores often decline to haul the old unit if it’s in a basement, if it’s still connected, or if there’s a leak. We take it either way.
Type of appliance, roughly how old, and where it sits. Basement laundry and second-floor units are routine.
Single appliances are quick jobs and often fit into a same-day route. Add a second item and the per-item cost drops.
We disconnect where it’s safe to do so, carry it out on a dolly with floor protection, and send it to a recycler for refrigerant recovery and metal reclamation.
In most North Shore villages, no. Units with refrigerant require special handling and are typically excluded from standard collection or need a paid sticker and a scheduled week. Calling us skips that entirely.
We disconnect standard plug-in and simple water-line connections. Hardwired units, gas lines, and anything requiring a licensed trade should be disconnected by a plumber or electrician first for safety and code reasons.
Yes. Working units in good condition are routed to donation partners when a receiving organization will take them. Non-working units go to metal recycling.
Yes, and there’s no extra charge for stairs. That’s the single most common appliance call we get.
A single refrigerator falls at the low end of our pricing. If you’re also getting rid of a washer, dryer, or old grill, bundling them into one visit is significantly cheaper than separate trips.
