Refrigerators & Freezers Removal 〰️
Refrigerator disposal and pick up near you
Moving a refrigerator is hard to do alone—they’re heavy, awkward to maneuver, and need the combined strength of a small team of people to move even a few feet.
If you’re trying to get rid of an old refrigerator, you can’t just throw it out with the rest of your trash. Even if you manage to get it to the curb, many areas don’t offer refrigerator pick-up or recycling as part of their garbage disposal services. That’s where we come in!

How do I get my old fridge ready for disposal?
If you’re getting ready to get rid of your refrigerator, there are a few steps you must take to make sure that your fridge is disposed of properly:
Unplug the fridge a few hours early to defrost the evaporator
Make sure you remove all foods and perishable goods
Tape down loose items such as shelves and compartments

How do I know when I need to throw away my fridge?
Warm food is the most obvious warning sign that your fridge has stopped working. Before you get ready to throw it out, there are a few areas to check first.
Check the temperature setting inside the fridge. If it’s set to a high temperature, it may be working fine.
Check the compressor behind your fridge and listen for the motor sound. If the motor runs but the temperature inside the fridge hasn’t cooled down, then the compressor might be broken.
Check the inside coils. If you see a large amount of frost buildup, the coils may be broken.
If this sounds like your fridge, it is best that you replace it immediately. Save yourself the hassle of hauling your fridge on your own - our friendly and efficient crew is in your neighborhood and ready to help with your fridge pickup! To get your free no-obligation, onsite estimate, just give us a call or book online.
Do you take old refrigerators apart from inside my house?
Due to liability requirements, we aren’t typically able to disconnect appliances on our own. We ask that you disconnect any appliances from power sources or any other connection (water, oil, fuels, compressed air/gas, charged site suppression) before we arrive.
Once it’s disconnected, we’ll take care of everything else! We’ll come inside and remove the fridge from wherever it’s located—you won’t need to worry about doing any heavy lifting. We’ll also take out any removable parts of the fridge (drawers, shelves, inserts, etc) before we move it.

Mini & Bar Refrigerators
