Sustainable Appliance Removal & Hauling Services

Junk King will haul and remove most items a two-man team can handle. One advantage Junk King provides over all our competition is the size of our trucks. Our trucks are 30% larger than our competitors’ trucks, giving us a hauling advantage. We use various methods to remove and dispose of appliance items like:

• Air conditioners
• Dishwashers
• Dryers
• Freezers
• Lawnmowers
• Refrigerators/Fridges
• Stoves/Ovens
• Water Heaters
• Washing Machines
• Trash Compactors
• Microwaves

The first thing we consider is the working order of the appliance. When we pick up unwanted appliances that still function properly, we donate them to local charities.

We recommend our clients be on site before our junk removal contractors arrive. About 30 minutes before your appliance removal appointment, you should expect a call confirming your location, the items you want to be hauled away, and the time the crew will arrive at your home or business. If you are unable to be on site, the crew will review the price quote and call you to confirm the total cost of hauling away your appliances.

A big part of our eco-friendly appliance removal service is our commitment to the environment. This means that we recycle as many appliances as we can. Remember, hauling your old appliances to the dump is not your only option — nor even your best option. At Junk King, we can help you dispose of your old dishwasher, refrigerator, stove, oven, range, washer and dryer, and even HVAC equipment in an eco-friendly manner.

We do that by recycling your old appliances after removing and hauling them away. Appliances are largely constructed of metal. The good news is that metals are highly recyclable and recoverable. When it comes to processing scrap metal, such as your non-working appliances, having a professional junk removal firm to safely remove your appliance is your best option.

And opting for an eco-friendly appliance removal company like Junk King will ensure that as much of the scrap metal recovered as possible is recycled.

Appliance removal involves safely taking away and responsibly disposing of old appliances to protect the environment from harmful chemicals and ensure their materials are recycled whenever possible, giving them new life or repurposing their parts.

For example, if you’ve only had your appliance — such as an old washer or dryer — for a few years or so, and it’s still in good working condition, you can almost always find a new home for it. That’s because your gently used but working appliances still have value.

Removing the appliance is simply the first obstacle.

The biggest problem with appliance removal is that it is almost never a DIY project. Most large appliances weigh far too much for one person. Even with two people, the job still requires some proper equipment like a hand truck or furniture dolly, furniture straps, and — ideally — some duct tape or packaging tape to keep the lids and panels closed while in transit.

Appliance removal also requires a suitable vehicle, and that doesn’t include your new Prius!

While a few larger hatchbacks might be able to accommodate small appliances like a small dryer or mini-fridge, this is typically a job for a pickup truck or even a trailer. And remember: appliance removal means getting it out of the house, out to the curb, and up into the back of the truck or onto the trailer.

Costs for appliance removal vary widely depending on who removes it for you or where you take it yourself. According to an article at Homeguide.com, the average cost for disposal of a washer and dryer is between $70 and $205.

If you take your junk appliances to a landfill facility that accepts them, the disposal fees can vary, but hiring a junk removal company typically involves a flat fee.

In many areas, appliances containing refrigerants like Freon—such as air conditioners, refrigerators, and freezers—must be taken to designated facilities for proper disposal, as environmental regulations often require certified refrigerant removal. Appliances without refrigerants, including dishwashers, water heaters, microwaves, ovens, and stoves, can typically be dropped off at approved collection sites or recycling centers. Disposal requirements and fees vary by location, so it’s important to check with local waste management authorities or recycling programs for current rules and costs.

Appliance removal involves hiring professionals who haul away old appliances from homes, apartments, or workplaces and ensure they are disposed of responsibly—often through recycling or donation.

For most places, appliances cannot be thrown away with regular trash because of their size, weight, and potentially hazardous materials. In fact, nearly half of U.S. states have laws banning appliances from landfills, so it’s important to explore safer, more responsible removal and disposal options.

One option is to sell functional appliances online or at a yard sale, as working second-hand appliances are always in demand. Keep in mind that you will likely only receive half or less of the original price, whether selling through garage sales or popular online platforms like Craigslist, Letgo, or Nextdoor, due to the steep depreciation of appliances.

Consider donating appliances of all sizes to second-hand shops, non-profit groups, churches, and community thrift stores, many of which will offer convenient pickup services for items in good condition. Plus, you may receive a tax deduction receipt when you donate your old appliances.

Scrap your appliance. Another relatively easy way to remove an old appliance and make some money in the process is to take it to a local used appliance dealer or even a scrap metal dealer. This is especially good for those appliances that aren’t working any longer. These businesses will either repair and resell them or dismantle them to recover the usable parts and recyclable materials.
