Appliance Removal & Disposal is one of our Junk Removal services. See the full category
Dead appliances have a way of not leaving. The old refrigerator gets demoted to the garage and hums there for years. The broken dryer becomes a shelf. The dishwasher that flooded once sits unplugged, permanently "getting dealt with soon." It's not laziness; it's that a major appliance is a genuinely miserable thing to remove. It weighs two hundred pounds or more, it's wedged into a spot exactly its own size, it may still be connected to something, and between that spot and the truck there's a kitchen floor, a doorway, and probably stairs. So it stays.
This service is how it finally goes.
The hard part is the exit
Getting an appliance out of a Chicago home is a moving job wearing a disposal costume, and our crews treat it that way. The path out gets protected first: runners over the kitchen and hallway floors, padding on the door frames, because a refrigerator that shuffles across bare hardwood leaves a story behind it. The appliance comes out of its slot carefully, walked and dollied by people who move heavy things through tight spaces for a living, down the back stairs of a two-flat or through a high-rise service elevator, and onto the truck. Your floors, cabinets, and walls stay exactly as they were. That's the entire difference between us and dragging it out yourself.
One practical note on connections: have the appliance disconnected before we arrive, gas capped by your plumber, water lines shut and detached, hardwired units unwired. Our crews handle the hauling; the utility connections belong to the licensed trades, and we'd rather tell you that upfront than discover it at the curb.
What we take
Refrigerators and freezers, washers and dryers, ranges and ovens, dishwashers, microwaves, water heaters, window air conditioners, and the miscellaneous machinery of a household. One dead fridge or the full kitchen's worth during a remodel, same crew, same care, hauled the same day and disposed of responsibly. As with all our hauling: household items yes, construction debris and hazardous waste no.
If the appliance isn't dying, just moving, that's a different service and a better fate: our large appliance moving crews move working appliances to new homes all the time. And if the fridge is one item in a much bigger clear-out, our estate and property cleanouts handle the whole house in one pass.
What it costs
The quote follows the machine and the exit: a garage refrigerator with a straight shot to the driveway is a smaller job than a washer in a basement with a turn in the stairs. Tell us what it is and where it sits, a photo helps, and you'll have the number upfront, free and non-binding, before anything gets touched.
Appliance removal is one branch of our Junk Removal lineup, alongside furniture removal, cleanouts, and donation pickup.

People also ask
Working appliances go to local donation centers when they can be reused. The rest go to the junk yard.
Where removed appliances goNothing special. They just need to be emptied and drained.
How to prep a fridge or freezer for removalYes. Junk removal is $75 per item, so each appliance is priced the same way, whether it's one or a whole kitchen.
More on removing several appliances at onceYes. An appliance doesn't need to work for us to take it. Working ones go to local donation centers, and the rest go to the junk yard.
More on removing broken appliancesYes, once it's disconnected. We don't do plumbing work, so water and gas lines need to be disconnected by a plumber before we arrive.
