Why an appliance isn't curbside trash

Refrigerators, freezers, and ACs hold refrigerant that has to be handled to EPA standards, so they're not curbside trash, and Chicago's bulk pickup won't carry a dead appliance down from a third-floor three-flat or up from your basement for you. We do the disconnection, the carry, and route the unit to a recycler that recovers the refrigerant and the metal. Washers, dryers, dishwashers, and water heaters are routine too.

Appliances we haul

  • Kitchen — refrigerators, ranges, dishwashers, microwaves, range hoods.
  • Laundry & utility — washers, dryers, water heaters (tank & tankless).
  • Cooling — chest and upright freezers, window and portable ACs, dehumidifiers.
  • Basement second units — the spare fridge or freezer down in the basement.

Built for Chicago's stairs, basements, and towers

An appliance is heavy and unforgiving on a three-flat staircase. We bring the people and straps to get a fridge down three no-elevator floors in Lakeview, up from a Bridgeport basement, or out a reserved freight elevator with a Certificate of Insurance on file in a River North tower — and we load from the alley or curb where it's easiest. A top-floor unit costs the same as the ground floor.

Why Chicago picks us for appliances

  • We disconnect it — washer, dryer, dishwasher; a plumber cuts gas lines.
  • Refrigerant & metal handled right — recycled to EPA standards.
  • Flat photo price — no per-flight surcharge.
  • Buildings handled — same-day COI and freight-elevator booking for towers.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does appliance removal cost in Chicago?

Flat, photo-quoted: refrigerator $164, large refrigerator $246, washer $133, dryer $128, dishwasher $109, water heater $131, window AC $79. $75 minimum. Disconnection, the stair-carry, and metal recycling are included — no per-flight surcharge.

Do you disconnect the appliance?

Yes — we handle basic disconnection of the washer, dryer, or dishwasher; a plumber cuts any gas line. We carry it down the stairs or up from the basement as-is.

Is the refrigerant handled properly?

Yes — fridges, freezers, and ACs go to a recycler that handles the refrigerant to EPA standards before the metal is recovered.

Do you disconnect the appliance first?

Yes — basic disconnection of washers, dryers, dishwashers, and water heaters is included. Gas lines need a plumber's cap first.

How do you get a fridge out of a walk-up?

Stair dolly, straps, padded door frames — one flight at a time. A standard fridge is a flat $164 and stairs never add a fee.

Do you recycle appliances?

Yes — white goods to scrap-metal recycling, refrigerants handled per regulations, working units offered to donation first.

Can you clear a whole kitchen renovation?

Yes — fridge, range, dishwasher, and the laundry pair in one trip; a fridge plus dishwasher plus electric range is $407 flat.

Can the alley scrappers just take it?

Sometimes they beat us to it — Chicago's alley economy is real. But for anything still plumbed in, upstairs, or on a schedule, we disconnect, carry, and recycle it properly, same-day.
