Appliance Disposal Redding CA
Refrigerators, washers, dryers, stoves, and water heaters are some of the most common junk removal calls we get — and some of the hardest to move yourself. They’re heavy, awkward in doorways and stairwells, and California has specific rules around refrigerant and freon that mean you can’t just set one at the curb. Our appliance disposal Redding CA crew picks up old appliances and disposes of them the right way.
Appliances We Remove
Why Appliance Disposal Isn’t a DIY Job
Refrigerators, freezers, and window AC units contain refrigerant that’s regulated under California and federal law — it has to be professionally recovered before the unit can be scrapped, which most curbside pickup and DIY dump runs don’t account for. On top of that, a full-size fridge or washer is 150-300+ pounds, awkward to balance on a hand truck, and easy to damage floors or door frames moving alone. We carry the right equipment and know how to get large appliances out without putting a dent in your hallway.
How It Works
Book online or call, tell us what appliance (or appliances) you need gone, and we’ll give you a price up front. We show up, disconnect anything that needs it (water lines, gas lines should be shut off by a plumber beforehand if applicable), carry it out, and haul it away — same day in most cases.
Appliance Recycling
Old appliances are mostly metal, and scrap steel, copper, and aluminum from refrigerators, washers, and dryers get recycled rather than landfilled whenever possible. Refrigerant is recovered separately per state requirements before the unit is processed.
Appliance Removal Pricing
Most single appliances run $75-$150 to $100-$250 depending on size — a standard fridge or washer usually lands at the lower end, while multiple appliances from a kitchen or laundry room swap can push into quarter-load pricing. See the junk removal cost guide for typical pricing, or call for a free, no-obligation quote.
Replacing an Old Appliance?
If you’re swapping out an old appliance for a new one, ask your delivery company if they’ll haul the old unit away first — if not, or if you need it gone before the new one arrives, we can usually schedule same-day pickup. This pairs well with a broader furniture and appliance removal job or a full garage cleanout.

How to Prepare an Appliance for Pickup
For refrigerators and freezers, empty out any remaining food beforehand — we can’t take units full of spoiled contents. Doors don’t need to be removed or taped shut for us, but if young kids or pets are around the house before pickup, it’s worth propping a door so it doesn’t latch shut. For washers and dryers, disconnecting is optional — mention it when booking and we’ll handle the water line and gas or electrical disconnect ourselves as part of the job.
Do you take non-working or damaged appliances?
Yes — whether it broke down last week or hasn’t worked in five years doesn’t change what we charge or whether we’ll take it. Recyclers care about the metal content, not whether the compressor still runs.

Letting us know upfront how many refrigerant-containing appliances are part of your pickup helps us route the load to the right facility on the first trip.
