How appliance removal works
Text us a photo of the appliance and where it's sitting, or book a free in-person estimate online with no obligation. Dominic often quotes straight from photos, and the price we give you is the price you pay. No hidden fees.
On the day, we text you before we arrive. Dominic works jobs himself alongside his crew, and we do all the lifting and carrying. Nothing needs to be dragged to the curb. We'll bring a refrigerator up the basement stairs, a washer out of a second-floor laundry room, or a chest freezer out of the garage.
We're careful with floors, walls and doorways on the way out, and we sweep up where the appliance stood. Travis D., who had us remove a fridge and basement furniture, wrote that the crew was "…very respectful of both our home and our specific instructions."
Appliances we haul away
We remove appliances one at a time or as part of a bigger cleanout, from homes and garages across Monmouth, Mercer, Middlesex, Ocean and Burlington counties. Common pickups include:
What we can't take: propane tanks, or anything hazardous like paint, chemicals, motor oil, asbestos or medical waste. If you're not sure about something, text us a photo.
- Refrigerators, freezers and chest freezers
- Washers and dryers
- Stoves and ranges
- Dishwashers and microwaves
- Window air conditioners and dehumidifiers
- Water heaters that have already been disconnected and drained
- Grills, with the propane tank removed
Getting your appliance ready
A few steps on your end make pickup quick and safe. We don't do electrical, gas or plumbing disconnects, so please take care of these before we arrive:
- Unplug the appliance. If it's hardwired, as many dishwashers and electric water heaters are, have a licensed electrician disconnect it.
- Empty a refrigerator or freezer and let it defrost so it doesn't leak on the way out.
- Have a gas dryer, gas stove or gas water heater shut off and capped by your gas utility or a licensed professional.
- Shut off the water and disconnect the lines to a washer, dishwasher or ice maker, calling a plumber if needed. Drain a water heater before pickup.
- Take the propane tank off a grill and keep it.
- Mention stairs, tight turns or a long carry when you send photos so your price is accurate.
Where your old appliance goes
We sort every load. An appliance in good working shape may be donated, and metal is recycled whenever possible. Whatever can't be reused goes to a licensed New Jersey facility.
Appliances that contain refrigerant, such as refrigerators, freezers, window AC units and dehumidifiers, cost more to dispose of legally. That extra disposal cost is already included in the price we quote you. New Jersey Junk Removal is an NJ A-901 licensed hauler, registered with the NJDEP (#0042737), and fully insured.
How pricing works for appliance removal
Appliance removal is priced per job, not by the truckload. What moves the price: which appliances are going (anything with refrigerant costs more to dispose of legally), how many there are, and how hard they are to reach. A refrigerator already sitting in the garage is a quicker job than one coming up narrow basement stairs or down from a second floor. The price we quote is the price you pay, with no hidden fees. It covers all lifting and carrying, hauling, disposal fees, donation and recycling drop-offs and the sweep-up. If you add items on the day, we tell you the new price before anything else goes on the truck.
Every job is priced individually. The price we quote is the price you pay — no hidden fees. See how we price jobs.
