How Easy Offload Handles Appliance Removal
Fridges, washers, ranges, and everything else built to last a decade — we disconnect it, carry it out, and haul it off.
What Appliance Removal Includes
Appliance removal covers disconnecting a fridge, washer, range, or similar unit, carrying it out, and hauling it off — no dragging it to the curb yourself. It works for one dead appliance or a full kitchen swapped out during a remodel.
- Refrigerators & freezers
- Washers & dryers
- Dishwashers
- Stoves & ranges
- Water heaters
- Window & wall air conditioners
- Microwaves & small appliances
Replacing a full kitchen suite during a remodel
One dead washer or dryer that needs to go
An old fridge or freezer that's been sitting in the garage
Who Books Appliance Removal
Homeowner with a delivery coming
A new fridge or washer is arriving and the old one has to be out first.
Renter clearing out
Appliances left behind that a lease says have to go before move-out.
Landlord turning over a unit
A rental kitchen that needs a dead or dated appliance swapped before the next tenant.
Contractor mid-remodel
A full kitchen coming out at once as part of a bigger renovation.
Property manager
Multiple units, multiple appliances, often on the same schedule.
How Long Appliance Removal Takes
A single appliance is usually a short visit — disconnect it, carry it out, done. A full kitchen swap runs longer, since every major appliance needs its own two-person lift and any unit holding refrigerant needs that handled before it's loaded. We'll flag upfront if a job needs more than one visit.
- One appliance
- A single fridge or washer, disconnected and out the door in one short stop.
- Full kitchen swap
- Several major appliances at once, each needing its own careful lift.
- Multi-unit pickup
- Property managers batching several units' worth of appliances on one visit.
How Pricing Works
Appliances price mostly on weight, since they're dense even when they're not that big. A range or a full-size fridge carries real weight on its own, and units that hold refrigerant need it recovered by a certified tech before the piece can be scrapped, which adds handling time to the job.
Weight class
A fridge or range holds real weight as a single piece — weight drives the price more than the appliance's physical size.
Refrigerant handling
Fridges, freezers, and window AC units need refrigerant recovered by a certified tech before they can be scrapped.
Two-person lift
Most major appliances take two people to get down a hallway or stairs without marking up the walls.
Where it ends up
Metal-heavy appliances often route to a scrap recycler instead of the landfill, which can help keep the price down.
A photo of the appliance gets you a fixed price back — no obligation to book after that.
Appliance Removal vs Renting a Dumpster
Appliances are one category where a dumpster runs into a real problem: anything holding refrigerant needs it recovered by a certified tech first, and plenty of dumpster rental companies simply won't take those units at all.
| Factor | Appliance Removal with a crew | Renting a dumpster |
|---|---|---|
| Refrigerant | We handle refrigerant recovery as part of the pickup. | Many rental companies refuse fridges, freezers, and window AC units outright, or charge extra to accept them. |
| Weight | Our crew handles the two-person lift on dense units like ranges and fridges. | You're still lifting a heavy appliance up and over the bin wall yourself. |
| Recycling | Metal-heavy appliances get routed to a scrap recycler. | Appliances tossed in a mixed load usually just go to the landfill. |
| Timeline | One visit, appliance gone the same day. | You wait on delivery, fill it, then wait on pickup. |
If a fridge or AC unit is part of the load, check first — plenty of dumpster companies won't take it without proof the refrigerant's been pulled. For dry appliances that are just one part of a bigger multi-week gut job, a dumpster can work fine.
What We Can and Can't Take
We take
- Refrigerators & freezers
- Washers & dryers
- Dishwashers
- Stoves & ranges
- Water heaters
- Window air conditioners
- Microwaves & small appliances
We can't take
- Hazardous waste
- Paint & chemical containers
- Solvents
- Asbestos-wrapped ductwork or insulation
- Tires
- Medical waste
- Propane tanks
Leftover chemicals or old paint cans found near an appliance need to go through PaintCare or the county's household hazardous waste program instead of onto the truck; loose e-waste like batteries and bulbs has its own free drop-off too.
Where Your Load Actually Ends Up
Most of an old appliance is metal, so a lot of it heads to a scrap recycler rather than a landfill. Anything holding refrigerant gets that recovered separately by a certified tech first, since it can't legally go to a scrap yard or landfill with it still inside.
Recycled
Metal bodies and parts routed to a scrap recycler once they're cleared for it.
Refrigerant recovered
Pulled by a certified tech from fridges, freezers, and AC units before scrapping.
Landfilled
Non-metal components without a recycling stream — insulation, plastic housings, and the like.
How to Get Ready for Appliance Removal
- Unplug the appliance ahead of time if it's safe to do so.
- Defrost and empty a freezer or fridge the day before pickup.
- Drain hoses on a washer if you're able to.
- Clear a path from the appliance to the door.
- Flag anything hardwired or gas-connected — that may need a tech to shut off first.
None of this is required, but an empty, unplugged unit is a faster carry for the crew.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you disconnect the washer, dryer, or fridge lines yourselves?
Yes, our crew handles basic disconnects for standard hookups. Anything hardwired or gas-connected may need a tech to shut it off first.
Do you take appliances that still work?
We do. A working appliance doesn't need to be broken for us to take it — it's just as easy to remove as one that isn't.
What happens to the refrigerant in my old fridge or AC unit?
It gets recovered by a certified tech as part of the process before the unit is scrapped, which is standard for any appliance that holds refrigerant.
Is a single appliance pickup priced differently than a full kitchen swap?
Both are priced the same way, off weight and handling — a single unit is just a smaller version of the same job.
Do you handle appliance removal near me if I'm outside San Diego proper?
Coverage runs by area across the county, not just the city itself. Send your ZIP with a quote request and we'll confirm before you book.
