The delivery crew wouldn't take the old one. The dead washer is in the basement. The fridge in the garage hasn't worked since 2019. We haul them out and take them to a local recycler.
Free onsite estimate, no obligation
Full service: all the lifting, hauling and disposal included
Appliances are heavy, awkward, and can't just go in a landfill. We've removed over 380 appliances in the last 24 months, from basement chest freezers to commercial kitchen equipment. Disconnect the water, gas or power (or have your installer do it) and we'll happily handle the carrying, the dolly work and the stairs.
Every appliance we pick up goes to a local recycler who handles it responsibly: the metal is recovered and the rest is processed the right way. Nothing gets left in an alley.

How Appliance Removal & Recycling Works
1
Book a free onsite estimate
Book online, or call or text (312) 800-1940. Pick an arrival window that suits you. Same-day and next-day are often available, Monday through Saturday.
2
The crew gives you a firm price on the spot
They take a look at everything and give you one number that covers the labor, loading, hauling and disposal. There's no obligation, so if it doesn't work for you, they simply leave and there's no charge.
3
Say yes and it's gone, in the same visit
The crew carries everything out from wherever it sits, loads it up, and sweeps up after themselves. Most jobs are finished right then and there.
4
All done, with a receipt to prove it
Once everything is loaded and swept, the crew takes payment and emails you a receipt with before-and-after photos, so you can see the job is complete.

Appliance Removal & Recycling in ChicagoAppliance Removal & Recycling in Chicago
A Beverly home had three heavy things going at once: an old side-by-side refrigerator in the basement, a California king bed with a solid headboard and footboard, and a queen mattress and box spring from a second bedroom.
A Woodlawn basement had absorbed everything over the years: exercise equipment, paneling and plywood from an old finished-basement project, furniture, luggage, holiday decorations, even bowling pins and an artificial palm tree.
A two-story Deerfield home had leftover contents to clear after a move: a basement lined floor to ceiling with boxes and shelving, filing cabinets, and a crawl space packed with even more boxes.
Yes, please. Unplug electric appliances, and have gas and water lines shut off and disconnected before we arrive. We don't do plumbing, gas or electrical work, so if a stove is still connected to gas, we'll have to leave it.
Where do the appliances go?
To a local recycler who recycles them responsibly. That's included in the price.
Does Chicago pick up appliances on garbage day?
No. Refrigerators and other white goods need a 311 bulk pickup request and often a wait. ComEd has periodically run a fridge recycling program, which is worth checking if you're not in a hurry.
Do you take a working appliance?
Yes. If it works and is reasonably current, we'll try to re-home it rather than scrap it.
Can you get a washer out of a basement?
Yes. Basement appliances are routine for us, and the crew sizes up the stairs as part of the estimate.
Do I need to be home?
You're welcome to be there, and most people are. If the items are outside, in the garage or the alley, or the home is vacant with a lockbox, the crew can do the job without you. They'll text you before-and-after photos and take payment by phone or with a card on file.
We don't quote by phone, because we'd rather give you a number we can stand behind. The crew comes out for free, looks at what's going and how it's getting out (stairs, elevators, heavy material and all), and gives you one price that covers everything. Say yes and they do the job right then. Say no and there's no charge, no hard feelings.
The price is confirmed on site before anything moves, so there are no surprises on the invoice. How our pricing works →
