Nobody wants to carry a 250-pound refrigerator down two flights of stairs. We do it every week. Unplug it, empty it, and we'll have it gone the right way.
Free onsite estimate, no obligation
Full service: all the lifting, hauling and disposal included
Old refrigerators are the appliance people most often get stuck with: the new one is delivered but the crew won't take the old one down the stairs, the garage fridge finally died, the basement chest freezer hasn't been opened in years. We've hauled over 200 refrigerators and freezers in the last 24 months.
A fridge can't go to a landfill. Ours go to a local recycler who handles them responsibly. If a unit still works and is reasonably efficient, we'll try to re-home it instead.
What We Take
Full-size refrigerators (top, bottom, side-by-side, French door)
Chest and upright freezers
Mini fridges, wine and beverage coolers
Commercial reach-ins and display coolers
Built-in and counter-depth units (pulled from the cabinetry)
Ice makers and kegerators
Basement and garage units of any age
How Refrigerator & Freezer Removal 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.
See It In Action
Refrigerator & Freezer Removal in ChicagoRefrigerator & Freezer Removal 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.
Empty it, yes. Defrosting is nice but not required. If you can, unplug it the night before and put a towel underneath.
Where does it go?
To a local recycler who recycles refrigerators responsibly. That's included in the price.
Will Chicago pick up my old fridge?
Not on garbage day. Chicago residents can request a bulk pickup through 311, but expect a wait and some rules about placement. ComEd has offered a fridge recycling pickup with a rebate at various times, which is worth checking if you're not in a hurry.
Can you take a built-in or a Sub-Zero style unit?
Yes. Built-ins need to be unscrewed from the cabinetry and they're heavy, so let us know in advance and we'll send the right crew.
Do you take commercial coolers?
Yes, once they're disconnected.
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 →
