How Much is Appliance Removal?
Each junk removal service charges a different price to pick up your unwanted appliances. You can find prices for appliance removal listed on the web for anywhere between $80 and $625. That’s because each junk removal company has different factors that influence their appliance removal cost.
Using a junk removal service to get rid of an old refrigerator or chest freezer could cost a little more than if you were to dispose of your appliance yourself.

Professional haulers have to charge for their services because to responsibly dispose of your washer or dryer, they have to pay for the disposal fees they’re charged by the disposal facility.
A professional junk removal company also has to cover their overhead costs such as licensing and background checks for the professionals picking up the appliances, as well as insurance policies and proper equipment to ensure you are protected from any accidental damage that may occur during the appliance removal process.

With our trusted junk removal pros, you should consider using a local hauling company like LoadUp, instead of using a number you found on Craigslist or TaskRabbit, to pick up and dispose of your old dishwasher or wine cooler.
However, there are a few other things you can consider to help you make sure you’re getting the least expensive appliance removal service possible.
Proper vs. Improper Appliance Disposal Methods
Many junk removers would rather take the easy way out and just dump all the appliances and other junk they pick up at the local landfill rather than take the time to donate or recycle items that can be kept out of the dump.
It’s important to find an appliance removal service that not only uses eco-friendly disposal methods like donation and recycling, but also uses responsible disposal methods for items that are not salvageable.
When junk pickup services get rid of appliances by donating or recycling rather than taking them to the dump, the haulers actually save more money which ultimately means they are able to pass those savings on to their customers.
Booking Appliance Removal
Many junk removal services advertise same-day service for disposal of your old air conditioner or portable fireplace, but this can be misleading since it doesn’t always mean same-day pickup. It can be days or weeks before a junk hauler can haul away your old appliances.
That’s because for most junk removal companies, you have to book an appointment for them to send someone out and then they give you a price estimate for your appliance pickup. Once you finally get your quote, you have to schedule yet another appointment for your appliance to be hauled away.
The problem with this is that you have to be there for both appointments. Unless you have a lot of free time on your hands, you’ll probably have to take time off work or cancel plans so you can be there.
Appliance Removal Pricing
Most junk removal services base their pricing on the volume of the items they are picking up. This tactic makes it easier for the person picking up your appliances to jack up the price once your appliances and any other items are loaded onto the truck.

When a junk removal company bases their prices on volume but you only have one or two appliances, like a mini fridge or lawn mower you need to get rid of, this can make it very costly and inefficient for you to remove just a few items.
Most Affordable Appliance Disposal Service
You’ll get affordable appliance removal when booking an appliance pickup with LoadUp.
LoadUp disposes of the appliances and all other junk they pick up in an eco-friendly way. Appliances that are in good condition are donated to local charities or taken to be recyled.

When you book our in-home appliance pickup or curbside pickup, you are able to schedule it for whichever date and time works best for you. Whether you book your pickup online or over the phone, and they can most likely haul your appliance as soon as the following morning.

It also means that you don’t have to wait around all day for your appliance to be picked up because you get to choose the time slot that works best for you, saving you hours of valuable time in your day. You’ll also get an email with a GPS tracking link to track when your Loaders are headed your way!
