Question 1

Are appliances able to be recycled?

Accepted Answer

Many large and small appliances can be recycled. Appliances often contain heavy metals and toxic chemicals that need to be disposed of properly, so recycling your old appliances is the best choice for eco-friendly disposal.

Larger appliances like washers and dryers, ovens, dishwashers and refrigerators can be broken down and sold as scrap metal. However, for certain appliances like air conditioners, a professional must remove the freon before it can be scrapped. You will be responsible for moving, lifting, loading and transporting your appliances to the scrap yard. The market value of different metals frequently changes, so there is no guaranteed amount you will receive for a scrapped appliance.

Question 2

How much does appliance removal cost?

Accepted Answer

Depending on the size of the appliance, the average cost for the removal and disposal of a single appliance starts at $75. If you have two to three items you need to get rid of, you can expect to pay between $127 to $177.

Most junk removal companies provide on-site estimates, which can wind up costing more than you originally expected to pay. On-site estimates are time consuming, especially if you decline the quote. If you would like to get a free estimate before someone arrives on-site, LoadUp offers guaranteed upfront pricing online. LoadUp collects payment at the time of booking with no surprise fees or haggling about the price at the time of your scheduled pickup.

Question 3

Does anyone take old appliances for free?

Accepted Answer

Some charities will pick up used appliances for free or for a small fee. However, appliances must be in good working condition to be eligible for donation. Some charities will charge you a fee if they discover they can’t accept your appliance, so make sure you research each charity’s requirements for in-home pickup and donation service.

Some charities, like Goodwill, can’t accept bulky or large appliances at all. If you bring your appliance to a charity drop-off center, they might offer to dispose of it in a landfill for you, where it will take 200-500 years to decompose. Appliances contain heavy metals that are often toxic to soil and groundwater, so you want to avoid the landfill whenever possible.

When you need affordable appliance disposal, LoadUp is a nationwide junk removal company that offers guaranteed, upfront pricing, with rates 20-30% lower than most other services. To get a fair price for professional appliance removal in your area, you can check prices in your area when you book online.

Question 4

How do I get an estimate for appliance haul away?

Accepted Answer

Most junk removal companies offer on-site free estimates where they evaluate the cost depending on the size and number of appliances you need to get rid of. Since on-site estimates are not guaranteed, they can end up costing you time and money, especially if you have to take time off from work for an appointment window. At LoadUp, we offer guaranteed upfront pricing before we come visit your home when you call or book online.
