Appliance removal.

Appliance removal is priced by volume, which means how much room your load takes up in the truck, not by the hour and not by the appliance. One fridge is a small load; a whole kitchen is a bigger one. You get your number in person, standing next to the appliance, before anything is lifted. If it doesn't work for you, we leave and there's nothing to pay.

Yes. One fridge, one washer, one oven is a normal call, and single appliances are usually the quickest jobs of the day. Tell us what it is and where it is, and we'll tell you straight what taking it away looks like.

No. Leave it where it is and we do the carrying, including up and down steps and out of tight kitchen doors. Where something is still plumbed in or hard-wired, say what it is when you call and we'll tell you straight what needs to happen before we drive out. We sweep the space behind it before we leave.

Working or dead, both travel on the same truck. If it still runs, say so when you call: a working appliance is the one worth keeping out of the scrap pile, and usable machines get donated rather than broken up.

That's the whole business. Call (408) 202-9877 and in most cases we're there the same day, often within a few hours. Call in the morning and the old appliance is usually gone by the evening. If the day is already full we'll tell you straight on the phone instead of booking you and not turning up.

Appliance bodies are mostly steel, so scrap metal is separated out and recovered. What can be recycled gets recycled, and the rest goes to a licensed transfer station.

Hazardous waste is the one thing we can't carry: paint, solvents, motor oil, chemicals, asbestos and medical waste have to go to a hazardous waste facility, because the transfer stations we use won't accept them. Tell us what you've got when you call and we'll say yes or no before we drive out.

Every week. Landlords and property managers get a unit's appliances out the day it turns over, so it's ready to show. Offices and restaurants can have us come after hours if that's when it works, and a full commercial line can go in one visit rather than a week of small trips.
