Refrigerator Removal In NYC
When upgrading a kitchen or clearing out a property, old fridges and freezers become heavy, awkward items that are difficult to move through tight spaces. Our refrigerator removal service handles these appliances safely. We disconnect water lines, protect floors and doorways, and manage the entire haul-away process with upfront pricing and responsible routing to recycling or disposal. We offer in-home pickup, curbside collection, and full space cleanouts when needed.
Note: We do not accept hazardous waste.
Full-Service Refrigerator Removal
A refrigerator removal project involves more than lifting and loading. Our approach includes:
- In-home pickup or curbside pickup.
- Safe disconnection of power cords and water supply hoses for ice makers and dispensers.
- Protection for floors, corners, and doorways in cramped or tight spaces.
- Heavy-duty dollies and appliance dollies for stairs and elevators.
- Transportation to disposal with routing to recycling facilities, local government recycling programs, or donation channels when possible.
- A precise, custom quote with upfront pricing.
- Handling that follows responsible appliance disposal practices for refrigerants and insulation materials.
- Support from an experienced team trained for heavy-duty and challenging removals.

The Removal Process
Book online or call
Choose a pickup date that fits your schedule. Use our booking system to request a free estimate and share details such as stairs, narrow doorways, or outdoor placement.
On-site assessment and custom quote
We assess access, doorway widths, stairways, and elevator limits. Pricing is based on volumetric measurement, access, size in cubic feet, and unit condition.
Safe disconnection and preparation
We confirm the refrigerator is powered down, disconnect water hoses and the water line, secure shelves, and protect floors and walls.
Haul away and transport
We use heavy-duty equipment and padding to move the unit safely. Appliances are routed to disposal networks, recycling facilities, or donation partners.
Proper disposal
Units are processed through approved recycling workflows or donation channels when possible. All pricing is transparent and disclosed beforehand.

Do you recycle old refrigerators and room air conditioner units?
Yes. We route refrigerators and room AC units to recycling or government recycling facilities whenever possible. Refrigerants and foam are handled according to responsible guidelines.

Replacing older appliances with energy-efficient units may reduce energy use. We also remove water coolers, wine coolers, and other refrigerated items.

Angel cleaned out an entire 1BR apt for me in an afternoon – 2 truckloads at a very good, transparent flat rate – even did the carpet and nails. Couldnt recommend more – clean, efficient, and honest.
SSteven Turville -
These gentlemen answered my last minute call with friendly, super fast, same day service. They went above and beyond for me and my family when we had a death in the family and needed a last minute cleaning out of a storage unit. I can’t recommend these gentlemen highly enough. NG

We hired them for a tough job in our backyard. Angel was very professional from our very first interaction. He gave us a prompt estimate, was responsive, punctual, fast to schedule, and thorough.rnrnNot only did they haul away a chain link fence, metal, wood, and heavy concrete pavers from our backyard through the basement and up the stairs – they also had to clear and haul construction debris that was blocking the door they needed to go through (picture attached).rnrnNo job seemed too big or too small. We dealt with competitors that wasted our time (no-shows, late, disappeared, or focused on issues instead of partnering with us to find solutions). We both have demanding careers, are new landlords, and have a toddler – so finding a company that respects your time and goes the extra mile is incredibly valuable.
