Refrigerator Disposal

New refrigerators are modern looking, energy saving machines that often replace old, outdated models that make your kitchen look drab. Those old fridges are usually large items that are heavy and bulky. Those made prior to 1995 may contain environmentally damaging Freon or ammonia gases and must be dealt with correctly.

Packing them out of a house can be challenging and doorways tight. You can get a friend or relative to help, but once out of the house where does it go? Beg, borrow or rent a truck? Drive around the city looking for the disposal site?

We make it easy! If you have one that needs to be disposed of, save your knuckles and back, and let our professional refrigerator removal team take it away.

What to Do With Old Refrigerators

Working refrigerators, bar fridges, chest freezers, and combinations can be sold or given away. The most difficult task is getting it out of your home or business safely, for it to be taken to a new home. Depending on where that fridge or freezer is, may involve stairs too.

You can even donate that old working fridge or freezer to a charity or other organization that helps others. Charities often have someone in mind when they get a request for a fridge pick up. They’ll usually send a truck and take it away. Businesses that sell donated goods low cost use the proceeds to provide services like soup kitchens and shelters for women and children, or the homeless.

Alternatively, you can take that unwanted refrigerator to be recycled. However, it still needs to be carried out and loaded on a truck and taken away. If you don’t have the time, help, or truck, call on us for a bulky item pickup. We’ll haul away a fridge or freezer, so you don’t have to.

How to Get Rid of Old Refrigerators

There are several ways of getting rid of refrigerators. You can sell or give them away if they still work. Many people are looking for an inexpensive fridge for their cottage or camp, college-age children, or a second one for their favorite beverages.

If they no longer work, they could be repurposed into new uses for critter proof storage. They could also be taken and recycled. If you don’t feel the urge to purge it yourself, let us do a refrigerator pick up and clean out for you.

Where Can I Take Old Refrigerators to Dump?

Old refrigerators are heavy items and can’t just be left at the curb as junk. They are not trash that most landfill sites will take due to harmful ammonia or Freon gas and other chemicals some contain that can contaminate drinking water. They have to be taken to a recycling center or transfer site.

Need some help? We have trucks and helping hands that will save your back doing refrigerator disposal. Our team will take your old cooler to an eco-friendly site for scrapping.

Can Refrigerators Be Recycled?

Refrigerator recycling is the way to go. Waste sites won’t take them in an effort to protect the ground and drinking water from contaminants. Also, many fridge and freezer units contain metals and plastics that can be reused or melted down into new products.

If you need a hand for freezer or refrigerator recycling, our professionals are just a call away from doing your haul away.
