That old fridge humming in the garage? The washer that gave up mid-cycle?
Appliances are great—until they’re heavy, awkward, and full of sharp corners.
Here’s how Sacramento homeowners can ditch dead appliances safely, legally, and without breaking the bank.
🧊 1. Understand California’s Appliance Laws
California doesn’t play around with refrigerants or electronics.
Dumping appliances is illegal (and comes with fines up to $1,000+).
They contain materials—freon, mercury, oils—that must be handled correctly.
That’s why we haul them to certified recycling centers only.
🔌 2. Common Appliances We Pick Up
- Refrigerators & freezers
- Washers & dryers
- Dishwashers
- Stoves, ovens, microwaves
- Water heaters
- Window AC units & mini-splits
If it plugs in or hums, we’ll haul it.
🚚 3. How We Remove Them Safely
Our crew handles disconnecting, lifting, and loading—no wall dings, no scratched floors.
We blanket-wrap heavy items and recycle all appliances at Sacramento Recycling & Transfer Station or Sims Metal Management.
We even remove doors from fridges (safety first—especially if kids are around).
💸 4. What Appliance Removal Costs in Sacramento
Average pricing:
| Appliance Type | Typical Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Small (microwave) | $50–$75 | Combine with other items to save |
| Medium (washer/dryer) | $80–$100 | Includes lift & recycle |
| Large (fridge/freezer) | $100–$150 | Includes freon recovery |
| Multiple appliances | Custom quote | Discounted bundle pricing |
Pro Tip: Combine your appliance pickup with a few boxes or furniture pieces.
One trip = one lower rate.
🧰 5. Donation & Reuse Options
If it still works, we’ll donate it to:
- Habitat for Humanity ReStore (Roseville / Rancho Cordova)
- Goodwill Appliance Re-Use Program (Elk Grove)
We test and label working items before drop-off.
🧠 6. DIY Drop-Off (If You Really Want To)
If you insist on doing it yourself:
- Drain any water or oil.
- Remove doors/lids.
- Transport upright if possible.
- Drop at Kiefer Landfill’s Appliance Recycling Area.
It’s cheaper—but it’s also a workout. We’ll handle the sweat part if you prefer. 😉
