Is your appliance ready for pickup?
Most appliances need no prep beyond emptying them. We unplug the unit and unhook standard water lines, ice-maker lines and washer hoses on site. Gas lines have to be capped by a pro before we arrive, and hardwired units like most dishwashers need a quick conversation first.
Ready for pickup
Your appliance is ready when it is freestanding, empty, and reachable through a clear path. Still plugged in or hooked to a water line? That's fine. We take care of that on site.
- Gas shut off and the line capped by a pro, if it's a gas unit
- Still plugged in or on a water line? We unhook it on site
- No food, ice, standing water, clothing, or loose contents
- Detached from surrounding cabinets, counters, or mounting hardware
- Clear doorways, halls, stairs, and exterior access
- The appliance type and location were included with the estimate request
Preparation still needed
Take care of these before pickup day, or tell us about them when you book.
- •Refrigerator or freezer still contains food or ice
- •Front-load washer still holding water (run a drain or spin cycle)
- •Gas dryer, range, or oven still connected to the gas line
- •Hardwired dishwasher, range, or built-in unit (call us first)
- •Appliance cannot be reached without moving unrelated belongings
Contact us before scheduling
Send photos and details first when the unit is unusually large, damaged, leaking, located on a difficult stairway, or different from a typical household appliance.
- •Commercial or oversized equipment
- •Window air conditioner, dehumidifier, or another refrigerant-containing unit
- •Appliance with visible leaking, severe rust, or structural damage
- •Tight spiral stairs, narrow landings, or unusual building access
- •Appliance type or approximate weight is unknown
How to prepare each appliance for removal
We disconnect every appliance that isn't hardwired. We unplug it, shut the water valve, and unhook water lines, ice-maker lines, and washer hoses on site. We don't touch gas: a gas line has to be shut off and capped by a licensed plumber, an HVAC pro, or your gas utility before we arrive. Hardwired units, like most dishwashers and some ranges, need a quick conversation first.
Refrigerators and freezers
Remove all food, ice, and personal items. Defrost the appliance when necessary, drain and dry any remaining water, and secure or remove loose interior shelves. Unplug it a day ahead if it needs to defrost. We unhook the water or ice-maker line on site.
Washing machines
Empty the drum. We shut off the valves and unhook the supply and drain hoses on site. Front-loaders hold water, so run a drain or spin cycle first, and tell us if the washer is in a basement, recessed laundry space, or stacked installation.
Electric and gas dryers
Remove clothing and loose items from the drum. We unplug electric dryers and pull the vent on site. A gas dryer needs the gas shut off and the line capped by a qualified professional before we arrive.
Stoves, ranges, and ovens
Make sure it is cool and empty. We unplug plug-in electric ranges on site. A gas range needs the line shut off and capped by a pro first, and a hardwired electric range must be unhooked before we arrive. Built-in wall ovens must be released from the cabinet first. A single stove is usually covered by our $115 minimum.
Dishwashers and built-in appliances
Most are hardwired, so call or text us first. We may handle it, or an electrician or plumber may need to disconnect it.
Other household appliances
Microwaves and other freestanding household appliances may be accepted as part of an approved pickup. Contact us first about commercial equipment, cooling equipment, unusually heavy units, or an appliance not listed on this page.
Removal starts where installation ends
Appliance hauling and appliance installation are different jobs. Establishing that boundary before the appointment avoids delays and makes the estimate more accurate.
What our removal service covers
- Unplugging and unhooking water lines, ice-maker lines, and washer hoses on non-hardwired appliances
- Carrying approved appliances out from where they sit
- Lifting, carrying, loading, and hauling the appliance
- Planning around reported stairs, doorways, and building access
- Directing accepted appliances to an appropriate receiving outlet
- Providing pricing before removal work begins
What must be completed before arrival
- •Gas-line disconnection
- •Hardwired electrical disconnection
- •HVAC or refrigerant-system service
- •Cabinet, countertop, or structural disassembly
- •Removal of food, water, fuel, chemicals, or other contents
Not sure whether yours is hardwired or on gas? Text us a photo of the back of the unit before the appointment. Do not attempt gas, electrical, or refrigerant work yourself.
The pickup plan depends on where the appliance sits
A refrigerator beside an exterior door is a different removal job from a washer in a basement or a range inside an upstairs apartment. Tell us the appliance's exact location so we can evaluate access before arrival.
Kitchen or first-floor appliance
Report narrow doorways, islands, counters, flooring transitions, and exterior steps. Clear loose rugs, chairs, pet gates, and other movable objects from the route.
Basement or lower-level appliance
Send photos of the appliance, the complete staircase, landings, turns, and the exit door. Mention narrow steps, low ceilings, exterior bulkhead doors, or limited space at the top and bottom of the stairs.
Apartment or condominium
Confirm the floor number and whether the building has an elevator. Tell us about elevator reservations, loading areas, parking restrictions, entry codes, or building scheduling requirements.
Garage, shed, or curbside location
Explain whether the appliance is inside a structure or already staged outside. It should be empty, with any gas line capped. Also report gates, gravel, slopes, soft ground, or restricted vehicle access.
Photos that show both the appliance and its removal path are more useful than a close-up of the appliance alone.
Replacing an appliance? Plan the handoff
Removal timing matters when a new appliance is being delivered. A small amount of planning can prevent the old unit from blocking installation or being removed before the replacement is confirmed.
Confirm the retailer's policy
Ask whether the delivery company includes haul-away, what it charges, and whether the old appliance must already be disconnected. Retailer policies vary.
Confirm the replacement will fit
Verify the new appliance's measurements, utility requirements, delivery window, and installation plan before permanently removing the old unit.
Line up a pro only if you need one
Gas appliances need a plumber, HVAC pro, or the gas utility to cap the line, and hardwired units may need an electrician. Plug-in and water-line appliances don't: we unhook those on site.
Choose the removal window
If the retailer is not taking the old unit, schedule Zach's Pack after any gas line is capped and at a time that does not interfere with delivery access.
Keep both routes clear
Make sure the outgoing appliance and incoming replacement can travel through the property without blocking one another.
Choose the guide for your appliance
Use the page that matches the primary appliance you need removed. For several different appliances, request one estimate and list every unit.
Preparation guidance for food storage, defrosting, water lines, interior shelving, and refrigerator access.
Planning for chest and upright freezers, including emptying, defrosting, drainage, and basement access.
Requirements for water hoses, drains, dryer vents, gas connections, stacked units, and laundry-room access.
Guidance for electric and gas cooking appliances, freestanding ranges, and units installed within cabinetry.

What affects an appliance removal estimate?
Appliance-removal pricing depends on more than the item's name. The estimate may be affected by the number and type of appliances, size and weight, floor level, stairs, removal-path difficulty, parking access, special handling, and receiving-facility requirements.
Information that helps us estimate the job
Accurate information helps us prepare an accurate estimate and reduces the chance that an unresolved connection or access problem delays the pickup.
Why appliances require different handling
Old appliances are not always handled like ordinary household junk. Many units contain substantial metal components, while refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, and similar equipment may contain refrigerants or other materials that require an appropriate receiving facility.
The final handling option depends on the appliance type, condition, and facility acceptance. We do not promise that every appliance or every component will be recycled. Contact us if you need to confirm whether a specific appliance can be accepted before scheduling.
