Old fridge out, without wrecking your floors or your back
A refrigerator is one of the heaviest things in a house. It's tall, top-heavy and usually wedged between cabinets or stuck in a garage corner. It also contains refrigerant, which federal rules say has to be recovered before the fridge is scrapped or landfilled. You can't just put it out at the curb in some cities without a Freon removal certificate.
Zach's Pack Hauling carries old refrigerators out of kitchens, basements and garages around Dayton and hauls them away, with proper refrigerant disposal included.

How fridge removal works
Photo and path
Text 326-900-8944 a photo, the fridge's location and any stairs between it and the door.
Firm price
You get the price before we move it.
Careful carry-out

Refrigerant handled
It goes to a facility where the refrigerant is recovered before the fridge is scrapped.
Getting the fridge ready
- Empty all food and throw out anything spoiled.
- Unplug it a day ahead and prop the doors open with towels down to defrost.
- Ice maker or water dispenser? No need to disconnect it. We shut off the valve and unhook the water line on site. Point out the shutoff if you know where it is.
- Take out loose shelves and drawers you want to keep, or tape them in place.
- Measure tight doorways. French-door and side-by-side models are wide.

Other ways to get rid of a refrigerator near Dayton
We'd rather you hire us because it makes sense, not because nobody told you about the free options. Rules below are from official city and county pages. Check the linked page before you set anything out, since programs change.

Greene County Environmental Services in Xenia accepts refrigerators from Greene County residents. Staff remove the Freon, and you're asked to take the doors off first.

Call us when you can't get it out the door yourself, the new one is coming tomorrow, or you don't want to deal with Freon paperwork or a transfer station run.
Fridge safety
- Never leave an old fridge outside or unattended with the doors on. A child can get trapped inside. Take the doors off if it has to wait.
- Don't cut the coolant lines to make it lighter. Venting refrigerant is against federal rules.
- Fridges are top-heavy. Strap them to a dolly and never tip one on its side down stairs.
What happens to an old fridge
Under EPA rules, the final facility in the disposal chain has to make sure the refrigerant is recovered. After that, most of the steel can be recycled.
