Denver Appliance Removal & Haul-Away
Appliance and Refrigerator Removal in Denver, CO
The dead one in the basement is our kind of job.
Comparing costs first? The refrigerator and heavy item removal cost guide has every number.
One washer, dryer, stove or already-disconnected water heater is $149. A fridge, freezer or window AC unit is $149 plus $50 for the refrigerant, so $199. We carry it out of the kitchen, the laundry room or the basement, and you approve the price before we lift it.

The Short Answer
Appliance Removal From $149.
$149 covers the first 2 cubic yards, which fits one appliance or a washer and dryer together. Each yard after that is $75. Fridges, freezers and AC units add $50 each for the refrigerant, and stairs are $25 a flight.
| Job | Curb, driveway or garage | Inside, basement or upstairs |
|---|---|---|
| One washer, dryer, stove, dishwasher or disconnected water heater | $149 | $149, plus $25 a flight |
| A washer and dryer together | $149 | $149, plus $25 a flight |
| One fridge, freezer or window AC unit | $199 | $199, plus $25 a flight |
| Two or three appliances (2 to 3 yards) | $149 to $224 | $149 to $224, plus $25 a flight |
| A whole kitchen swap or a remodel pile | By the yard: 4 yards is $299 | By the yard, plus $25 a flight |
Add $50 for each fridge, freezer or AC unit in any row. A carry over 100 ft from the truck is +$40. No travel, fuel or dump fee.
A worked example. A dead fridge at the bottom of the basement stairs: $149 for the fridge, plus $50 for the refrigerant, plus $25 for the one flight up. $224, said at the door and approved by you before it moves.
How quoting works: text a photo of the appliance where it sits, plus the stairs. A range comes back by text, usually within 10 minutes during business hours, with anything that needs disconnecting first. We arrive inside the window we give you, and you approve the price on site before we start. Pickups run out of the Golden office across Golden, Lakewood, Wheat Ridge, Arvada, Denver and up to Evergreen. Every add-on is on the pricing page.
Before You Pay Anyone
Free Options First, If Yours Qualifies.
Old appliances have better free routes than almost anything else in the house. If one of these fits, use it. Checked September 2026; confirm with each source before you plan around it.
Denver Appliance Collection
Free for households on Denver's city trash service, by appointment: call 311 (720-913-1311). It takes stoves, water heaters, furnaces, dishwashers, microwaves, fridges, freezers, AC units, washers and dryers, and the city handles the Freon and recycles the metal. Note that Denver's regular Large Item Pickup does not take appliances; our Denver large item pickup guide covers what it does take.
Xcel Energy fridge recycling
For Xcel residential electric customers: a working fridge or freezer, 10 to 30 cubic feet, built 2021 or earlier, picked up from the garage, driveway or yard, with a $50 rebate check. Mini fridges usually do not qualify, and a unit above the second floor needs an elevator.
Habitat for Humanity ReStore
Takes appliances in full working order only, with a $20 handling fee on anything that may contain Freon. Pickups wait outside or in the garage, because its staff do not enter homes.
City drop-off days
Wheat Ridge's free drop-off day takes washers, dryers, stoves, dishwashers and water heaters, but not fridges, freezers or microwaves; how the day works is on our Wheat Ridge page. Arvada's drop-off days refuse Freon appliances; see our Arvada page for the program. In Golden, the city points working fridges to Xcel and working appliances to Habitat; its trash program is on our Golden page.
The fridge nobody free will take
Xcel's own rules say it may decline an appliance in a basement or anywhere with restricted access, and it only takes working units. Habitat only takes working ones too. Curbside appliance scrappers generally will not come inside. So a dead fridge at the bottom of the basement stairs, outside Denver's city trash service, is the one every free option skips. That is the job we do.

Fridges and Freezers
Refrigerator Removal.
A fridge is $199: $149 for the space it takes, plus $50 because the disposal site charges to handle the refrigerant. Side-by-sides, French doors, garage beer fridges, mini fridges and chest freezers all price the same way. The chest freezer in the basement is usually the heaviest carry in the house, so tell us about the stairs.
If it only fit into the kitchen with the doors off, say so when you text, and we plan the carry around the doorway before we arrive.
- Empty it, and unplug it a day early so it can defrost; towels catch the drip
- Shut off the ice-maker water valve, or have your plumber disconnect the line
- Tape the doors shut so they cannot swing open on the stairs
Before We Arrive
Disconnected First. No Exceptions.
We haul appliances; we are not plumbers, electricians or gas fitters. We never disconnect a gas line or a water line, and we do not touch hardwired electrical. A gas dryer or range needs its line shut off and capped by a pro. A water heater needs to be drained and disconnected before we come.
It is the same rule every time, because a loose gas fitting is not a risk worth $149. Once it is free, you are done, and the few hundred pounds of steel are our problem.
Your Quick Checklist
- Unplugged, or the breaker off and the unit disconnected by an electrician if hardwired
- Water shut off and supply lines disconnected
- Gas line shut off and capped by a pro
- Water heater drained, washer hoses drained
- Fridge or freezer emptied and defrosted
Not sure what needs doing? Text a photo of the back of the appliance and we will tell you before we head out.
A Real Appliance Job
A Restaurant Lowboy in Evergreen, Same Day.
On September 22, 2026, an Evergreen restaurant needed a lowboy, the under-counter refrigerator on a commercial cook line, taken out. The schedule had room, so it went the same day. Commercial kitchen units follow the same rules as home ones: disconnected by your own tech first, priced by the space it takes plus $50 for the refrigerant. For kitchens, offices and rentals, a certificate of insurance is on file and goes out the same day during business hours, and commercial junk removal covers the rest of a business cleanout.

What We Take
Every Big Appliance in the House.
Refrigerators
Side-by-sides, garage fridges, mini fridges. +$50.
Freezers
Chest and upright, from the basement or garage. +$50.
Washers
Top-load and front-load, hoses drained.
Dryers
Electric, or gas with the line capped by a pro.
Ranges and Ovens
Freestanding stoves and cooktops, disconnected.
Dishwashers
Pulled and unhooked, then it is ours.
Water Heaters
Only once drained and disconnected.
AC Units and Microwaves
Window units (+$50), dehumidifiers, microwaves.
What we will not take
Anything still connected to gas, water or hardwired power; we will come back once it is free. Propane tanks, fuel, paint and chemicals stay behind too. Built-in wall ovens and hardwired ranges need an electrician or plumber to release them first, then we take it from there.
Where It Goes
Where Your Old Appliance Actually Goes.
Fridges, freezers and AC units go to the disposal site, where the refrigerant is handled. We do not recover refrigerant ourselves and we never vent it; that is what the $50 pays for.
Everything else mostly goes to an STS transfer station with the rest of the load. When a job adds up to a large amount of scrap metal, that metal is recycled.
Still working and in good shape? Tell us. Good-condition items sometimes go to Goodwill or the Salvation Army instead. We do not give donation receipts.
FAQ
Appliance Removal Questions.
How much does it cost to get rid of old appliances?
Free through Denver's appliance collection or Xcel's fridge recycling if you and the appliance qualify. With us, one appliance is $149, and so is a washer and dryer together. A fridge, freezer or AC unit adds $50 for the refrigerant, so $199. Stairs are $25 a flight, and you approve the price on site before we start.
How much does it cost to have a refrigerator taken away?
$199 with us: $149 plus $50 for the refrigerant, from the garage or the kitchen. From a basement, add $25 for the flight. If it still works, is 10 to 30 cubic feet and you are an Xcel electric customer, Xcel's recycling program may take it from outside for free and send a $50 rebate.
How do I dispose of appliances in Denver?
If you have Denver city trash service, call 311 to book a free appliance collection; the city handles the Freon and recycles the metal. A working fridge or freezer can go through Xcel's recycling program. If it is dead, inside, or you are outside Denver's city service, we carry it out from $149.
Do you handle the Freon in my old fridge?
We do not recover refrigerant ourselves, and we never vent it. We haul the fridge, freezer or AC unit to the disposal site, and the refrigerant is handled there. That is what the $50 add-on covers.
Do I need to disconnect the appliance first?
Yes. We never disconnect gas or water lines or hardwired electrical. Have it unplugged, the water shut off and lines disconnected, any gas line capped by a pro, and a fridge or freezer emptied and defrosted. Once it is free, we carry it out.
Will you take a water heater?
Yes, once it is already drained and disconnected from the water and gas or power. We do not disconnect it ourselves. Once it is free, it is $149 like any other single appliance, plus $25 a flight if it comes up from the basement.
Is it cheaper if I put the appliance at the curb myself?
It saves the stairs fee, $25 a flight, but not the $149 floor, because the truck, the drive and the disposal stop cost the same either way. If you cannot get it out safely, do not risk your back or the drywall; that carry is what we are for.
Do you take commercial kitchen equipment?
Yes, once your own tech has disconnected it. A restaurant lowboy in Evergreen went out the same day it was booked in September 2026. Refrigerated units add $50 for the refrigerant, and a certificate of insurance is on file for businesses and landlords.
How do I get rid of a small appliance?
A microwave, dehumidifier or toaster oven can ride along on any load we haul, and it only adds a sliver of a yard. On its own it still starts at the $149 minimum, so a free city option or a bigger load makes more sense for one small item.
How to dispose of a TV in Colorado?
TVs and other electronics are not landfill items in Colorado, so ask first before you add one to the load. Depending on the item, we take it to a dedicated electronics recycler rather than the transfer station. It rides along with a regular load at the same per-yard price.
Can you come today?
Sometimes. A single appliance is a quick stop, so text a photo early and we will tell you honestly whether today is open. It is never guaranteed. Hours are Monday to Saturday, 7am to 7pm, and Sunday by appointment.
