Appliance Removal in Anaheim, CA
Got an old refrigerator humming away in the garage, a dead washer taking up the laundry room, or a stove you've been meaning to haul off for months? You're not alone — and in Anaheim, getting rid of a big appliance is harder than it should be. They're heavy, they're awkward on stairs, and most of them can't just go out with the trash. This page connects Anaheim homeowners with fast, local appliance removal, with upfront pricing and no obligation. Send a photo, get a quote, and have it gone — often the same or next day.
Appliances We Help You Remove
Just about anything that plugs in or hooks up, we can get hauled away:
- Refrigerators and freezers (including garage and spare units)
- Washers and dryers
- Dishwashers
- Stoves, ovens, ranges, and cooktops
- Microwaves and over-the-range units
- Water heaters
- Air conditioners and window AC units
- Wine coolers and mini fridges
- Trash compactors and garbage disposals
- Built-in and stacked units (already disconnected makes it faster)
Got more than just an appliance? A lot of Anaheim folks bundle it with a full garage cleanout or general junk removal — it's usually cheaper to clear it all in one trip.
How It Works
Send a photo or call
Text a picture of the appliance — and where it sits (garage, upstairs, tight laundry closet) — to (714) 625-7568, or call and describe it. A photo gets you the most accurate price.

You'll know the price before anything moves. No hourly surprises, no "we'll figure it out when we get there."
It gets hauled away
A local Anaheim crew handles the heavy lifting, disconnection where needed, and proper disposal or recycling. You don't lift a thing.
What Does Appliance Removal Cost in Anaheim?
There's no single flat number, because the price depends on a few real things: what the appliance is (a microwave is not a 300-pound chest freezer), where it's located (curbside is easy; second-floor or a packed garage takes more work), whether it needs to be disconnected, and whether it contains refrigerant (more on that below). That's why the honest answer is a quick custom quote rather than a price plucked from the air.
The fastest way to get your number: text a photo of the appliance and its location to (714) 625-7568. Most quotes take about a minute, and the price you're quoted is the price you pay.
Anaheim's Free Disposal Options — and When You Actually Need a Hauler
Here's something most appliance-removal sites won't tell you: Anaheim has free and low-cost options, and sometimes they're the right call. Being straight about that is how you know you can trust us when you do need a pro.
Free city bulky-item pickup
Anaheim contracts with Republic Services, and every household gets three free bulky-item pickups per calendar year, up to 20 items per pickup. You schedule it by appointment by calling Republic Services at (714) 238-2444. It's a genuinely good deal — if it fits your situation. The catches: you have to move the appliance to the curb yourself (their crews won't come inside or into the garage to get it), it's by appointment, not same-day, and there's a disposal fee for anything containing CFCs or Freon — which includes refrigerators, freezers, and AC units. (Programs change, so confirm current details with the city at anaheim.net/republicservices.)
The $50 fridge rebate
If you're an Anaheim Public Utilities residential electric customer and your old refrigerator or freezer still works, you can get a $50 recycling rebate from the city for retiring it — you arrange the pickup, then apply. It's once every five years, and the application has to go in within a year of the pickup. Details at anaheim.net/recyclemyfridge. If your spare garage fridge still runs, this is real money worth grabbing.
So when does it make sense to hire a removal pro instead?
When any of these are true:
- You can't get it to the curb — it's upstairs, in a back room, a tight laundry closet, or buried in a packed garage.
- You need it gone today or this week, not whenever the next appointment lands.
- You've already used your three free city pickups this year.
- It needs to be disconnected (gas stove, hardwired unit, water line) and you'd rather not deal with it.
- You're clearing out several items at once and don't want to make multiple trips or burn multiple appointments.
In other words: the city's free pickup is great for a single appliance you can wheel to the curb on the city's timeline. A paid haul is for everything else — the heavy, the upstairs, the urgent, and the all-at-once.
Refrigerators, Freezers & AC Units: Why You Can't Just Dump Them
Anything with refrigerant — fridges, freezers, window and central AC units — is regulated in California. The refrigerant (often called Freon) has to be recovered by someone trained to handle it before the unit can be scrapped, which is why both the city and private haulers treat these differently from a dresser or a couch. Don't try to drain or puncture anything yourself; it's illegal to vent refrigerant, and it's genuinely hazardous. When you get one of these hauled, it's taken to a facility that recovers the refrigerant and recycles the metal properly. It's one more reason a lot of Anaheim homeowners just hand the fridge off rather than deal with it.
