APPLIANCE REMOVAL

Appliance removal, without the heavy lifting.

Make room for what’s next. Find refrigerator, freezer, washer and dryer pickup through PNW. Portland–Vancouver service is handled by JunkPDX, with a free, no-obligation onsite estimate before loading.

On this page 6 topics

One appliance or several together

List refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, ranges and other units you want removed. Include each appliance’s size, location and whether it is built in or stacked. The crew reviews the complete pickup for capacity and handling.

Arrange utility preparation

Gas, water and hard-wired electrical connections may need a qualified professional. Arrange safe disconnection before pickup and tell the crew what remains connected. Hauling does not automatically include plumbing, electrical work, installation or removal of built-in fixtures.

Washer and dryer preparation

Refrigerators and freezers

Plan for an empty, safely disconnected unit with a clear route out. Cooling equipment needs appropriate refrigerant handling and may carry additional recycling or disposal charges. Describe the appliance when requesting your estimate.

Refrigerator and freezer pickup details

Let the crew plan the route

Share stairs, elevators, tight doorways, parking limits and long carries. Confirm collection from the appliance’s current location rather than moving it outside yourself. Keep access clear and coordinate replacement delivery separately from the pickup window.

Know what your estimate includes

Size, weight, truck space, labor, access, refrigerant handling and disposal affect the hauling estimate. Separately arranged utility preparation is a separate scope and cost. The crew confirms the removal price onsite, and loading starts after you approve.

Understand project pricing

Check your local pickup options

Covered Portland–Vancouver addresses can book a free onsite estimate through JunkPDX. Standard appliance pickups can be hauled on the same visit after price approval. Seattle and Boise customer booking is not open.

PLAN YOUR PROJECT

Plan around the appliance, not just its size.

A freestanding washer and a built-in refrigerator may look like similar pickups, but connections, cabinetry and access can change what must happen before hauling. Tell us what is ready and what still needs preparation.

Freestanding appliance pickup

List the appliance type, dimensions and location. Explain whether it is ready to move and include pedestals, loose shelves or other parts that should leave with it.

Best starting point: a photo of the whole appliance and the route from its current room.

Several appliances together

Name each unit rather than requesting removal of an appliance set. A refrigerator, freezer and laundry pair may be in different parts of the property.

Best starting point: one inventory with each appliance’s floor, location and connection status.

Built-in or stacked equipment

Describe cabinetry, mounting and stacked units before arranging the visit. Preparation or separate trade work may be needed before ordinary hauling can begin.

Best starting point: photos of the installation and confirmation of who will handle required disconnection.

What changes the estimate?

Preparation
Utility disconnection, installation and cabinetry changes should not be assumed part of the hauling visit.
Access
Stairs, narrow appliance closets, platforms and long carries affect how the equipment can be removed.
Material handling
Identify cooling equipment and ask which applicable handling charges are included in the final estimate.

SERVICE QUESTIONS

Common questions

Can I have a washer and dryer removed together?

Yes, subject to capacity and safe preparation. List both units, explain whether they are stacked and describe their connections and location.

Can the crew disconnect a gas appliance?

Do not assume so. Arrange safe disconnection by a qualified professional when required before pickup. Tell the provider about any connection or built-in installation that still needs attention.

Why can refrigerator removal cost more?

Cooling equipment needs appropriate refrigerant handling or recycling. The crew includes applicable handling and disposal charges in the estimate for your approval.

Do I need to put the appliance outside?

Not necessarily. Share the appliance’s location and access details, then confirm collection from that location in the estimate. Avoid moving a heavy appliance yourself just to prepare.

Can furniture go in the same pickup?

Often. Include every appliance and furniture item in the request so the crew can review the full load, access and price together.
