Appliance Removal Louisville
Appliance removal is a category with real regulatory requirements attached, not just a hauling job, and that shapes how we approach every unit that comes off a Louisville property.
- Refrigerant recovered from qualifying units per EPA Section 608 (Clean Air Act) before recycling
- Hardwired units disconnected at the breaker or shutoff before removal
- Steel and aluminum shells routed to metal recycling after refrigerant recovery
- All major appliance types handled: refrigerators, washers, dryers, stoves, dishwashers, water heaters
If you're replacing multiple appliances during a kitchen or laundry room remodel, we can remove all of them in a single visit rather than scheduling separate pickups, which is usually more efficient for everyone's timeline.
We'll just wheel it out and load it up.
We check whether a unit holds refrigerant first, since R-22, R-134a, or R-410A require certified recovery before that appliance goes anywhere near a metal recycler.

Appliance Removal: What Actually Matters
Appliance removal is the one category on this site where federal regulation, not just physical difficulty, drives how the job gets done.
- EPA Section 608 compliance: Any unit that holds refrigerant gets that refrigerant recovered with certified equipment before recycling, in line with the Clean Air Act, across every appliance type we handle.
- Weight-aware handling: Older appliances often weigh more than their box or rating suggests once sediment, residue, or years of use are factored in, so we plan the dolly path and truck ramp accordingly.
- Metal recycling after service: Once any required disconnection or recovery step is complete, the steel and aluminum shell of an appliance is a straightforward candidate for metal recycling rather than landfill space.
- Tight-kitchen maneuvering: Galley kitchens in older Louisville shotgun houses and apartments often leave only a few inches of clearance around a built-in appliance, so removal sometimes means pulling cabinetry trim rather than forcing it.
- Delivery-day coordination: We time removal of the old unit around your new appliance's delivery window, so you're never stuck with both taking up space in the same kitchen or laundry room.
What This Typically Involves
Appliance removal pricing is fairly consistent per unit, with refrigerators and freezers running slightly higher due to the refrigerant recovery step, and simpler units like stoves and dishwashers priced a bit lower.
