That old fridge has been sitting in your garage in Millwoods since you renovated the kitchen two years ago. You keep saying you’ll take it to the dump but somehow it’s still there, not plugged in, just taking up space where your car should be. We get calls about this exact situation every single day for appliance removal Edmonton services.
Last Tuesday we pulled three fridges, two stoves, and a dishwasher out of a house in Terwillegar. Landlord had been collecting broken appliances from his rental properties for like five years, storing them all in one house he was planning to flip. Finally decided enough was enough and called us. We cleared everything in three hours and he could actually start his renovation.
Appliances are heavy, awkward, and your city garbage won’t take them. That’s why they end up sitting in garages and basements forever. We make them disappear.
Fridges weigh 200-300 pounds depending on size. Side-by-side fridges with ice makers and water dispensers? Those can hit 400 pounds. And they’re not just heavy – they’re huge and bulky and don’t fit through doorways easily. You need at least two people, probably three for the big ones.
Stoves aren’t quite as heavy but they’re still 150-250 pounds. Gas stoves have the line that needs disconnecting. Electric stoves have the 220 plug. Plus they’re wide and catch on doorframes. We’ve wrestled stoves out of kitchens in Bonnie Doon, Riverbend, Summerside – every old house in Edmonton has narrow doorways that make appliance removal a pain.
Washers and dryers are the worst for basements. Who decided it was a good idea to put laundry rooms in basements? Now you got a 200-pound washing machine that needs to go up narrow stairs. Front-load washers are heavier than top-load. Those big capacity ones are even worse.
One customer in Windermere tried moving his old fridge himself. Got it halfway through the kitchen doorway and it got stuck. Scratched up the doorframe trying to force it, still couldn’t get it out. Called us frustrated and embarrassed. We got it out in ten minutes – sometimes you just need the right technique and experience.
Appliance disposal Edmonton covers everything. Fridges, freezers, stoves, ranges, ovens, dishwashers, microwaves, washing machines, dryers, garbage disposals, range hoods – if it’s a kitchen or laundry appliance, we take it.
Fridges and freezers are probably 60% of our appliance calls. Everyone upgrades their fridge eventually, and the old one has to go somewhere. Chest freezers in garages, upright freezers in basements, mini fridges in rec rooms, bar fridges, wine fridges – we’ve hauled them all out of Edmonton homes.
Stoves and ranges come next. You renovated the kitchen, got fancy new gas range, old electric stove is sitting in the garage. Or you bought a house in Ellerslie and the previous owners left their old stove in the basement for some reason. We see that alot actually – people leave appliances behind when they move.
Washers and dryers usually go together. One breaks, you replace the set, now you got two old machines taking up space. Sometimes just the washer dies and you keep the dryer, but most people match them. We’ve done Edmonton appliance removal in Sherwood Park and St. Albert where people had three or four old washer/dryer sets accumulated over years.
Dishwashers are tricky because they’re built into cabinets. We can remove them but you gotta disconnect water and power first. Most people have that done already before we arrive, or they do it themselves. We’re junk removal guys, not plumbers or electricians.
Garages are number one by far. You get new appliances delivered, old ones go straight to the garage “temporarily” until you figure out what to do with them. Six months later they’re still there. This happens in every Edmonton neighborhood – Clareview, Manning, Heritage Valley, Keswick, everywhere.
Basements are next. Spare fridge in the basement that doesn’t work anymore. Old washer and dryer sitting in the laundry room after you upgraded. Sometimes people put appliances in storage rooms or furnace rooms and forget about them for years.
We’ve picked up appliances from weird spots. Backyards with tarps over them – been there so long the tarp is falling apart. Side of houses, in sheds, even saw a fridge in someone’s boat once in Sherwood Park. People just want them out of sight.
Rental properties get appliances abandoned all the time. Tenant moves out, leaves their old mini fridge. Or the landlord replaced appliances and just shoved the old ones in the basement. Property managers call us constantly for this stuff.
Most appliances have metal, copper, sometimes aluminum – all recyclable materials. We take everything to proper recycling facilities when possible. It’s better for the environment and honestly it just makes sense.
Fridges and freezers need special handling because of the refrigerant inside. You can’t just throw them in a landfill – the chemicals are bad for the environment. We work with facilities that properly remove the refrigerant before recycling the metal and plastic.
Stoves, washers, dryers – those get recycled for scrap metal usually. The steel alone is worth something, plus copper wiring inside. It’s not alot of money but enough that recycling makes more sense than landfilling.

Some appliances are too old or too damaged for recycling. Rusted out, broken apart, been sitting outside for years – those end up at the dump. We try to recycle what we can but sometimes garbage is just garbage.
For appliance haul away Edmonton services, we handle all the sorting and disposal decisions. You don’t need to figure out where stuff goes – that’s our job.
Just bought a new fridge at Home Depot, delivery is today, and they won’t take your old one unless you paid extra for removal – which you didn’t. Now you got a problem. We offer same-day appliance removal Edmonton for exactly these situations.
Call or text us before noon and we can usually get to you same afternoon. Extra charge for same-day service but when you need it gone NOW, it’s worth the money. Better than having two fridges in your kitchen or your new fridge sitting in the garage because there’s no room.
Renovation emergencies come up. Contractor needs the old stove out today so he can install cabinets tomorrow. Plumber can’t install the new dishwasher until the old one is gone. We’ll prioritize your job and get it handled quick.
Moving day situations too. You’re moving out of your place in Laurier Heights tomorrow, you can’t take the old appliances, and the landlord is mad they’re still there. One call to us and problem solved.
This is our specialty honestly. Basement stairs in Edmonton homes are usually narrow, with low ceilings and tight turns. Getting a washing machine or fridge up those stairs takes skill and the right equipment.
We use appliance dollies and furniture straps. Two-person team minimum for basement appliances, sometimes three people for really heavy stuff. We’ve done this thousands of times – we know how to angle things, when to tilt, how to protect walls and railings.
Old houses in Bonnie Doon, Garneau, Strathcona – those basements are the worst. Steep stairs, low headroom, sharp turns. But we get appliances out of them all the time. Sometimes we gotta remove a railing temporarily to get enough width, but we put it back.
New houses in Summerside and Windermere usually have better stairs, but the appliances are bigger. People buy those massive French-door fridges and huge capacity washers. More room to maneuver but more weight to carry.
One basement in Ellerslie had a fridge that must have been down there 30 years. No idea how it originally got down there. We had to tilt it almost sideways to get it around the corner at the bottom of the stairs. Took us 45 minutes but we got it out without damaging anything.
Restaurants, hotels, apartment buildings, office break rooms – commercial appliances are bigger and heavier than residential ones. A commercial fridge can weigh 600+ pounds. Commercial ovens and ranges are massive.
We do commercial appliance removal Edmonton for businesses all over. When a restaurant in West Edmonton closes down, someone’s gotta remove all that kitchen equipment. Walk-in coolers, industrial ovens, commercial dishwashers, prep tables – we’ve cleared entire commercial kitchens.
Apartment buildings call us when they’re replacing appliances in units. One building in Oliver was upgrading all the fridges and stoves in 50 units. We spent a week there, removing old appliances and hauling them away as new ones got installed.
Hotels replacing mini fridges, offices getting rid of old break room appliances, care facilities updating laundry equipment – commercial jobs are steady work for us. We got the trucks and manpower to handle volume.
Commercial jobs usually get scheduled in advance. We bring bigger trucks and extra crew. Most businesses can’t have us working during operating hours, so alot of commercial appliance removal happens early mornings, late evenings, or weekends.
Single appliance removal runs $75-150 depending on what it is and where you’re located. Small stuff like microwaves or dishwashers on the cheaper end. Big fridges or commercial appliances cost more because they’re heavier and take more truck space.
Multiple appliances cost less per piece. Fridge, stove, and dishwasher together might be $250 instead of $400 if we charged full price each. We’re already there, loading three things doesn’t cost us three times as much.
Edmonton appliance disposal pricing includes everything – labor, truck, disposal or recycling fees, all of it. No surprise charges. No extra fees for stairs or tight spaces. The quote we give is what you pay.
Way cheaper than renting a truck yourself. Plus you don’t risk hurting your back, damaging your house, or dropping a fridge on your foot. We’re insured, experienced, and we do this every day.
Some companies charge by weight or by the hour. We charge by the item because it’s simpler and more fair. You know exactly what you’re paying before we start.
Don’t see your item on the list? We still most likely take it! CONTACT US today for more information. We’re here to help!
