Fridges, freezers, washers, dryers and ranges carried out of the kitchen, the basement or the second-floor laundry room.
Appliance removal is mostly a carrying problem. Refrigerators, chest freezers and laundry pairs are heavy, awkward boxes that tend to live at the bottom of stairs or wedged between cabinets. Our two-person crew brings moving equipment, gets the thing out from wherever it sits, and loads it on the truck. You get the price before we start. The one thing we ask: anything that runs on gas needs the line shut off and capped by a plumber or the gas company before we arrive.
Text a photo and say where the appliance sits: basement, second-floor closet, garage. The staircase matters more than the brand.
Empty the fridge or freezer, unplug it, shut off the washer’s water valves, and have any gas line capped by a pro.
William confirms the price, then we walk it out on our moving equipment.
A working unit goes to a donation drop-off when one will take it. The rest goes for responsible disposal.
Fridges, freezers, window air conditioners and dehumidifiers all hold refrigerant. Under Section 608 of the federal Clean Air Act, nobody may intentionally vent it while disposing of that equipment.[1]
For a household fridge that enters the waste stream with its charge intact, EPA puts the duty on the last stop in the chain, such as the scrap recycler or landfill, to make sure the refrigerant is recovered before final disposal. If that facility takes a unit that was already emptied, it has to keep a signed statement naming who recovered the refrigerant and when. A sticker doesn’t count as proof.[2]
Locally, the York County Resource Recovery Center has the Freon removed before refrigerant appliances are recycled, and LCSWMA says it safely recovers those gases and recycles the metal at its facilities.[3][4][5]
What that means for you: don’t cut any lines or try to drain anything yourself. Just clear out the food. YCSWA requires that before a refrigerator or freezer can be dropped off.[6]
Laundry pairs tend to live in the worst spots in the house: bottom of a steep basement stair, or a second-floor closet with a door barely wider than the dryer. Washer and dryer removal is a stairs job more often than not, and it’s why we want to see the route in your photos.
Before we come, turn off the water valves, unhook the hoses and let the washer drain into the standpipe or a bucket. Unplug both. A gas dryer needs its line shut off and capped by a plumber or the gas company first.
York County residents can bring large appliances and refrigerant units to the Small Load Drop-Off at the Resource Recovery Center. Stop at the scale house first. As posted this fall, it’s open weekdays 8 to 4 and Saturdays 8 to noon, and fees apply to waste loads.[3][6][7]
Some trash haulers will take large and refrigerant appliances on a large-item pickup if you call ahead, so it’s worth asking yours.[6]
In Dauphin County, residents can recycle stoves, dishwashers and microwaves at no charge at the county recycling center on South Cameron Street in Harrisburg. Units with refrigerant are taken there for a fee.[8][9]

If it’s not bolted down and it’s not toxic, we’ll haul it. You point, we lift, load and sweep up.
Tube TVs, flat screens, monitors, towers and printers carried out of the basement, the den or the home office, and kept out of the trash.
Everything carried up the stairs and out: damp boxes, dead freezers, old furniture and all.
Get the car back in the garage. We haul out the tools, boxes and dead mowers and sweep the floor.
