Appliance Removal Philadelphia

Appliance Removal in Philadelphia

In a rowhome, the washer, the dryer and the water heater usually live in the basement — at the bottom of one steep, narrow flight of stairs. Getting a dead one up and out is the hard part, and it’s the part we do. A washer is $133, a dryer $128, a tank water heater $131, a refrigerator $164.

“Had a plan AND morning confirmation with [another junk remover] and they canceled last minute, an hour before. I was in a bind, and I called & texted the folks at JunkRabbit. They were fast, courteous and available on short notice.”

Refrigerant, Handled Properly

Refrigerators, freezers, dehumidifiers and air conditioners hold refrigerant that federal rules require a certified technician to recover before scrapping.

  • Refrigerant recovered and documented
  • Steel and copper recycled
  • Nothing dumped whole
  • No doors to take off first

Photograph the appliance where it sits — even at the bottom of the cellar stairs.

Before the Crew Arrives

Unplug it and empty it. Shut the water off to a washer or an ice maker, and drain a water heater if you can. Gas ranges, gas dryers and hard-wired units should be disconnected by a licensed technician before pickup day — our crews carry appliances out, they don’t cap gas lines.

How to Get Rid of an Appliance in Philadelphia

Appliances follow different rules from other bulky items here, because trash-day curbside is limited to non-metal items.

City Bulk Appointment

Refrigerators, air conditioners, water heaters and other major appliances are accepted by appointment — fridges empty with the doors removed — at up to four items per visit, for buildings of six units or fewer.

Convenience Centers

Residents can drop off up to two appliances a day at the city’s six centers, if they can load and drive them there.

Retailer Haul-Away

Stores sometimes take the old unit when delivering a new one, usually for a fee and only for the same kind of appliance.

JunkRabbit

Any appliance, any floor, with the doors still on and the carry included.

Can you carry a washer up from the basement?

Yes. Basement laundry is standard in Philadelphia rowhomes, and the stairs are included in the flat price.

Do I have to take the refrigerator doors off?

Not for us. Removing the doors is the city’s requirement for its bulk appointments.

Do you take window air conditioners?

Yes. A large window unit is $109 and a small one $87, with refrigerant recovered.

Is there sales tax on appliance removal?

None on Pennsylvania or Delaware jobs. In New Jersey the 6.625% state sales tax applies to the service.
