"The price changed after the truck showed up. I'd taken the whole day off."
— What we hear from almost every new customerWe Built Our Business Around That Complaint
Bait-and-switch pricing and no-show crews are the two things people hate most about junk removal. So those are the two things we refuse to do. You get a price on the phone. We show up when we said. That number doesn't change at the door.
Real Reviews from the Fox Valley
How It Works
Price on the Phone
You tell us what you've got. We give you a range before anyone drives anywhere.
We Confirm on Arrival
We confirm the quote when we see the load. If it matches what you described, we start. The number on the invoice is the number we told you.
We Haul It All
Everything quoted goes in the truck. When we leave, the space is clear and the job is closed.
Appliance Removal in Aurora, IL
Most people call us about appliances for one of two reasons: a new appliance is being delivered and the old one has to be gone first, or the old one stopped working and has been sitting in the garage for six months. Either way, appliances are among the heaviest and most awkward things in a home to move, and they almost never go quietly.
What We Remove
- Refrigerators and freezers, including side-by-side, French door, and built-in models
- Washers and dryers, stacked or side-by-side
- Dishwashers, including built-in models
- Stoves, ranges, and wall ovens
- Over-the-range and countertop microwaves
- Wine coolers, mini-fridges, and beverage centers
- Window and portable air conditioners
- Dehumidifiers and water heaters
What Stairs Actually Do to the Price
Stairs affect appliance jobs more than almost anything else we haul. A 300-pound refrigerator on a main floor with a clear path to the driveway is a straightforward job. That same refrigerator in a finished basement with a 32-inch door at the top of the stairs is a different job. Narrow stairwells, low ceilings, and sharp turns at the landing all add time and labor. When you call, describe the access situation specifically so we can give you an accurate range instead of a number that changes when we show up.
Appliances Connected to Water or Gas
We disconnect water supply lines on washers and dishwashers if they are still connected. We do not handle gas line disconnection. If your stove or dryer runs on gas, a licensed plumber needs to disconnect and cap the line before we arrive. This is a standard job for a plumber and takes about 20 minutes. Do not attempt to disconnect a gas line yourself.
How Appliance Disposal Works
Refrigerators, freezers, window AC units, and dehumidifiers contain refrigerants that must be recovered by a certified technician under EPA Section 608 before the unit can be scrapped. We work with licensed recyclers who handle that step correctly. This is not optional, and it is not something you should accept from a hauler who does not mention it. Appliances in working condition are offered to Goodwill and local donation programs before they go to a recycler. A working refrigerator that just got replaced has a better outcome than a scrap pile.
If a Delivery Is Happening Today
Delivery windows close fast. If a new appliance is arriving and the old one is still there, call us as early in the day as possible. Same-day pickup is often available, but we cannot guarantee it if you call at noon for a 2 PM window. Earlier is better.
What Affects the Price
Volume, weight, and access are the three factors. A single fridge on the ground floor is the baseline. A set of four appliances on the second floor with a staircase is a bigger job. Built-in appliances require extra extraction time. We give you a range on the phone and confirm the exact number when we see the job. That number does not change after we confirm it.
We serve Aurora, Naperville, Batavia, Geneva, St. Charles, and the Fox Valley seven days a week.

About Appliance Removal
Do I need to disconnect appliances before you arrive?
For washing machines, turn off the water supply valves u2014 we can disconnect the hoses on site. Dryers and refrigerators just need to be unplugged. Gas appliances need the gas line shut off by a licensed plumber before we arrive. We handle the physical hauling; gas line disconnection is a licensed trade and we do not touch it.
What happens to old appliances u2014 do they go to a landfill?
No. Refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, and dehumidifiers contain refrigerants that require EPA-certified recovery before disposal. We use licensed recyclers who handle that correctly. Appliances in working condition are donated when possible. Metals are sorted and recycled. The landfill is the last option, not the first.
Can you remove a built-in appliance like a wall oven or over-the-range microwave?
Yes, but built-in units take more work to extract than freestanding appliances and are quoted accordingly. Let us know what you have when you call. We want to know what we are dealing with before we show up so we can bring the right tools and quote accurately.
Can you take appliances that are broken or no longer work?
Yes. Condition does not matter u2014 broken, rusted, leaking, or just old. We haul it regardless. The only category that requires extra handling is appliances with refrigerant systems (fridges, AC units), which we route to certified recyclers who recover the refrigerant before processing.
