Refrigerator and appliance removal in Dennis, Massachusetts

What Dennis charges for a refrigerator

At the Transfer Station, refrigerators, freezers, stoves, washers, dryers and water heaters are $10 each. Microwaves, dehumidifiers and air conditioners are $5 each. The state treats these as white goods: the town's Prohibited Materials page defines them as appliances that preserve or cook food or wash or dry clothing and says a fee applies.

The town pages do not mention refrigerant removal, so ask the gate attendant at 508-760-6230 whether your unit needs paperwork. Hours are Wednesday to Sunday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. A fridge in a pickup bed is also a two-person lift.

Reuse, before the gate

Habitat's Cape ReStore takes appliances 10 years old or under, in good working order. Staff inspect each one and can refuse it. An older unit will not pass.

Propane stays out of the fridge pile. Tanks of 20 pounds or less are free at the station, and larger tanks are $20 each. A grill with a tank takes two stops if you are mixing them.

Closing a cottage with a fridge in it

End-of-season cleanouts leave the refrigerator for last. Unplug it, empty it, prop the door open and let it dry for a day, or the smell is the first thing the next owner meets.

JUNKRUN removes a large appliance such as a refrigerator for $149, a standard washer, dryer or stove for $119, and a small one such as a mini fridge or window air conditioner for $79. Freon recovery is in those prices. We move it out through the door, down the steps, no travel fee anywhere in Dennis, no stair fee. For a mixed cleanout, use a quarter trailer $209, a half $319, three-quarters $409 and a full trailer $519.

Getting a refrigerator out of a Dennis house

  1. Empty and unplug

    Clear the shelves and drawers. Unplug it a day ahead so it can defrost and dry.

  2. Tape the doors

    Tape or strap the doors shut for the move, then measure the narrowest cottage doorway on the path.

  3. Choose the route

    Gate: $10 at 100 Theophilus F. Smith Road, Wed-Sun. Hauler: one flat price from the kitchen.

  4. Keep the paperwork

    If you hire out, ask the hauler to confirm the refrigerant is recovered.
