Refrigerator and appliance removal in Harwich, MA

Appliance lines on the station fee schedule

Two lines cover appliances. Refrigerators and air conditioners are $15 each, in the same tier as TVs and truck tires. Stoves, washers, dryers, water heaters and microwaves are $10 each. Other large metal items are charged by weight; metal is $60 a ton, and the recycle area lists large metal items with a fee.

The pages do not say how refrigerant is handled, whether doors must come off, or whether a freezer counts as a refrigerator. Call the station at 508-430-7558. A sticker or the per-trip fee applies on top; both are on the town's sticker page.

Where a working appliance can go instead

Large appliances: stoves, refrigerators, washers and dryers are on the Treasure Chest's refused list. The Habitat ReStore in South Yarmouth is stricter than a swap: appliances must be 10 years or under and in good working order, and staff can still decline them at the door.

An old refrigerator with a failing compressor, a rusted washer from a seasonal cottage or a water heater pulled during a renovation has one route that is not a charity: the station's metal and appliance fees, or a hauler.

Getting a refrigerator out of a cottage

Cape cottages often have narrow doors, a steep basement stair or a porch step with no rail. A fridge on a hand truck is a two-person job, and the station is a drive from most villages.

JUNKRUN prices by size: small appliance (microwave, mini fridge, window AC) $79, standard (washer, dryer, stove, dishwasher) $119, large (refrigerator, chest freezer) $149, with freon recovery included. No travel fee. Send a photo of the make, the door swing and the path out. Unplug the refrigerator and empty it a day ahead so it is not dripping on the floor when it moves.
