Refrigerator and appliance removal in Marblehead, MA

The town's two routes

Refrigerators, freezers or air conditioners can be disposed of at the Transfer Station for a fee. The posted notice lists refrigerator, freezer or A/C at $35 and other appliances without Freon at $25. It adds that refrigerators and freezers must have the doors removed before drop-off. Entry takes a facility sticker, $100 for 2026.

The second route is private: the town page names Turner Trucking and Salvage on Commercial Street in Lynn, phone (781) 595-3741. Call first to ask what they accept and what they charge.

Getting the doors off, and the weight

Taking doors off a refrigerator is a job for a screwdriver, a socket set and two people. Empty it first, unplug it a day ahead, and tape or tie the shelves. A full-size fridge is heavy, and old Marblehead cellars often have a turn of stairs or a bulkhead. The Transfer Station is self-service; nobody carries it out for you.

A washer or dryer has the same stair problem, with a hose and a vent to unhook. A/C units fall in the $35 line on the posted notice, even a window unit.

Pickup, with the Freon handled

Our appliance prices: a small appliance (microwave, mini fridge, window AC, dehumidifier) is $79; a standard one (washer, dryer, stove, dishwasher) $119; a large one (refrigerator, chest freezer, double oven) $149. Freon recovery is included, and there is no need to remove the doors.

We carry from the basement or kitchen, and you do not need a facility sticker or a truck. For several appliances at once, a ¼ trailer is $209. Tell us if the fridge has to come down a flight of stairs.
