Old fridge out.$149 flat.
We take the refrigerator, freezer or other big appliance, recover the refrigerant and carry it out from any floor.
NO SURPRISES.
Old refrigerator removal costs $149 flat with JUNKRUN, and freon recovery is included. A washer, dryer, stove or dishwasher is $119 and a microwave or mini fridge is $79. Two people carry it out from any floor. Massachusetts bans white goods (large appliances) from ordinary disposal, so a fridge has to be recycled properly. Empty it and unplug it a day ahead if you can.

The problem, and the fix.
It is in the basement or a garage and it is huge
Two people, a hand truck and the stairs are our normal. Tell us where it is and how many stairs.
You are not sure how to get rid of the freon
Refrigerants must be recovered, not vented. We handle that, and the price includes it.
The store will only take it with a new delivery, for a fee
A new appliance delivery may or may not include haul-away. If not, we take the old one.
It still has food in it, or it has been off for months
Empty it and prop the door open, or tell us and we will plan for it. A smelly one is not a problem, but tell us.
Flat totals, no clock running.

Why a refrigerator cannot go out with the trash
- MassDEP's list of materials banned from disposal includes white goods (large appliances), so a fridge has to be recycled rather than thrown away.
- The EPA says the final disposer of appliances is responsible for recovering any refrigerant contained in appliances, and that older refrigerators, freezers, window air-conditioning units, and dehumidifiers contained chlorofluorocarbons.
- The EPA also warns that appliances left curbside might be landfilled or otherwise disposed of in an unsafe manner.
