Refrigerator Removal Cost in Orange County

A new fridge often arrives before anyone figures out what to do with the old one. Refrigerators are heavy and bulky, and they contain refrigerant, so they can’t just go in the trash. Here’s what refrigerator removal cost looks like in Orange County.

How Much Does Refrigerator Removal Cost?

At Doctor Junk Removal, refrigerator removal starts at $125. That starting price covers a standard fridge that’s empty and easy to reach. It includes the lifting, loading, hauling and recycling. Before we begin, we confirm your total price on site.

What Affects Refrigerator Removal Cost

A few details can raise the price above the starting point:

• Size: a large side-by-side or French-door fridge weighs more than a small top-freezer model.
• Location: a garage fridge near the driveway is easier than one upstairs in a condo.
• Tight kitchens: sometimes the doors must come off to fit through a doorway.
• Extra appliances: a freezer, washer or dryer can go in the same load.

Why Refrigerators Need Proper Disposal

Refrigerators and freezers use refrigerants that can harm the environment if they leak. For that reason, old units should go to a facility that handles appliance recycling. In addition, the steel, copper and plastic inside can be recovered and reused.

How to Prepare Your Fridge for Removal

First, empty the fridge and freezer completely and throw out any food. Next, unplug it a day early so the freezer can defrost, and wipe up the water. If the fridge has an ice maker or water dispenser, shut off and disconnect the water line. Finally, clear a path to the door. As a result, the pickup goes faster and your refrigerator removal cost stays low.
