Appliance Removal in Metro Detroit: what to expect
Appliance removal covers hauling away old refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, stoves, dishwashers, water heaters and dehumidifiers. Many Metro Detroit homes have them in basements with narrow stairs, so the crew, the dolly and the route out matter as much as the truck.
Refrigerators, freezers, window air conditioners and dehumidifiers contain refrigerant. EPA Section 608 rules require that refrigerant be recovered before final disposal, and the final recycler or landfill must keep a signed record of who recovered it. A reputable hauler takes these units to a scrap recycler that handles recovery instead of dumping them. EPA also suggests checking whether your electric utility runs an appliance turn-in program before you pay for removal.
Gas stoves, dryers and water heaters should be disconnected and capped by a qualified pro first. If you are replacing a water heater, the installer often removes the old one: see water heater installation.
What a proper job includes
- A walkthrough or photo review to confirm size, weight and access
- Disconnection help or a clear note of what you must disconnect first
- Floor and doorway protection on the way out
- Removal from basements, garages and upper floors
- Delivery to a scrap recycler that recovers refrigerant
- Separate recycling of metal, not landfill dumping
- Sweep-up of the area where the appliance stood
What drives the price
- Number and type of appliances
- Stairs, tight turns and carrying distance
- Refrigerant units that need recovery handling
- Gas or water disconnection if not already done
- Same-day or after-hours scheduling
- Whether other junk is added to the same trip

Insurance, disposal and safety rules
Ask for a current certificate of general liability insurance before anyone starts, and ask whether the crew are employees covered by workers' compensation or subcontractors. For in-home work, ask whether the company is bonded and how it screens staff. Check verification status as described in How We Vet.
Refrigerators, freezers, window AC units and dehumidifiers must have their refrigerant recovered before final disposal under EPA Section 608 rules. Gas appliance disconnection should be done by a qualified gas technician or plumber, not a hauler.
