Appliance pickup and removal in Salina, Kansas
Fridges, freezers, washers, dryers and AC units — hauled out without you touching the weight.
Why appliances are their own job
An appliance is heavy in a way that is hard to plan for. A chest freezer is dense, has no good grip, and is usually in a spot that makes it worse — a basement, a back utility room, or behind a door that will not open all the way.
They are also awkward rather than merely heavy. A fridge has to be moved upright where possible, doors come off, and water lines need disconnecting first.
What to do before we arrive
Empty it and let it defrost. A freezer full of food weighs considerably more, and a defrosting unit leaks on the way out.
Unplug it the day before if you can. For a washer, disconnect the hoses; for a fridge with an icemaker, turn off the water supply. If you would rather not touch the plumbing, say so in the estimate and we will work around it.
[[PLACEHOLDER: confirm whether the business disconnects water and gas lines, or requires the owner to have them disconnected first]]
Where appliances end up
Appliances carry metals worth recovering, which is why the useful ones are kept whole — a working fridge is worth more to somebody than the steel in it.
Refrigerant in a sealed cooling system is a controlled material, so units go to a facility equipped to handle them rather than being stripped on the truck. [[PLACEHOLDER: confirm which local facility is used and whether items are donated, resold or recycled — the owner should be able to name it]]

Common questions
- How much does appliance pickup cost in Salina?
- Pricing depends on volume and access, so we quote per job rather than publishing a flat rate. You get the price before any work starts, and you can decline it at that point.
- Do I need to move anything to the curb?
- No. Point at what goes and we carry it out, including up or down stairs. Clearing a path and telling us about tight turns helps, but nothing needs to be moved by you.
- Do you serve areas outside Salina?
- Yes — Saline County, including Brookville, Assaria, Gypsum, New Cambria, Smolan. See the service area page for details.
