A kitchen remodel in Los Altos often ends with a gleaming new refrigerator and an old one that has nowhere to go. The same goes for a washer that finally quit in a laundry closet, a second fridge humming in a garage, or a range pulled out during a floor redo.
Appliances are heavy, awkward and sometimes loaded with refrigerant, which is why many homeowners would rather not wrestle them out alone. We disconnect nothing ourselves, but once an appliance is unplugged and emptied we carry it through the house, load it, and take it to be recycled or donated where we can.
Appliances we carry out
- Refrigerators and freezers
Side-by-sides, top-freezer units, chest freezers and the old fridge in the garage.
- Washers and dryers
Front-loaders and top-loaders, including stacked units in a hall closet.
- Kitchen appliances
Ranges, cooktops, dishwashers, microwaves and wall ovens after a remodel.
- Water heaters and more
Tank water heaters, window air conditioners and dehumidifiers.
Refrigerator removal in Los Altos, kitchen or garage
Refrigerator removal in Los Altos tends to come from two places: a remodeled kitchen where a French-door model has to leave before the new one comes in, and a garage where a second fridge or chest freezer has been running for years. Unplug it and empty it first, and leave the doors propped so nothing swings open on the way out.
Send a photo of the unit, the doorway and the path to the driveway. Our crew measures the route, straps the fridge to a hand truck, pads the floor and walks it out through the garage or side door. Metal goes to recycling where possible, and a working refrigerator can be offered for donation. Refrigerators and freezers carry extra charges under the city program, which is why many homeowners hand them to us.
Washer dryer removal in Los Altos
A washer and dryer set in a Los Altos home often sits in a laundry closet off the garage or a hallway, behind a narrow door, sometimes upstairs. Washer dryer removal starts with you or a plumber shutting off and disconnecting the water, drain and gas or electric connections. We do not do plumbing or gas work; we carry the set out, including stacked units, down the stairs and onto the trailer, protecting floors and door frames as we go. Metal is recycled where possible, and a working set can go to donation.
Recycling, donation and the city option
Metal appliances usually head to scrap and recycling, and ones that still work can be offered for donation. We sort each load that way when we can.
The city’s on-call cleanup through Mission Trail Waste Systems lets single-family homes bring up to three large items twice a year, as we read the city’s guide, but appliances with Freon carry extra charges. That is the gap we fill: refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners, carried out by a crew.
How an appliance pickup goes

We take care with floors and frames, and the crew will ask about the best route before lifting.
Can you take several appliances at once?
