Appliance removal
in Columbia, MO.

Appliance removal is the haul-away of large household machines (usually old or broken) that are too heavy for one or two people to move safely. In Columbia, we take refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, ovens, dishwashers, microwaves, water heaters, and more. Often same-day pickup. The price you hear on the phone is the price you pay.

What we take

Just about every large household appliance we have seen, working or broken. If it plugs in, vents, or holds water, we can probably take it. Most of our appliance jobs are quoted in under five minutes on the phone.

  • Refrigerators and freezers (including chest freezers)
  • Washing machines and dryers (gas or electric)
  • Stoves, ovens, and ranges
  • Dishwashers and under-counter units
  • Microwaves (countertop and built-in)
  • Garbage disposals
  • Water heaters (gas, electric, tankless)
  • Air conditioning units and window units
  • Trash compactors

What we cannot take

Appliances with active refrigerant leaks. If a fridge or AC unit was damaged in a way that vented coolant into the air, let us know on the call so we can advise on proper handling. Everything else is fair game.

How it works

Three steps. Most pickups take ten minutes on the property.

  1. 01

    Call or text a photo

    We give a flat estimate from the photo or description. No on-site visit needed unless you want one.

  2. 02

    Crew arrives on schedule

    15 to 30 minute heads-up call before arrival. Please have all appliances disconnected and ready to move before we arrive.

  3. 03

    Lift and haul

    Working appliances are offered to local donation partners before they head to scrap or the landfill. We sweep before we leave.

Why us for this specifically

  • We have the equipment and experience to handle heavy items, including stair carries and tight spaces. Many haulers refuse fridges and ranges that are upstairs or in tight basements. We do not.
  • Working appliances get donated first. They are offered to Love Columbia and our other community partners before scrap or landfill. Non-working units go directly to recyclers.
Local note · Refrigerant disposal

Columbia and the Mid Missouri area have specific refrigerant disposal rules. Fridges, freezers, and AC units contain coolants that have to be evacuated before scrapping. We handle that compliance side on every job so you do not have to.

Frequently asked

Do you take appliances that still work?

Yes. We try to donate them through our partner network (Love Columbia and our other community partners) before recycling or disposing. If the unit is working when we pick it up, there is a good chance it gets a second life with someone who needs it.

Do I need to disconnect the appliance before you arrive?

Yes. For your protection and ours, appliances must be disconnected before our crew arrives. We are not able to disconnect water lines, gas lines, or hardwired electrical connections. If your appliance requires any of these disconnections, please arrange that before we arrive — a plumber or electrician can handle it quickly. Once disconnected and ready to move, we take it from there.

What does appliance removal cost in Columbia?

Pricing starts at $75. A single appliance is one of our most affordable jobs. Your final quote depends on the volume, the difficulty of the removal, your distance from our service area, and any special conditions on site. Call (573) 352-5865 for a flat quote in under five minutes.

Can you remove an appliance from a basement or second floor?

Yes. Stair carries are included in the price. There is no stair fee. We have moved fridges out of finished basements that had to be tipped sideways and walked up by hand. If the access is exceptionally tight, mention it on the quote call.
