Appliance Removal in Durham: What You Need to Know

Appliance Removal in Durham Region

Old appliances are heavy, awkward, and often contain materials that can't go in the regular trash. Here's what you need to know about getting rid of appliances in Durham Region.

Which Appliances We Remove

We pick up all major appliances across Durham Region, including:

  • Refrigerators and freezers (including Freon-containing units)
  • Washers and dryers
  • Dishwashers
  • Stoves and ovens
  • Microwaves
  • Air conditioners and dehumidifiers
  • Water heaters

Why You Can't Just Put Them at the Curb

Most appliances cannot go in your regular garbage or even Durham Region bulk waste pickup because:

  • Refrigerators/freezers contain refrigerant (Freon) that must be properly removed by certified technicians before disposal
  • Air conditioners and dehumidifiers contain refrigerants as well
  • Electronics (microwaves, dishwashers) contain components that require certified e-waste recycling

Improper disposal of refrigerants is illegal under Ontario Environmental Protection Act.

What Durham Junk Removal Does

We handle all proper disposal including:

  • Freon extraction by certified technicians for fridges and ACs
  • Metal recycling for steel components
  • E-waste certified recycling where applicable

Your price includes all disposal fees — no surprise charges at the end.

Pricing for Appliance Removal

  • Single appliance (washer, dryer, stove, microwave): $75–$120
  • Fridge or freezer (Freon recovery required): $100–$150
  • Multiple appliances (3+): Volume rate applies
