Professional appliance removal for Palo Alto homes and businesses

When a washer, dryer, dishwasher or water heater finally dies, the hard part is not buying the new one — it is getting 150+ pounds of dead metal out of a laundry closet and down to the street.

We remove appliances from anywhere on a Palo Alto property, including basements, second floors and back yards. Because Eichler homes have atriums and narrow side passages rather than conventional side yards, so removal routes have to be planned before the crew arrives, we plan the route before we start rather than discovering the problem halfway down the stairs.

Appliances are among the most recyclable items we handle. The steel cabinet, copper wiring, aluminium coils and motor components all have recovery value, which is why appliance removal is often one of the cheaper line items on a job.

Appliance Removal across Palo Alto — what we typically see

Appliance Removal is not identical everywhere. These are the patterns specific to Palo Alto and Santa Clara County.

  • Disposal: loads from Palo Alto go to Sunnyvale Materials Recovery and Transfer Station in Sunnyvale, where recoverable material is separated before anything is landfilled.
  • Worth knowing locally: Palo Alto has an aggressive zero-waste policy and protected heritage trees, both of which constrain how demolition and yard debris are staged and removed.
  • Old Palo Alto: appliance removal jobs here regularly include microwaves and countertop appliances.
  • Professorville: the local housing stock is Professorville Craftsman landmarks and Eichler tracts in Midtown and Barron Park, where flat roofs and glass walls limit how debris can be moved out — which shapes what a appliance removal job involves, refrigerators, freezers and wine coolers included.

How appliance removal works in Palo Alto

  1. 1

    Book the pickup

    Tell us the appliance type and where it sits. Call 877-536-7941 — most Palo Alto appliance jobs are quoted in under a minute.

  2. 2

    Safe disconnection

    We disconnect from water and power. Gas appliances need the line shut off at the valve first — we will tell you if a plumber is needed before we roll a truck.

  3. 3

    Damage-free removal

    Appliance dollies, floor protection and door removal where necessary. Eichler homes have atriums and narrow side passages rather than conventional side yards, so removal routes have to be planned before the crew arrives

  4. 4

    Certified recycling

    Refrigerant is recovered by certified technicians and the metal is recycled. Palo Alto has an aggressive zero-waste policy and protected heritage trees, both of which constrain how demolition and yard debris are staged and removed

Appliance Removal in Palo Alto — your questions answered

The questions we are asked most often about appliance removal in Palo Alto and the surrounding Santa Clara County area.

How much does appliance removal cost in Palo Alto?
Appliance pricing depends on the unit and how many you have. Refrigerators and freezers sit a little higher than other appliances because refrigerant has to be recovered by a certified technician and documented - that is a real step, not a surcharge. Several appliances from the same Palo Alto address are meaningfully cheaper per unit. Call 877-536-7941 for a firm number.
Can I just leave my old fridge at the kerb in Palo Alto?
No — and it is a genuinely bad idea. Refrigerators contain regulated refrigerants, and Santa Clara County requires certified evacuation before scrapping. An abandoned appliance at the kerb can also generate a code-enforcement citation against the property. We handle the compliant route instead.
Do you disconnect the appliance or do I need to?
We disconnect standard water and electrical connections as part of the service. For gas appliances the supply must be shut off at the valve — if the valve is seized or there is no shutoff, you will need a plumber first, and we will tell you that up front rather than at the door.
Do you take appliances that still work?
Yes. Working appliances in good condition are offered to local reuse and charity partners before anything else happens to them. Given that Professorville Craftsman landmarks and Eichler tracts in Midtown and Barron Park, where flat roofs and glass walls limit how debris can be moved out in Palo Alto, we see a lot of perfectly serviceable units displaced by kitchen remodels.
Can you remove a water heater from a basement or crawl space?
Yes. Water heaters are awkward rather than impossible — they are heavy, often corroded, and usually in the least accessible part of the house. In Palo Alto, Eichler homes have atriums and narrow side passages rather than conventional side yards, so removal routes have to be planned before the crew arrives We bring the equipment for it.
Do you handle commercial kitchen equipment?
Yes. Walk-in cooler panels, commercial ranges, prep tables, ice machines and fryers are all within scope. Restaurant and commercial jobs in Palo Alto can be scheduled outside business hours so your operation is not disrupted.
Do you cover all of Palo Alto?
Yes — every neighbourhood, including Old Palo Alto, Professorville, Midtown and Barron Park. We also serve the surrounding Santa Clara County communities, so if you are just outside the city line we can almost certainly still help. Call 877-536-7941 and we will confirm in a moment.
Do you offer same-day service in Palo Alto?
We run Santa Clara County daily and can often reach Palo Alto the same day when you call before mid-morning. Eichler homes have atriums and narrow side passages rather than conventional side yards, so removal routes have to be planned before the crew arrives, so we confirm a realistic arrival window rather than a vague half-day promise.
