Professional appliance removal for San Francisco 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 San Francisco property, including basements, second floors and back yards. Because this is the hardest city in the region to work — permit parking, one-way streets, 20% grades in Bernal and Noe, and stair-only access to most upper flats, 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 San Francisco — what we typically see

Every city produces a different version of the same job. Here is what appliance removal in San Francisco typically looks like in practice.

  • Disposal: loads from San Francisco go to Recology's Tunnel Avenue transfer station in San Francisco, where recoverable material is separated before anything is landfilled.
  • Worth knowing locally: San Francisco has a mandatory recycling and composting ordinance and requires construction debris to go to a registered facility, so nothing from a city job goes to landfill unsorted.
  • The Mission: appliance removal jobs here regularly include water heaters (gas and electric).
  • Bernal Heights: the local housing stock is Victorian and Edwardian flats stacked three and four units deep, with garage-level storage, light wells and no elevator in most buildings — which shapes what a appliance removal job involves, washing machines and clothes dryers included.

San Francisco customers on our appliance removal

“Called at 9am about a sleeper sofa stuck in a third-floor walk-up and they had it out by 2pm. No damage to the stairwell, no drama, and the price was exactly what was quoted on the phone.”
Marisol R. · San Francisco, CA
“Old fridge and a washer out of a basement with a very tight turn at the bottom of the stairs. They took the door off, got it out, put the door back. Total pros.”
Anita P. · Alameda, CA
“Handled my mother's house after she passed. They set aside a box of photos and her papers that we would have lost, and they never once made us feel rushed. That mattered more than the price.”
Ellen W. · Berkeley, CA

Appliance Removal in San Francisco — your questions answered

The questions we are asked most often about appliance removal in San Francisco and the surrounding San Francisco County area.

How much does appliance removal cost in San Francisco?
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 San Francisco 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 San Francisco?
No — and it is a genuinely bad idea. Refrigerators contain regulated refrigerants, and San Francisco 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 Victorian and Edwardian flats stacked three and four units deep, with garage-level storage, light wells and no elevator in most buildings in San Francisco, 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 San Francisco, this is the hardest city in the region to work — permit parking, one-way streets, 20% grades in Bernal and Noe, and stair-only access to most upper flats 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 San Francisco can be scheduled outside business hours so your operation is not disrupted.
Do you cover all of San Francisco?
Yes — every neighbourhood, including the Mission, Bernal Heights, the Sunset, Noe Valley and the Richmond. We also serve the surrounding San Francisco 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.
How soon can you schedule appliance removal in San Francisco?
Same-day is often possible in San Francisco. Because our disposal point is Recology's Tunnel Avenue transfer station in San Francisco, we can usually fit an extra San Francisco stop into an existing route.
