Professional appliance removal for San Mateo 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 Mateo property, including basements, second floors and back yards. Because San Mateo Park has mature street trees and narrow lanes that limit truck height, while Shoreview condo complexes have posted loading zones and time limits, 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 in San Mateo — your questions answered

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

How much does appliance removal cost in San Mateo?
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 Mateo 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 Mateo?
No — and it is a genuinely bad idea. Refrigerators contain regulated refrigerants, and San Mateo 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 a broad mix of 1920s San Mateo Park estates, mid-century Hillsdale tracts and dense Shoreview condos and apartments in San Mateo, 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 Mateo, San Mateo Park has mature street trees and narrow lanes that limit truck height, while Shoreview condo complexes have posted loading zones and time limits 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 Mateo can be scheduled outside business hours so your operation is not disrupted.
Do you cover all of San Mateo?
Yes — every neighbourhood, including San Mateo Park, Hillsdale, Baywood and Shoreview. We also serve the surrounding San Mateo 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 Mateo?
Same-day is often possible in San Mateo. Because our disposal point is Shoreway Environmental Center in San Carlos, we can usually fit an extra San Mateo stop into an existing route.
