What do you do with all the old appliances when you replace them at once?

Start by disconnecting the old appliances and setting aside anything that still has value. Then schedule one removal job for all of them instead of having each item hauled away separately.

If you have just one major appliance that you need to haul away, that’s not hard to plan around. But if a remodel has you replacing a refrigerator, range, dishwasher, washer, and dryer all in the same project, that’s a different story. Old appliances tend to be bulky and heavy. They also usually need to be out of the way before the next round of work can even begin.

Before pickup, start by making sure appliances are disconnected from water, gas, or electrical lines. When it comes to appliance removal, most crews, including The Junkluggers, require the appliances to be properly disconnected before the crew arrives. This is extra important for built-in units that are coming out during a kitchen or laundry renovation.

If your appliance still works and a local charity will take it, donation is an excellent option. But if that doesn't pan out, the crew makes sure broken appliances and other recyclable materials go to the right facilities. And having all of this done in one visit is a lot easier than finding a separate destination for every old unit following a remodel.

For larger projects in San Diego, you can often make your life easier by coordinating appliance removal around your contractor's schedule. As long as the old units are no longer hooked up, crews like The Junkluggers can work with you to free up space between phases of your project. If you’re on a tight timeline, same-day and next-day appointments are often available when the schedule allows.
