Appliance removal jobs we handle in Batavia
A dead fridge in the garage or a stove that's being replaced doesn't have to sit around for weeks. We shut off and cap the connections, carry the unit out without scuffing walls or floors and haul it off from your Batavia home.
Appliance that still works and could be donated
If the old unit is clean and working, it may have a second life. We can take it to a reuse or donation outlet instead of the scrapyard where one will accept it.
Removal when the new appliance is coming from a store
Not every retailer takes the old unit, or only takes it if it's already unhooked. We disconnect and remove it, before delivery day or after.
Microwave, hood or small built-ins
Over-the-range microwaves, range hoods and trash compactors come out too. We take down the bracket, cap the wiring or duct and remove the unit.
Clearing the kitchen before a remodel
Out with the whole appliance set at once: connections safely capped and the kitchen cleared for new cabinets and floors.
Second fridge or freezer in the garage or basement
Old basement freezers and garage fridges use power and space. We remove them and get the refrigerant recovered.
Old refrigerator or freezer that has to go
A refrigerator can't simply be tossed. Ours go to recyclers that pull the refrigerant and oil first, then process the rest.
Broken appliance that's leaking or smells
If water has pooled under the appliance, we let you know what we see underneath after it's out, so the floor or subfloor can be checked.
What we hook up and check
- Walkthrough and route checkDoorways, stairs and the hookups behind each unit are checked first.
- Floor and doorway protectionRunners down, corners and frames padded before anything moves.

Kitchen Appliance Removal questions from Batavia homeowners
Can I put an old refrigerator out with the garbage?
Generally no. Refrigerant appliances need proper recovery, which is why we take them to recyclers set up for it.
What happens to my old appliance?
It's recycled or reused. Very little of an appliance needs to end up in a landfill.
Is appliance removal free?
Free haul-away is sometimes bundled with a purchase. Our service covers the jobs those don't: gas and water disconnects, stairs and recycling.
Do you disconnect the gas and water?
We do. Disconnecting is part of the job, not something you have to arrange.
Can you take an appliance that still works?
Yes, and a working appliance may find a new home instead of the scrapyard.
Can Batavia bulk pickup take my old appliance or cabinets?
Refrigerators (doors removed), water heaters (drained) and dishwashers set out by calling hauler 630-587-8282 at least one day ahead, one refuse sticker each. Freon appliances arranged through the hauler. If you'd rather not deal with it, we haul old units and debris away.
Do I need a permit for appliance removal in Batavia?
It depends on the scope. Batavia's rule in short: Building permits are required for all construction; a Residential Alteration handout is available. We handle the permit when one is needed with City of Batavia Community & Economic Development - Building Division.
Do you work in my part of Batavia?
Yes. Our crews work across Batavia — ZIP 60510, 60539 — and nearby Geneva, St. Charles, West Chicago.
