Appliance removal jobs we handle in Elk Grove Village
Getting rid of an old kitchen appliance starts behind it: a gas line to cap, a water line to shut, a hardwired cable to make safe. In Elk Grove Village we disconnect each unit properly, protect the floor and doorways on the way out and take it to recycling, so the space is clean and ready for what comes next.
Hardwired wall oven or cooktop removal
Removing a built-in cooking appliance means unscrewing it from the cabinet or counter and making the wiring behind it safe. Both are part of the job.
Microwave, hood or small built-ins
Smaller kitchen appliances still need disconnecting. We remove old microwaves, hoods and compactors along with the big units.
Dishwasher removal without a flood
We shut the water valve, disconnect the supply and drain lines and cap them, then slide the dishwasher out over a protected floor.
Protecting floors and walls on the way out
Dragging an appliance across the floor is how most damage happens. We lift, roll and protect the route instead.
Clearing the kitchen before a remodel
When a remodel is about to start, every appliance has to come out first. We disconnect them all, cap the utilities and leave the room empty.
Gas range that needs disconnecting
Pulling a gas range out isn't just lifting. The supply is turned off, the line capped and tested, then the range is moved out on a dolly.
Appliance that still works and could be donated
A replacement isn't always about a broken appliance. When yours still runs, donation is an option we offer.

Kitchen Appliance Removal questions from Elk Grove Village homeowners
Can I put an old refrigerator out with the garbage?
Usually not with regular trash. Refrigerators contain refrigerant that has to be recovered before scrapping, so they need special pickup or a recycler.
How much does appliance removal cost?
Number of appliances, access and disconnect work drive the price. We put it in writing up front.
Can you take an appliance that still works?
Yes. We remove it the same way, and if it's in good shape we try donation or reuse before recycling.
Does Elk Grove Village pick up old appliances?
Some villages and haulers collect large appliances on request. The catch is getting it to the curb, and that's the part we handle.
Can you remove an appliance from the basement or second floor?
Yes. We bring the right dolly and straps, protect the stairs and walls and carry it up or down safely.
Do you work in my part of Elk Grove Village?
Yes. Our crews work across Elk Grove Village — ZIP 60007 — and nearby Itasca, Wood Dale, Schaumburg.
