Appliance removal jobs we handle in Geneva
Our Geneva crews remove refrigerators, freezers, ranges, wall ovens, cooktops, dishwashers and microwaves, one at a time or a whole kitchen before a remodel. We do the lifting and the stairs, and the old units go to recyclers or donation instead of the curb.
Broken appliance that's leaking or smells
A fridge that died with food inside or a dishwasher that's been leaking needs careful handling. We empty, seal and remove it without spreading the mess.
Microwave, hood or small built-ins
We pull down the old microwave or hood, close off the opening or wiring and take it with the rest.
Old refrigerator or freezer that has to go
We remove old fridges and chest or upright freezers, cap the water supply behind them and send them for refrigerant recovery and recycling.
Second fridge or freezer in the garage or basement
That extra refrigerator in the garage or the old chest freezer in the basement often gets left for years. We carry it up or out and send it for recycling.
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.
Protecting floors and walls on the way out
We lay runners and use appliance dollies with straps so a heavy range or fridge doesn't scratch hardwood or tear vinyl.
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.

Kitchen Appliance Removal questions from Geneva homeowners
Is appliance removal free?
Some stores take the old unit when they deliver a new one, and those programs are worth checking. When they don't fit, we give a written estimate based on the appliances and the disconnect work.
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.
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.
Does Geneva 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.
Do you disconnect the gas and water?
Yes. Gas lines are shut off and capped, water lines closed and sealed, and hardwired units made safe before removal.
Geneva contractor registration: do kitchen contractors need it?
None: the City does not have contractor registration (contractor name, address, phone and license numbers if required go on the application). We take care of that before work starts.
What happens to the old appliance in Geneva?
Hauler LRS (customer service 844-633-3577); yard waste and bulk items require waste stickers. If you'd rather not deal with it, we haul old units and debris away.
Do I need a permit for appliance removal in Geneva?
It depends on the scope. Geneva's rule in short: A building permit is required before any construction or alteration; separate Kitchen Remodel permit form exists. We handle the permit when one is needed with Building & Zoning Division (Building Division), 109 James St..
Do you work in my part of Geneva?
Yes. Our crews work across Geneva, including Mill Creek — ZIP 60134, 60510 — and nearby Batavia, St. Charles, West Chicago.
