Appliance removal jobs we handle in Glen Ellyn
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 Glen Ellyn home.
Removal when the new appliance is coming from a store
If the store's haul-away doesn't fit your schedule or skips gas and water units, we take care of the old appliance ourselves.
Doorways and stairs too tight for the appliance
Basement stairs and narrow back doors are where old appliances get stuck. We measure the path, strip what has to come off and use the right dolly.
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.
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
Smaller kitchen appliances still need disconnecting. We remove old microwaves, hoods and compactors along with the big units.
Gas range that needs disconnecting
Before a gas stove can leave, the shutoff is closed, the connector removed and the gas outlet capped. We do it carefully and check the cap for leaks.
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.
What we hook up and check
- Floor and doorway protectionWe cover the route from the kitchen to the truck.
- Gas disconnect and capValve closed, connector removed, outlet capped and checked for leaks.
- Water and drain disconnectSupply valves shut, lines removed and capped, drains released and plugged.

Kitchen Appliance Removal questions from Glen Ellyn homeowners
Do I need to empty or defrost the fridge first?
Yes, empty it. Defrosting overnight keeps water off the floor during the move.
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.
Does Glen Ellyn pick up old appliances?
Many suburbs offer bulk or special-item pickup through their waste hauler, often by appointment and with extra rules for fridges. Check with the village; if you'd rather not move it to the curb, we carry it out for you.
Do you disconnect the gas and water?
Yes. Nothing is left open or live where the appliance used to be.
Do I need a Glen Ellyn-registered contractor for appliance removal?
Contractors must register with the Village and meet license and insurance requirements (Village Code 4-1-11); work that does not need a building permit is exempt. We take care of that before work starts.
Do you work in my part of Glen Ellyn?
Yes. Our crews work across Glen Ellyn — ZIP 60137 — and nearby Wheaton, Lombard, Glendale Heights.
