Appliance removal jobs we handle in Hoffman Estates
Our Hoffman Estates 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.
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
Spare fridges and freezers are usually in the hardest spots to reach. We handle the stairs and the tight corners.
Removal when the new appliance is coming from a store
Some delivery crews won't touch gas lines or water connections. We prepare the old appliance and haul it off so the new one can go right in.
Old refrigerator or freezer that has to go
Fridges and freezers hold refrigerant that must be captured before the metal is recycled. We shut off the ice-maker line, carry the unit out and deliver it to facilities that recover the refrigerant.
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.
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.
Dishwasher removal without a flood
Old dishwashers hold water in the bottom and the lines. We drain and disconnect them properly so nothing spills on the floor.
What the install includes
- Walkthrough and route checkWe look at each appliance, its connections and the path out of the house.
- Floor and doorway protectionRunners down, corners and frames padded before anything moves.
- Gas disconnect and capValve closed, connector removed, outlet capped and checked for leaks.

Kitchen Appliance Removal questions from Hoffman Estates homeowners
Does Hoffman Estates 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 I need to empty or defrost the fridge first?
Clear out the food. An early unplug helps, but we can still remove it if you couldn't.
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.
Is appliance removal free?
Not usually, since disconnecting, carrying and recycling all take time. We tell you the price before we start.
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.
What happens to the old appliance in Hoffman Estates?
Hauler Groot: appliance pickup is free but must be scheduled (847-734-6400); large/heavy items and debris over 1 cubic yard are billed per cubic yard. If you'd rather not deal with it, we haul old units and debris away.
Hoffman Estates contractor registration: do kitchen contractors need it?
Contractors must register through a BS&A Online Contractor account (annual registration form and documents) and submit the Contractor/Design Professionals Registration Form and a Workers Compensation Affidavit. No fee stated. We take care of that before work starts.
Do I need a permit for appliance removal in Hoffman Estates?
It depends on the scope. Hoffman Estates's rule in short: Kitchen remodels go through the Residential Remodel permit: submit plans (1/4 inch scale) of existing and proposed kitchen showing plumbing fixtures, outlets, appliances and panel, plus a scope of work or contract. We handle the permit when one is needed with Development Services Department - Code Enforcement (Building Permits).
