Appliance removal jobs we handle in Lombard
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 Lombard 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.
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
We pull down the old microwave or hood, close off the opening or wiring and take it with the rest.
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.
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.
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.
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
Before demolition, we take out the range, fridge, dishwasher, microwave and hood in one visit so the crew can start on clean walls.

Kitchen Appliance Removal questions from Lombard homeowners
Can you remove appliances from a condo?
We do condo removals, coordinated with management.
Do I need to empty or defrost the fridge first?
Please empty it, and if you can, unplug it a day ahead with a towel underneath so the freezer can drain.
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.
Do you disconnect the gas and water?
We do. Disconnecting is part of the job, not something you have to arrange.
What happens to my old appliance?
It's recycled or reused. Very little of an appliance needs to end up in a landfill.
Can you do appliance removal in a Lombard condo?
Associations usually set rules for work hours, elevators, deliveries and insurance, and many require approval for plumbing, electrical or structural changes. We provide the certificate of insurance and follow the building's rules.
Lombard contractor registration: do kitchen contractors need it?
Contractors must register with the Village: $100 fee, valid 1 year, online or via Building Division; insurance certificate with at least $300,000 liability coverage. We take care of that before work starts.
Can Lombard bulk pickup take my old appliance or cabinets?
Hauler Waste Management. Large items under 100 lbs collected with one refuse sticker per 50 lbs. If you'd rather not deal with it, we haul old units and debris away.
Do I need a permit for appliance removal in Lombard?
It depends on the scope. Lombard's rule in short: Village requires a building permit for new structures and updates to existing structures; replacing interior doors and fixtures at the same size with no structural change needs no permit. We handle the permit when one is needed with Building Division, Community Development and Building.
Do you work in my part of Lombard?
Yes. Our crews work across Lombard — ZIP 60148 — and nearby Villa Park, Glen Ellyn, Addison.
