Appliance removal jobs we handle in Park Ridge
Our Park Ridge 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Gas range that needs disconnecting
We close the valve behind the range, take off the flex line and seal the outlet so nothing is left open when the unit is gone.
Included with the install
- Walkthrough and route checkWe look at each appliance, its connections and the path out of the house.
- Floor and doorway protectionWe cover the route from the kitchen to the truck.

Kitchen Appliance Removal questions from Park Ridge homeowners
Does Park Ridge 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.
What happens to my old appliance?
Fridges and freezers go to facilities that recover the refrigerant; other units go to metal recyclers. Working ones can go to donation.
How much does appliance removal cost?
A single fridge from a ground-floor kitchen and a full set from a basement are priced differently. You get a line-item quote first.
Can you remove an appliance from the basement or second floor?
Yes. Tell us about the stairs when you book so we plan the crew size.
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.
Do I need a Park Ridge-registered contractor for appliance removal?
Building contractors must register with the City each calendar year ($50 per firm). We take care of that before work starts.
Do I need a permit for appliance removal in Park Ridge?
It depends on the scope. Park Ridge's rule in short: Park Ridge publishes permit guidelines by project type; contact the Permit Technicians to confirm whether a kitchen project needs a permit. We handle the permit when one is needed.
Do you work in my part of Park Ridge?
Yes. Our crews work across Park Ridge — ZIP 60068 — and nearby Des Plaines, Glenview, Skokie.
