Appliance Removal in Orland Park, IL
Refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, stoves, dishwashers, and window units pulled out and hauled off, with refrigerant handled correctly.
Appliances are the heaviest single thing most homeowners try to move themselves, and the one where a shortcut has consequences beyond a sore back. A full size refrigerator is 250 to 350 pounds of steel with a door that swings and a floor that scratches. A basement laundry pair has to come up the stairs the appliance guys carried it down years ago. Orland Park Junk disconnects what can safely be disconnected, gets the unit out without gouging your floors, and disposes of it the way federal refrigerant rules require. Basement, garage, second floor laundry closet, it is all the same job to us.

What We Remove
Refrigerant is the part people do not think about
Anything that gets cold has refrigerant in it. Refrigerators, freezers, window air conditioners, and dehumidifiers all qualify. Federal rules under Section 608 of the Clean Air Act require that refrigerant be recovered with certified equipment before the appliance is disposed of, and the final disposer has to be able to document that it happened. That is not a local ordinance you can wait out. It is why a refrigerator cannot simply go in a dumpster or on the back of a pickup headed to a scrap yard.
Orland Park's own waste page says white goods including refrigerators, washers, dryers, water heaters, dishwashers, air conditioning units, dehumidifiers, and dismantled toilets may be placed at the curb for collection and will be recycled, but you have to call Waste Management customer service before collection day rather than just setting it out. If your unit is in the garage, you can lift it, and you are willing to make that call, that is the free route and we will say so.
The reason people call us instead is usually that the freezer is in the basement, the fridge is full and has been off for a week, or they need it gone today rather than after a scheduled callback.
Getting it out of the house without a mess
We show up with an appliance dolly, straps, and floor protection. Water lines to a refrigerator or a washer get shut at the valve and disconnected, and we bring a towel because there is always more water in a washer drum and a supply line than anyone expects. Dryer vents come loose in about a minute.
Gas is the exception and we will be straight with you about it. A gas range or a gas dryer needs the valve shut and the line disconnected and capped, and if you are not comfortable doing that yourself, have a plumber or your appliance installer handle it before we arrive. We are not going to guess on a gas fitting in your kitchen.
A second floor laundry closet or a basement stair is not a problem, it is just two people instead of one. A chest freezer that has been sitting unplugged is worth mentioning when you text, since the contents make a real difference in weight and in how carefully it has to be handled on the way out.
Electronics that come along with the appliance
Half the time the old refrigerator is going out with a dead television and a tower PC from the basement, so it is worth knowing the rule. Illinois bans electronics from landfill disposal, and the Village lists the covered items directly: televisions, monitors, printers, computers and laptops and tablets, keyboards, fax machines, VCRs, DVD players and recorders, game consoles, scanners, digital converter boxes, and cable and satellite receivers.
If you want to handle those yourself, Cook County and South Suburban College run the CHaRM drop off center at 15800 South State Street in South Holland. It is free to residents, proof of residency may be required, and it is open Tuesdays 8 a.m. to noon, Thursdays 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., and the second and fourth Saturday of each month from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Waste Management also offers an At Your Door special collection service that Orland Park residents can schedule for electronics, paint, motor oil, and batteries.
If you would rather it all leave in one trip, we take the electronics along and route them to a registered recycler instead of the landfill.
What It Costs
Appliances are priced per unit, and the price includes the disconnect, the carry out, and proper disposal.
| Job | Typical price |
|---|---|
| Refrigerator or freezer | $150 to $225 |
| Washer or dryer | $125 to $175 |
| Washer and dryer pair | $225 to $300 |
| Stove, range, or dishwasher | $125 to $175 |
| Window air conditioner or dehumidifier | $75 to $125 |
Text a photo to (708) 840-0147 along with what floor it is on and we will confirm the exact price. Stair carries and full chest freezers land at the top of the range. Ask about our discounts, because a laundry pair or a fridge plus a few other items always prices better than one at a time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you handle the freon in a refrigerator or window AC?
Yes. Federal rules require refrigerant to be recovered with certified equipment before the unit is disposed of, and the disposer has to be able to document it. We route refrigerant bearing appliances through a facility that does that. You do not need to arrange anything.
Can Waste Management take my old refrigerator for free?
The Village's waste page says white goods including refrigerators, washers, dryers, dishwashers, AC units, and dehumidifiers may be placed at the curb and will be recycled, but you have to call Waste Management customer service before collection. If it is already in your garage and you can move it, that is the cheapest route and we will tell you to take it.
Will you disconnect a gas stove or gas dryer?
No, and you should be suspicious of anyone who says yes casually. Have a plumber or appliance installer shut the valve and cap the line first. Electric appliances and water lines we disconnect ourselves.
Can you get a washer and dryer up from a basement?
Yes. Two people come on every appliance job, and a basement laundry pair is routine. Tell us if the stair has a turn in it and whether the door at the top is a standard width.
Will you take the old TV and computer at the same time?
Yes. Illinois bans electronics from landfills, so they get routed to a registered recycler. If you would rather do it free, the CHaRM center in South Holland accepts electronics from Cook County residents at no charge on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and two Saturdays a month.
