Our appliance removal service includes:
- Lifting and carrying
- Removal from the home or building
- Loading into our truck
- Hauling from the property
- Recycling or appropriate disposal
- Removal of multiple appliances when required
You do not need to move the appliance outside. Tell us where it is located and identify any stairs or access restrictions before your appointment.

Refrigerator and Freezer Removal
Old refrigerators and freezers are especially difficult to move because of their size and weight. They also contain refrigerants and other components that require proper handling at an approved facility.

Trash B Gone transports refrigerators and freezers for appropriate processing. We do not release or remove refrigerants on-site.
Washer and Dryer Removal
Washing machines and dryers are bulky and may be located in basements, closets or upper-floor laundry rooms.
Our crew can carry and remove disconnected:
- Top-load washing machines
- Front-load washing machines
- Electric dryers
- Gas dryers that have been professionally disconnected
- Stacked laundry units
- Laundry pedestals
- Compact laundry machines
Washing machines must be disconnected and drained before removal. Gas dryers must be disconnected by a qualified gas professional.
Tell us if the appliance is stacked, built into cabinetry or located in a restricted space.
Stove, Oven and Dishwasher Removal
Renovating a kitchen often leaves behind heavy appliances that cannot be placed in normal household garbage.
We can remove disconnected:
- Electric stoves
- Gas ranges
- Wall ovens
- Cooktops
- Dishwashers
- Range hoods
- Built-in microwaves
- Trash compactors
Built-in appliances must be safely disconnected and released from the cabinetry before removal unless disassembly has been specifically included in your quote.
Gas appliances must be disconnected and, where required, capped by a qualified gas fitter. Trash B Gone does not disconnect or cap gas lines.
Hot Water Tank Removal
Old hot water tanks are heavy and often located in basements, utility rooms or confined spaces.
We may remove electric or gas-fired hot water tanks once they have been:
- Professionally disconnected where required
- Fully drained
- Released from plumbing connections
- Made safe to transport
- Cleared of surrounding obstructions
Send photographs of the tank, its location and the full removal route. Difficult access or unusually heavy tanks may require additional labour.
Small Appliance Removal
Small appliances can be included with a larger junk or appliance pickup.
These may include:
- Microwaves
- Toasters
- Coffee makers
- Blenders
- Air fryers
- Fans
- Vacuum cleaners
- Space heaters
- Portable air conditioners
- Dehumidifiers
- Water dispensers
- Countertop appliances
For only one small appliance, a municipal recycling depot or retailer program may be more economical. Trash B Gone is most cost-effective when collecting a large appliance or several unwanted items together.

We provide appliance removal for:
- Offices

- Retail spaces

Trash B Gone works with landlords and property managers to remove unwanted appliances from:
- Houses
- Apartments
- Basement suites
- Condominiums
- Rental buildings
- Storage areas
- Commercial units
- Eviction properties
Appliance removal can be combined with furniture removal, household junk removal, garbage removal and complete rental property cleanouts.

Certain appliances may require special handling because they contain:
- Refrigerants
