Appliance Removal Milwaukee

Appliance Removal in Milwaukee

You can’t set an old fridge out with the bulky items in Milwaukee: the City doesn’t count appliances as bulky waste, and state law keeps major appliances out of landfills. We carry it out — often from the basement — and send it to refrigerant recovery and metal recycling. A refrigerator is $164, a chest freezer $146.

“Had a plan AND morning confirmation with [another junk remover] and they canceled last minute, an hour before. I was in a bind, and I called & texted the folks at JunkRabbit. They were fast, courteous and available on short notice.”

The Basement Appliance Set

A Milwaukee basement usually holds a few of these:

  • A second fridge or chest freezer
  • The old washer and dryer
  • A retired furnace or water heater
  • A dehumidifier that finally quit

They all leave on one trip and one quote.

Why Appliances Can’t Go in the Trash Here

Wisconsin Statute §287.07 bans major appliances from landfills, alongside TVs and computers, tires and yard waste. Refrigerators and freezers also contain refrigerant that federal rules require to be recovered before scrapping.

City of Milwaukee

Appliances aren’t collected at the curb. Residents can take them to a City Drop Off Center themselves — with their own vehicle and no staff help unloading.

Suburbs

Racine’s transfer station charges per appliance, with a higher rate for Freon units. New Berlin’s recycling center accepts appliances. Waukesha residents schedule and prepay Johns Disposal.

Appliance Removal FAQs

Will the City of Milwaukee pick up my old refrigerator?

Not at the curb. Appliances aren’t considered bulky waste, so the City points residents to its Drop Off Centers instead.

How much is refrigerator removal in Milwaukee?

A standard fridge is $164 and a side-by-side $183, with refrigerant recovery included.

Can you take a chest freezer out of the basement?

Yes, for $146. Please empty it and unplug it a day ahead so it can drain.

Do you disconnect gas dryers or water heaters?

No. Have a plumber or technician shut off and disconnect gas and water lines; the crew carries the unit out once it’s free.

Where do the appliances end up?

Refrigerant is recovered by a certified technician and the metal goes to a scrap recycler — never a landfill.

Dead Appliance in the Basement?

Snap the appliance where it stands and the flat price comes back.
