What Do You Need To Quote A Refrigerator Pickup?
Send a photo and approximate dimensions, and say whether it is a full-size fridge, mini fridge, upright freezer or chest freezer. Mention if it is built into cabinetry or is commercial equipment; those setups require a separate scope check.
Include stairs, doorway widths, tight kitchen corners and the route to the loading area. If it is already in a garage or driveway, show that location. Other units can be discussed with the same request; see our appliance removal service for related items.
Do I Need To Disconnect And Empty The Refrigerator First?
Tell us whether an ice maker or dispenser is connected to a water line and whether the unit is still running. Confirm disconnection arrangements before the visit; hauling does not automatically include plumbing changes or cabinet alterations.
Plan to remove food and personal items before the agreed pickup. Tell us about leaks, spoiled contents or other condition concerns so acceptance and preparation can be discussed. Do not attempt to drain refrigerant, cut cooling lines or dismantle the sealed cooling system yourself.
How Do You Legally Dispose Of A Refrigerator?
Refrigerated appliances need appropriate handling of refrigerant and other components during disposal. Ask about the receiving facility and handling plan when booking. The EPA's appliance disposal guidance explains why this matters and describes other collection options consumers can check.
If you are comparing retailer haul-away, a utility program or municipal collection, verify their current eligibility and preparation requirements directly. This service does not promise a rebate, free recycling, program membership or a particular appliance trade-in value.
Can You Pick Up The Old Fridge When The New One Arrives?
Ask your new-appliance retailer whether old-unit removal is included. If you need a separate pickup, share the delivery date and whether the old unit will still be in the kitchen. Availability must be confirmed before you rely on a particular window.
The quote depends on the appliance, access and agreed work. Call or text (442) 414-3483 with your city, photos and connection details. We serve Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Riverside and Orange counties; confirm any unusual equipment or setup before booking.

Refrigerator Removal FAQ
Can you pick up an old refrigerator from inside the house?
Describe where it is, its dimensions and the route out. Send photos of stairs or tight spaces so we can confirm the removal plan and quote for the actual access.
Should I disconnect the refrigerator's water line?
Tell us about the connection before booking and confirm who will handle any required disconnection. Do not assume plumbing work or cabinet alterations are included in a hauling quote.
Where can I get my refrigerator picked up for free in Los Angeles?
If your home has curbside trash service from LA Sanitation, the City picks up refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, dishwashers, air conditioners and water heaters at no extra cost. Call 1-800-773-2489 at least one business day before your regular trash day with a list of the items, and take the doors off a refrigerator or freezer before it goes to the curb. It is a curbside service: if the fridge is still in the kitchen or garage, or you live outside the City of Los Angeles, that is the pickup we do. See our guide to free junk disposal in Los Angeles.
Is refrigerator pickup free or eligible for a rebate?
No free pickup or rebate is promised. Request a removal quote from S&M Trash Junkers. If you are considering a utility or retailer program, check its current availability and eligibility directly with that provider.
