When an appliance stops working, it’s not always as sudden as it seems. Over time, your trusty fridge may lose its cooling power, freon might stop circulating, or wiring issues can cause malfunctions. Even microwaves eventually fail to heat properly. And let’s face it—who doesn’t love an upgrade? New appliances like stylish washers and dryers or a modern oven aren’t just functional; they make everyday life easier, more efficient, and a little more enjoyable. However, when it’s time to replace these appliances, you’ll need a way to get rid of the old ones, and that’s where appliance removal comes in. So, how much does appliance removal cost? At JM Junk Removers, we provide our clients with transparent pricing and top-notch service to make the process seamless. Here’s everything you need to know.
1. Understanding Appliance Removal Costs
Appliance removal costs can vary, but here are a few averages to give you an idea:
- Size and Weight of the Appliance
Large, heavy appliances like refrigerators or washing machines usually cost between $70-$150 for removal due to the extra labor and hauling space required. Smaller appliances, like microwaves, often fall in the $30-$60 range. - Accessibility
Easier access can keep removal costs down, but tight spaces, stairs, or multi-story homes might add a bit to the cost, typically around $10-$20 extra per appliance. - Recycling or Disposal Fees
Some appliances, especially those with refrigerants like air conditioners, may require an additional disposal fee. Recycling fees for environmentally responsible disposal usually range from $20-$50. - Service Type: Single Item vs. Multiple Items
Single-item pickups are affordable, but many companies, including JM Junk Removers, offer discounts for bundled items. For example, you may see bundled removal starting at $150 for three or more items, saving you on per-item costs.
For a single large appliance, you might expect a total cost in the range of $100-$200, while removing multiple appliances can bring the average per-item cost down, especially when bundled.
These ranges are based on average industry pricing, but JM Junk Removers offers clear, no-obligation quotes tailored to your exact needs. Need to see our full pricing? Check out our appliance removal pricing page!
2. Who Does Appliance Removal?
There are a few ways to remove appliances, depending on your preferences, budget, and whether you want to handle any of it yourself:
- Professional Junk Removal Services
Junk removal companies like JM Junk Removers specialize in safe, hassle-free appliance removal. We handle the heavy lifting, navigate tight spaces, and ensure that your old appliances are disposed of properly, often through eco-friendly options. Additionally, we cater to residents in upscale neighborhoods across Collin, Dallas, and Rockwall counties, so you can expect a professional, friendly experience every time. - Retailers
Many appliance retailers will haul away old appliances for a small fee, or even for free, when you purchase a new one. This option is convenient but usually requires an appliance purchase from that retailer, so it’s worth considering when upgrading or replacing specific items. - DIY Disposal
If you’re willing to handle the removal yourself, you can take old appliances to local recycling centers or transfer stations. However, transporting large items can be challenging, and there may be fees for certain appliances, particularly those that contain chemicals or refrigerants. Check with local facilities for details on accepted items and pricing.

Key Factors to Consider When Scheduling Appliance Removal
To ensure a smooth appliance removal experience, keep these points in mind:
- Schedule Ahead
Booking in advance helps you secure a time that works best for your schedule, especially if you want same-day or weekend service. - Eco-Friendly Disposal
Not all junk removal companies prioritize recycling, so choose a service like JM Junk Removers that ensures eco-friendly practices and responsible disposal. - Bundled Services for Extra Savings
If you have multiple items for removal, bundling services can save you money and clear out more space in one go.
