Why Hollywood homeowners call us for appliance removal
An old appliance is heavier and harder to get rid of than most junk. A refrigerator has to come through doorways in one piece, and the city will not take it from the curb until the doors and refrigerant are gone. A washer that died in a second-floor laundry closet needs two people to get it down the stairs. We do the carrying, and we handle where it goes after.
If the fridge is one part of a bigger job, a garage cleanout or house cleanout covers the rest in the same visit.
- We carry it out from the kitchen, laundry room, garage or condo unit
- One appliance or a whole kitchen, priced by truck space
- Pickup the same day or the next when we have a slot
Which appliances do you take in Hollywood?
We take large and small household appliances, working or not:
- Refrigerators of every style, and mini fridges
- Chest and upright freezers, and wine coolers
- Washers and dryers, stacked or side by side
- Stoves, ranges, wall ovens and cooktops
- Dishwashers, microwaves and range hoods
- Water heaters, tank or tankless
- Window and portable air conditioners, and dehumidifiers
- Trash compactors, ice makers and small kitchen appliances
Refrigerators and freezers: what happens to the refrigerant?
The refrigerant in a fridge, freezer or window AC unit has to be recovered, not released. Federal law bars anyone disposing of an appliance from knowingly venting its refrigerant (40 CFR 82.154). The rules put the recovery step on the final processor, usually the scrap metal recycler or landfill that takes the appliance last. That facility must recover the refrigerant itself or get a signed statement saying who recovered it and when, and keep the record for three years (40 CFR 82.155).
Under those rules the refrigerant can stay sealed inside the appliance while it is moved, as long as it is recovered before the appliance is scrapped. Refrigerators and freezers we haul go whole to recycling, where the refrigerant is recovered before the metal is scrapped.
Why old appliances in Florida go to recycling, not a landfill
Florida bars white goods from landfills (F.S. 403.708). The state's definition of white goods covers discarded refrigerators, freezers, ranges, water heaters, air conditioners and heaters. So an old appliance belongs at a metal recycler, where the steel, copper and aluminum are recovered once the refrigerant is out.
It is also why a dumpster or a building's trash room is the wrong place for an old fridge. Some condo towers' rules bar owners from leaving unwanted furniture or appliances anywhere in the building.
Will the city take my fridge? Hollywood's rules and its neighbors'
Hollywood's monthly bulk pickup takes stoves and dishwashers, and it takes a refrigerator only with the doors and Freon removed. The pickup serves single-family homes and duplexes only, up to 6 cubic yards on your zone's date. Getting the Freon out before bulk day means finding someone with recovery equipment first.
The cities around Hollywood each ask for something different before a fridge goes on the curb:
| City | What the city asks before it takes a fridge | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Hollywood | Doors and Freon removed | City sanitation page |
| Pembroke Pines | A technician's sticker showing the Freon is out, and the doors and compressor removed | City bulk waste page |
| Miramar | A placard certifying the appliance is refrigerant and Freon free | City bulk collection page |
| Fort Lauderdale | Emptied, with the doors removed or secured; no Freon step listed | City bulk trash brochure |
Washers, dryers, water heaters and AC units
Washers and dryers usually go out as a pair; drain the washer and unhook its hoses. A gas dryer or gas range has to be disconnected from the gas line by a plumber or the installer of the new one, so tell us when you book if anything is still connected. A water heater is far heavier with water in the tank, so have it drained first.
Window and portable air conditioners hold refrigerant, so they go the same way as a fridge. A central AC condenser is different: disconnecting it means opening the refrigerant lines, which is work for a certified HVAC technician, so it has to be disconnected before anyone hauls it.

A fridge, a washer, a stove or a water heater.
A pair
A washer and dryer, or a fridge and a chest freezer.
A kitchen

How appliance removal works in Hollywood, in 4 steps
- Step 1
Send a photo
Text a photo of the appliance to (305) 764-2597. Tell us the floor, and whether it is still connected.
- Step 2
Get the price
The price follows the truck space it fills. Nothing moves until you agree to it.
- Step 3
We carry it out
We move it from where it stands, with care for floors and door frames on the way out.
- Step 4
Off to recycling
We load it and haul it away. A working appliance can be kept aside for donation.
What happens to appliances that still work?
A clean, working appliance can sometimes be reused instead of scrapped. Habitat for Humanity's Broward ReStore accepts working appliances, and the Salvation Army's Hollywood donation center lists appliances among what it takes; Goodwill South Florida does not take large appliances. Each charity decides what it accepts, so we cannot promise a given fridge or stove will be taken. If yours works, say so when you book, and we keep it apart from the scrap load.
