Appliance Removal Cost: Flat Prices for Washers, Dryers, Stoves, and Refrigerators

A single appliance removal from Alliance Curbside Junk Removal starts at $215 for a washer, dryer, stove, AC unit, or refrigerator, taxed at 9 percent, with automatic discounts if you clear out more than one at a time. No crew member will quote you by truck volume or make you guess what a quarter truck costs.

These are flat per item prices, not estimates. The number you see is the number you pay before tax, whether the appliance sits in your kitchen, your basement, or already on the curb.

Multi item discounts stack automatically

Most homeowners replacing a kitchen suite or swapping a laundry pair are removing more than one appliance at once. Our discount applies the moment the second item goes on the job, no coupon code needed.

Add 9 percent sales tax to any of those totals and that is your full out the door price, shown to you before you confirm the job, not after the truck is loaded.

What the flat price actually includes

• Crew comes inside the house, basement, or garage and carries the appliance out, same price as curbside
• Basic disconnection of plug in appliances like washers, dryers on electric hookups, and dishwashers
• Loading, hauling, and responsible disposal or recycling
• One flat $50 fee per job if anything travels up or down stairs, no matter how many flights or how many items

Gas appliances need the gas line shut off first

If your stove or dryer runs on gas, the gas supply valve needs to be closed before our crew disconnects the flex line. Most homeowners handle this themselves with the shutoff valve behind the appliance, or their plumber does it during the new appliance install. We are not licensed to cap or repair gas lines, only to disconnect an already shut off line and haul the unit away.

Refrigerant recovery is federal law, not a suggestion

Refrigerators, freezers, and window or through wall AC units contain refrigerant that cannot legally be vented into the air. EPA Section 608 requires certified recovery before the unit is scrapped or recycled. This is a legal requirement in both New York and Connecticut, not a local quirk.

Our crew follows certified recovery practice on every refrigerator and AC unit we take, so you are not on the hook for a violation that happened on a curb outside your house.

New York appliance recycling rules

New York State bans major appliances from regular landfill waste streams in most municipalities, and towns across Westchester, including White Plains, Yonkers, New Rochelle, and Mount Vernon, separate white goods for scrap metal recycling. The New York DEC oversees these recycling standards and refrigerant handling requirements for appliances pulled out of service.

Connecticut appliance recycling rules

Connecticut DEEP mandates recycling of major household appliances statewide, and towns like Stamford, Norwalk, Danbury, and Fairfield run scrap metal diversion programs through their public works departments. Appliances get stripped of refrigerant, drained of oils, and broken down for steel and aluminum recovery rather than landfilled.

Same day appliance removal across both counties

New appliance delivery day is usually the day the old one needs to leave, and most delivery crews will not haul away your old washer or fridge. We run same day and next day appointments across Westchester and Fairfield County specifically for this reason.

• Westchester: White Plains, Yonkers, New Rochelle, Scarsdale, Mamaroneck, Rye, Mount Vernon, Greenburgh
• Fairfield County: Stamford, Norwalk, Greenwich, Darien, Westport, Fairfield, Bridgeport, Danbury

Stairs, tight hallways, and basement laundry rooms

A front load washer coming up a narrow basement staircase takes real effort, but we do not charge per step or per flight. One flat $50 fee covers the entire job, whether that is one appliance up one flight or a full kitchen suite down two.

How to get your appliance ready for pickup

• Empty and defrost refrigerators or freezers at least a few hours ahead so no water leaks during transport
• Unplug electric appliances the night before, or leave gas lines shut off at the valve
• Clear a path from the appliance to the door, especially around tight basement stairwells
• Remove any items stored on top of or inside the appliance

Appliance removal cost compared to other options

Municipal bulk pickup is the cheapest option on paper, but it only works if your schedule lines up with the town calendar and your appliance is already curbside. Most homeowners replacing an appliance need it gone the same week, often the same day.

Why flat per item pricing works better than truck volume estimates

Truck volume pricing asks you to guess how much space your items take up in the back of a trailer, then charges based on that guess. A single refrigerator and a stack of boxes look nothing alike but can get quoted the same way. Flat per item pricing removes the guessing. You know the price for your washer or your stove before the truck ever pulls up.
