We carry the dead fridge down the stairs, handle the Freon chain correctly, and scrap the metal — you watch from a safe distance.
Here’s what the appliance aisle doesn’t mention: getting the new machine delivered is the easy half. The old one — 250 pounds of dead refrigerator, currently located at the bottom of a staircase engineered in 1962 — is yours to solve. And in Toms River, the official curbside route comes with homework: metal items need a call-ahead to the township, and anything with Freon in it needs the refrigerant professionally removed and tagged before the curb crew will touch it.
Or: one call, and our crew carries it out of the basement, the whole compliance chain gets handled downstream, and the metal ends up recycled. That’s the service.
Working or dead, upstairs or down, inside or out back — condition and location change nothing except our route plan. Your part is preparation: empty the unit, defrost the fridge overnight, and have water and gas lines professionally disconnected before we arrive.
Appliance removal is a technique job disguised as a strength job. Our crews bring appliance dollies, straps, and the accumulated wisdom of a hundred tight stairways: doors come off hinges when an inch matters, floor protection goes down along the route, and the machine gets walked out under control — not dragged, not “we’ll buff that out,” not dropped the last three steps. Raised beach houses with living space over garages, split-levels with half-flights, basements with bilco doors: all standard terrain.
Refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, and dehumidifiers contain refrigerant, and federal law requires certified recovery before any of them get scrapped. That’s why Toms River’s curbside program makes you handle Freon removal — with a service company’s sticker to prove it — before pickup. When we haul the unit instead, it moves through a recycling chain where certified recovery happens as part of the process. Nothing vents to the sky, nothing needs arranging on your end, and the paperwork exists. As properly registered, insured haulers, we keep every link of that chain legitimate.
If you’re going to feel great about any junk leaving your house, make it an appliance. By weight, a washer or fridge is mostly steel, threaded with copper wire and aluminum — raw material, not trash. Our appliance loads go to scrap-metal recycling rather than a landfill, which is better for Ocean County and keeps disposal fees (and therefore your price) down. The dead machine in your basement is basically an ore deposit with a bad attitude. We know people who buy ore.
Single appliances are among the least expensive pickups we do — a minimum-tier job in most cases — and each additional unit on the same visit adds only its slice of truck space. The free estimate takes a text message; the firm price gets confirmed at your door before we lift; and the number you approve is the number you pay. Delivery-day timing, landlord turnovers, and multi-unit sweeps are all easy asks.
When the appliance dies — or the new one’s already on the truck heading your way — request your free estimate. We’ll take it from wherever it sits, and the only thing left behind will be the clean rectangle where it used to be.

It's real: Toms River's curbside program asks residents to call ahead for metal-item collection, and Freon-bearing appliances need refrigerant professionally removed and tagged before curb pickup. Going through us skips all of it — we take the unit as-is, and refrigerant recovery happens properly in the recycling chain.
Seriously, yes. Straps, appliance dollies, door-off-the-hinges tricks, and stair experience are the whole job. Raised shore homes and basement appliances are a weekly occurrence for us.
Please: empty it, unplug it the night before so it defrosts, and have water or gas lines professionally disconnected. From there, everything physical is ours.
Scrap recycling, nearly always — appliances are mostly steel with copper and aluminum inside, and they're among the most recyclable objects in any home. Units with refrigerant get certified recovery before scrapping, per federal law.
Yes — happens all the time. Water heaters, dehumidifiers, window ACs, and similar disconnected equipment are quick, inexpensive pickups.
Both, plus the patio heater if it's next. Outdoor appliances at the shore live short lives; hauling their remains is a local specialty.
Much better. Volume pricing means the second and third units add far less than the first, since the truck's already there. Bundle the fridge, the washer, and the garage freezer in one visit.
Same-day or next-day for most single-appliance pickups. Delivery-day coordination — old unit out as the new one lands — is easy to arrange.
