Appliance Removal in Los Angeles County
Refrigerators, washers, dryers, stoves and water heaters removed and routed to certified appliance recyclers.
The Junkiez provides same-day appliance removal in Los Angeles County. Refrigerators, washers, dryers, stoves and water heaters removed and routed to certified appliance recyclers.
Appliances are heavy, awkward and legally fiddly. A full-size refrigerator runs 250–350 pounds, water heaters hold water you do not want on your floor, and anything with a compressor contains refrigerant that is illegal to vent to atmosphere. We handle the lift, the doorway, and the paperwork side of getting it recycled properly.
Appliances in Los Angeles County
Los Angeles County is 88 cities and roughly 4,000 square miles, and hauling here is really a set of separate problems that happen to share a county line. The Westside is dense rent-controlled apartment stock with no parking. The Valley is post-war single-family homes with two-car garages that have not held a car since the nineties. The South Bay is beach cities with walk streets and alleys. The San Gabriel Valley is century-old housing with detached garages and deep lots. We run crews who know which one they are walking into.
Most cities in the county offer residents some form of free bulky-item collection, and we will tell you when that is the better option for you. Where it does not work — a deadline, an item that has to come down two flights, a landlord who needs the unit cleared this week — we are same-day. Loads go to certified transfer, materials recovery and composting facilities, and construction debris goes to the certified processors the City of Los Angeles requires for permit sign-off.
What we take
- Refrigerators, freezers and wine coolers
- Washing machines and clothes dryers

- Air conditioners, window units and mini-splits
- Microwaves, trash compactors and range hoods
- Commercial kitchen equipment
Refrigerant is the regulated part
Fridges, freezers and air conditioners contain refrigerant that the EPA requires be recovered by a certified technician before the unit is scrapped. We do not vent it and we do not hand units to scrappers who will. Everything with a sealed system goes to a recycler that does certified refrigerant recovery, which is also why we will not simply leave your old fridge at the kerb.
