The Junkiez provides same-day appliance removal in Orange 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 Orange County

Orange County is the most HOA-governed market we work in, and that changes the job in practical ways. A large share of communities here prohibit items being staged at the kerb, restrict working hours, and require contractors to be cleared at a gate before arrival. The upside is that access, once you are in, is generally excellent — wide streets, long driveways, three-car garages, and room to work.

Give us the community and gate name when you book and we will get on the list ahead of time rather than losing an hour at a guardhouse. County facilities — Frank R. Bowerman in Irvine, Olinda Alpha in Brea, Prima Deshecha in San Juan Capistrano — cover the north, centre and south of the county, and green waste goes to composting as a separate load. The inland canyon fringes have enforced fire-season brush clearance requirements.

### What we take

- Refrigerators, freezers and wine coolers

- Washing machines and clothes dryers

- Stoves, ovens, ranges and cooktops

- Dishwashers and garbage disposals

- Water heaters — tank and tankless

- 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.

### Getting a price in Orange County

We quote free on site, before anything is loaded, and the number does not change afterwards. Our rates are the same everywhere we work — there is no Orange County surcharge, and stairs, long carries and disassembly are all included.

## Frequently asked questions

**Will you disconnect the appliance?**  
We disconnect standard plug-in units and washer water lines. Gas and hardwired connections need a licensed trade first.

**Do you take appliances that still work?**  
Yes — working units are tested and donated where possible. Check your utility's recycling rebate first, though; you may get paid instead.

**Can you get a fridge down a narrow staircase?**  
Yes. We bring appliance dollies and stair-climbing straps, and there is no stair fee.
