Appliance Removal in San Diego County
Refrigerators, washers, dryers, stoves and water heaters removed and routed to certified appliance recyclers.
The Junkiez provides same-day appliance removal in San Diego 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 San Diego County
San Diego County runs from the coast to genuine backcountry, and the work changes completely across that distance. Coastal neighbourhoods are tight-lot, rental-heavy and parking-constrained. The older urban core has 1920s bungalows with basements and canyon lots with long carries. Inland — Poway, Escondido, El Cajon, Santee — it is half-acre lots, outbuildings and yards that generate green waste at volumes the coast never sees. Camp Pendleton and the Navy add a constant PCS-driven move-out cycle on top.
We are used to military move-out deadlines and can work backwards from a hard report date. Canyon-adjacent properties across the county mean long carries we plan crew around. Miramar, Otay and Sycamore landfills serve the city, South Bay and East County respectively, and green waste is kept as a separate composting load under California organics rules. The inland and backcountry fringes have enforced CAL FIRE defensible-space requirements.

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.
