The Junkiez provides same-day appliance removal in San Diego. 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

San Diego’s older neighbourhoods — North Park, Normal Heights, Golden Hill, Mission Hills — are full of 1910s to 1940s Craftsman and Spanish bungalows with detached garages down long shared driveways and, unusually for Southern California, basements. Those produce genuinely deep estate clear-outs. The beach communities are a different market entirely, dominated by rental turnover and garages full of surf and dive gear.

Canyon-adjacent properties across the city — and San Diego has a lot of them — often mean a long carry from house to street. Beach neighbourhood parking in Ocean Beach and Pacific Beach is difficult in summer, so weekday mornings are much faster. Miramar Landfill and the city’s greenery and recycling centre serve most of the city, with green waste kept as a separate composting load.

### 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 San Diego

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 San Diego surcharge, and stairs, long carries and disassembly are all included.

We cover all of San Diego, including North Park, Hillcrest, Ocean Beach, Pacific Beach, Point Loma and Normal Heights.

## 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.
