The Junkiez provides same-day appliance removal in Santa Monica. 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 Santa Monica

Santa Monica runs on rent-controlled apartment stock built between the 1920s and the 1970s, and that shapes almost every job here. Units turn over, tenants leave furniture behind, and buildings have narrow stairwells, no service elevator, and alley access that is frequently blocked by the neighbouring building’s bins. Owners and property managers are our most common callers.

Santa Monica runs its own Resource Recovery and Recycling operation rather than contracting out, and street parking enforcement here is genuinely strict — we plan for permit zones and metered loading rather than gambling on a citation. For Ocean Park and the streets south of Pico, alley access is usually faster than the street frontage, and we will ask which you have.

### 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 Santa Monica

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 Santa Monica surcharge, and stairs, long carries and disassembly are all included.

We cover all of Santa Monica, including Ocean Park, Sunset Park, Wilshire-Montana, Mid-City, North of Montana and Pico District.

## 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.
