Appliance Removal in Toronto & the GTA

Dead appliances are the heaviest garbage a house produces. The old fridge humming away in the garage costing you hydro every month, the washer that flooded its last load, the stove the kitchen reno replaced — none of them fit in a car, most won't go out a door without planning, and every one of them has a right way and a wrong way to leave the house. Old appliance disposal is exactly the kind of job that sits for a year because starting it is the hard part.

Doing it properly starts before the lifting. Water-connected machines get shut off and disconnected without flooding the floor — washer valves closed and hoses drained, dishwashers unmounted from the counter and disconnected from supply and drain. Gas appliances are the hard boundary: disconnecting and capping a gas line is work for a TSSA-certified gas technician, which we arrange rather than touch. Then the carry: doors measured, fridge doors removed if the clearance demands it, appliance dolly and floor protection on the route, and the machine walked out without drama. Fridge removal ends at a depot equipped to reclaim refrigerant; metal-heavy machines go to appliance recycling, where most of their weight actually gets recovered.

For a free quote, send a photo of each appliance in place, note gas versus electric for stoves and dryers, and describe the exit route — floor, stairs, and the narrowest doorway. If a new appliance is being delivered, tell us the date; timing the washer removal to the delivery window means you're never without a machine.

• Fridge and freezer removal, with doors off where clearance requires
• Washer removal, including water shut-off and hose disconnection
• Electric dryer removal and vent disconnection
• Stove and oven removal — gas models after a TSSA-certified technician caps the line
• Dishwasher uninstallation from the cabinet, supply and drain
• Over-the-range microwave and range hood take-downs
• Appliance dolly work with floor and doorframe protection
• Routing to appliance recycling and refrigerant-handling depots
• Same-visit removal timed with your new appliance delivery
• Basement and second-floor extractions

• Gas connections — a gas stove or dryer needs a TSSA-certified gas technician to disconnect and cap the line first, which we coordinate into the visit
• Built-in versus freestanding — a dishwasher or wall oven takes real uninstallation; a freestanding washer mostly takes muscle
• Stairs and route — basement laundry extractions up narrow stairs are the slow version of this job
• Fridge size — full-size and counter-depth fridges often need their doors removed to clear standard doorways
• Shut-off valve condition — seized washer valves have to be dealt with before hoses can safely come off
• Hardwired connections — a hardwired dishwasher or wall oven needs a Licensed Electrical Contractor to disconnect, which we arrange
• Recycling destination — refrigerant-bearing appliances must go to equipped depots, which shapes the disposal routing
