MISSION 07Kalamazoo, MIACTIVE
PAYLOAD / FRIDGES AND FREEZERS

refrigerator removal
kalamazoo.

Every Portage garage seems to have a beer fridge from the nineties that finally gave up, and every Kalamazoo basement has a chest freezer that nobody has opened since the deer season two years back. The crew wheels them out, gets the refrigerant recovered the legal way, and sends the steel to a recycler. Freezers with a surprise inside are handled with gloves, bags and a straight face.

PAYLOAD MANIFEST

What goes on the truck.

Loads with the crew

  • Kitchen refrigerators, any configuration
  • Garage and basement second fridges
  • Chest freezers and upright freezers
  • Mini fridges, wine coolers and kegerators
  • Commercial reach-ins from small shops and churches

Stays behind, and why

  • Units still full of food (empty it first, the crew will not haul rotting contents)
  • Built-in refrigerators that are still screwed into cabinetry, until the panels are released
PRE-FLIGHT

Before the crew arrives.

STEP 01

Unplug it a day ahead and prop the door so it dries out.

STEP 02

Empty it. If a freezer lost power and the contents went bad, say so and the crew comes ready with bags and a neutralizer.

STEP 03

Measure the basement stairs if that is where the unit sits. The crew needs to know whether the doors come off first.

STEP 04

Close the water valve on an ice maker fridge; the shutoff is usually behind the unit or under the sink.

PRICING

How it is priced.

Fridges and freezers in Kalamazoo are priced per unit, with refrigerant handling included, which is why they cost more than a dishwasher of the same size. Garage and ground-floor units are the base. Basement stairs or a long carry add a stated amount. A second unit on the same trip is cheaper than a second trip.

SPLASHDOWN

Where it lands.

Every unit goes to a facility where refrigerant and compressor oil are recovered by a certified technician before the cabinet is shredded for steel. Michigan requires it and the crew does not vent lines in driveways. Working units in clean condition go to a reuse partner in Kalamazoo County instead.

QUESTIONS ABOUT REFRIGERATOR REMOVAL

Mission log.

The Kalamazoo crew answers these on the phone every day. Here they are in writing.

(269) 788-1199
A PERSON ANSWERS. NOT A CALL CENTER.
Q 01Can you get a chest freezer out of a Kalamazoo basement with a turn at the bottom of the stairs?

Yes. The crew straps it to a stair dolly and tips it on end for the turn. A photo of the stairs tells them what to bring.

Q 02The freezer lost power and the meat spoiled. What now?

Say it when you call. They bag the contents, tape the lid, and take the unit out sealed. There is a cleanup fee for that and it is well earned.

Q 03Do you release the refrigerant on site?

No. It is recovered at the receiving facility by a certified handler. Venting it is illegal and the crew does not do it.

Q 04Is a working fridge cheaper to haul than a dead one?

Same price. The difference is destination: a working unit is offered to a reuse partner first.

Q 05Can you take two fridges on one trip from a Comstock house?

Yes, and that is the cheaper way. Each unit is priced on its own, with a discount on the second.

Q 06Do you remove built-in refrigerators?

Yes, once they are pulled out of the cabinetry. The crew does not disconnect hardwired electrical or plumbing.

Q 07Same day for a dead fridge in Oshtemo?

Usually, with a call before noon. Fridge pickups are fast stops.

Q 08Do you pick up dorm fridges near WMU and K College?

Yes. Late April is dorm fridge season and the crew does them by the dozen, priced as small items.
