MISSION 07Kalamazoo, MIACTIVE
PAYLOAD / WASHERS, DRYERS, STOVES, WATER HEATERS

appliance removal
kalamazoo.

The new washer arrives, the delivery crew says they cannot take the old one because of the basement stairs, and now there are two washers in a Kalamazoo house. The crew hauls washers, dryers, dishwashers, ranges, water heaters, dehumidifiers and the furnace that quit in February, from basements and garages across the county. Steel is the easiest thing in the truck to recycle.

PAYLOAD MANIFEST

What goes on the truck.

Loads with the crew

  • Washers and dryers, front and top load
  • Stoves, ranges, cooktops and wall ovens
  • Dishwashers, once the hoses are off
  • Water heaters, tank style, drained
  • Microwaves, range hoods and window AC units
  • Furnaces and boilers that have already been disconnected

Stays behind, and why

  • Gas appliances still connected to the gas line
  • Water heaters still full of water
  • Anything still hardwired or plumbed in
PRE-FLIGHT

Before the crew arrives.

STEP 01

Disconnect everything. Gas capped, water off, hardwired circuits dead. Plug-in units just need unplugging.

STEP 02

Drain the water heater with a hose to the floor drain if you can.

STEP 03

Clear the stairway. Kalamazoo basements often have a low header at the bottom and a dryer on a dolly needs the clearance.

STEP 04

Send a list. Three or more appliances switch to load pricing, which is cheaper for you.

PRICING

How it is priced.

One appliance in Kalamazoo is a flat per-item price, and a basement adds a stated amount. At three or more, the crew prices it as a load because that comes out lower. Refrigerators and freezers carry their own price because of the refrigerant handling.

SPLASHDOWN

Where it lands.

Washers, dryers, ranges, dishwashers and water heaters go to a Kalamazoo County metal recycler where steel, copper and aluminum are recovered. Anything with a sealed refrigerant system goes through a certified handler first. Working appliances in good shape are offered to a reuse partner before they are scrapped.

QUESTIONS ABOUT APPLIANCE 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 01Will the crew disconnect a gas range in Kalamazoo?

No. Gas lines, hardwired circuits and plumbing are off limits for the crew. Have it disconnected and capped, then the crew takes it from there.

Q 02Can you haul a furnace and a central air unit?

Yes, after your HVAC contractor has disconnected both and recovered the refrigerant from the condenser. The crew carries them out and recycles the metal.

Q 03Do you pick up one dishwasher in Portage?

Yes. Single appliances are a flat price and often same day with a morning call.

Q 04My water heater still has water in it. Is that a problem?

Just heavier. Drain it if you can. If not, the crew drains it on site for a small fee rather than carrying the water up the stairs.

Q 05Is this cheaper than the store's haul-away?

Often, and the crew will take whatever else is in the garage on the same trip. Compare the per-item price.

Q 06Can you take a stackable washer-dryer from an apartment near WMU?

Yes. Give the crew the floor number and the elevator situation.

Q 07What happens to a working stove in Kalamazoo?

It goes to a reuse partner in Kalamazoo County first. Working appliances are the easiest things to rehome.

Q 08Do you cover Richland, Galesburg and the east side of the county?

Yes. Same day is likelier in Kalamazoo and Portage; next day is typical farther out.

REQUEST A PRICE

Point the Kalamazoo crew at it. Consider it handled.
