appliance removal
grand rapids.
When the new washer gets delivered in Grand Rapids the old one tends to sit in the garage until spring. The crew hauls washers, dryers, dishwashers, ranges, water heaters, dehumidifiers and the furnace that got replaced in January, from wherever they ended up. Metal is the one thing in a junk load that always has somewhere good to go.

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
Before the crew arrives.
Disconnect it. Water, gas and hardwired electrical all need to be off and capped before the crew touches the appliance. Plug-in units just need unplugging.
Drain the water heater if you can; a garden hose to the floor drain and an hour does it. If not, the crew can drain it for a fee.
Clear a path. Michigan basements in Grand Rapids often have a narrow stair with a low header, and a dryer on a dolly needs every inch.
Count them up and send a list. Three appliances on one trip are priced as a small load, which beats three single-item prices.
How it is priced.
A single appliance in Grand Rapids is a flat per-item price, and a basement adds a stated amount. Once you have three or more, the crew switches to load pricing because it is cheaper for you. Refrigerators and freezers are the exception and carry their own price for refrigerant handling.
Get today's numberWhere it lands.
Appliances are the most recyclable thing the crew carries. Washers, dryers, ranges, dishwashers and water heaters go to a Kent County metal recycler where the steel, copper and aluminum are recovered. Anything with a sealed refrigerant system is routed to a certified handler first. Working units in clean shape go to donation partners.

Real answers from the Grand Rapids crew. If your question is not here, the phone works.
(616) 537-2651Q 01Will you disconnect my gas dryer in Grand Rapids?
No. The crew does not touch gas lines, hardwired circuits or plumbing. Have it disconnected and capped, which most appliance installers do for a small fee when they deliver the new unit, and the crew takes it from there.
Q 02Can you take a furnace or a central air condenser?
Yes, once an HVAC contractor has disconnected it and recovered the refrigerant from the condenser. The crew hauls the units and gets the metal recycled.
Q 03Do you pick up a single dishwasher in East Grand Rapids?
Yes. Single appliances are a flat price and usually a same-day stop if you call before noon.
Q 04My water heater is still half full. Problem?
Not a problem, just heavier. Drain it if you can with a hose to the floor drain. If you cannot, the crew drains it on site for a small fee rather than carrying sixty pounds of water up the stairs.
Q 05Is appliance removal cheaper than the store's haul-away fee?
Often, and the crew will take the other junk in the garage on the same trip, which the delivery driver will not. Ask for the per-item price and compare.
Q 06Do you take stackable washer-dryer units from apartments near Medical Mile?
Yes. Stackables come out as one piece or two depending on the model. Tell the crew the floor and whether there is an elevator.
Q 07What about a stove that still works?
It gets offered to a donation partner in Kent County first. Working appliances in decent shape are the easiest things to rehome.
Q 08Do you serve Rockford, Sparta and the north end of the county?
Yes. The crew runs the US-131 corridor regularly. Same day is more likely in the city; next day is typical farther north.
Show the Grand Rapids crew the pile. They handle the rest.
Describe what is leaving and when you want it gone. The crew calls back with a window and a rough number, then locks the real price at your curb.
