refrigerator removal
milwaukee.
Wisconsin bans refrigerators and freezers from landfills because of the refrigerant, which is why the one in your Milwaukee basement has been there since the Brewers were in the American League. The crew wheels it up the stairs, gets the refrigerant recovered by a certified facility, and puts the steel back into the recycling stream. Chest freezers with a forgotten deer season inside are handled with bags, gloves and no commentary.

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
Before the crew arrives.
Unplug it the day before and leave the door propped.
Empty it. If the contents spoiled, say so and the crew comes prepared.
Measure the basement stairs. Milwaukee bungalows and duplexes have steep, narrow basement stairs with a turn.
Shut the water valve if there is an ice maker.
How it is priced.
Fridges and freezers in Milwaukee are priced per unit, with refrigerant handling built in, which makes them cost more than a dryer the same size. A garage or first-floor unit is the base; basement stairs or a long carry to the alley add a stated amount. A second unit on the same trip is discounted.
Get today's numberWhere it lands.
Every unit goes to a facility where refrigerant and compressor oil are recovered by a certified technician before shredding. Wisconsin bans these appliances from landfills and the crew does not vent lines in alleys. Working units in good shape go to a reuse partner in Milwaukee County instead.
Mission log.
What Milwaukee asks before booking, answered by the crew that shows up.
(414) 206-1796Q 01Can you get a chest freezer up a steep Milwaukee basement stair?
Yes. Strapped to a stair dolly and tipped on end for the turn. Send a photo of the stairs so the crew brings the right gear.
Q 02The freezer died with venison in it. What happens?
Let the dispatcher know when you call. They bag the contents, tape the lid, carry it out sealed, and charge a cleanup fee that is worth it.
Q 03Is it legal to put a fridge in a Milwaukee dumpster?
No. Wisconsin bans appliances with refrigerant from landfills. That is why the crew routes them to a certified facility.
Q 04Working fridge cheaper?
Same price, different destination: a working unit is offered to a reuse partner first.
Q 05Can you take two fridges on one trip from a Wauwatosa house?
Yes, and that is the cheaper way to do it. Each unit has its own price and the second one is discounted because the truck is already in your driveway.
Q 06Built-in or counter-depth units?
Yes, once pulled from the cabinetry. The crew does not disconnect hardwired power or plumbing.
Q 07Can you pick up a fridge the same day in West Allis or Greenfield?
Most days, with a morning call. Fridge pickups are fast stops and the south side is on the daily route.
Q 08Dorm fridges near Marquette and UWM?
Yes. May is dorm fridge month and they are priced as small items.
Point at it. The Milwaukee crew does the lifting.
Tell us what is going, where it sits and when. The crew calls back with a window and a ballpark, and the exact price gets agreed at the alley or the curb.
