refrigerator removal
northwest indiana.
The second fridge in the garage, the chest freezer that died over the winter, the kitchen unit that got replaced on delivery day and is now sitting in the dining room. The Northwest Indiana crew takes it on a dolly, keeps it upright, and makes sure the refrigerant is handled by a facility that is allowed to handle it.

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.
Empty the fridge and freezer completely and leave the doors open overnight to dry.
Unplug it and disconnect the ice maker water line, or ask the crew to cap it.
Measure the narrowest doorway on the way out and mention it on the call.
Pull the fridge a few inches from the wall if you can so the crew can get the dolly under it.
How it is priced.
One refrigerator or freezer is a flat quote. If it is going along with a garage pile or a basement load, it simply rides with the load price and you pay for the truck space instead. The crew tells you which way is cheaper on the pad.
Get today's numberWhere it lands.
Refrigerators and freezers cannot go to a transfer station with refrigerant still in the lines. The crew delivers them to a licensed appliance recycler where the refrigerant is recovered, the compressor oil is drained and the steel and copper are recycled. Working units go to donation partners first.
Mission log.
Straight answers from the Northwest Indiana crew. Anything not covered here, call and ask.
(219) 555-0147Q 01Do you take refrigerators with freon in them?
Yes. The crew does not vent anything. Units go to a licensed appliance recycler in Lake County that recovers the refrigerant before the metal is recycled.
Q 02Can you get a fridge out of my basement in Munster?
Yes. Basement fridges come up on a stair dolly with two people. Tell the crew about the stairs and the width of the door at the top.
Q 03Do I have to empty it first?
Yes. Food, ice and shelves out, and ideally a night with the door open so it is dry. The crew will not haul a unit with spoiled food in it.
Q 04Will you disconnect the water line to the ice maker?
If the shutoff valve is reachable, yes. If there is no valve, you or a plumber should cap it before the crew pulls the unit.
Q 05Is refrigerator removal priced the same as a couch?
One fridge is quoted flat. When it rides along with other junk it is priced as part of the load, whichever is cheaper for you.
Q 06Do you pick up chest freezers from garages in Hobart and Lake Station?
Yes, those are weekly stops. Chest freezers need to be empty and defrosted.
Q 07Can you take a commercial reach-in from my shop?
Yes, as long as the crew can get it out the door. Send a photo and the width of the door.
Q 08Do you remove refrigerators same day?
Often, if you call before lunch and the unit is ready to go.
Point at it. The Northwest Indiana crew takes it from there.
Tell us what is going and when. The crew calls back with a window and a ballpark, and the exact price gets confirmed on site.
