Getting Rid of an Old Fridge Is Harder Than You Think

If you’ve ever tried to move a fridge on your own, you already know how challenging it can be.

Refrigerators are some of the heaviest and bulkiest appliances in any home. The average full-size fridge weighs between 200 and 400 pounds, and older models can be even heavier. Moving that kind of weight through doorways, hallways, around corners, and down stairs can be downright dangerous.

We’ve seen it all in our years of fridge hauling. Homeowners strain their backs trying to lift a heavy appliance. Walls get scratched and dented. Floors get scuffed or even cracked. Doorframes take a beating. Sometimes the fridge gets stuck halfway through a tight space, leaving you wondering how it ever got in there in the first place.

Responsible Disposal & Recycling

Refrigerators require more careful disposal than ordinary household junk because of the materials inside them, so you can’t just throw them away in the trash.

Most fridges contain refrigerants like Freon, along with oils, foam insulation, and other components that can be harmful to the environment if they’re not handled properly. In fact, Oregon law requires that all large household appliances (including fridges) be recycled.

Mike & Dad's Hauling follows all applicable local regulations to make sure your old fridge is disposed of safely and properly. Whenever possible, we make sure refrigerators are recycled so that valuable materials can be recovered and harmful substances are kept out of our environment.

What to Do Before We Remove Your Fridge

To make sure your fridge hauling appointment goes as smoothly as possible, there are a few simple steps you can take ahead of time:

  1. Remove any food, drinks, and perishables from inside the fridge. Take out any removable shelves, drawers, and bins too.
  2. Unplug the fridge and give it some time to defrost. This is especially important if your freezer has a buildup of ice. As the ice melts, you’ll want to have some towels handy to clean up any water that accumulates.
  3. Take a look at the path from where your fridge currently sits to the nearest exit. Make sure the way is clear of any obstacles, furniture, or clutter that might slow us down. If there are any rugs or mats that could cause a tripping hazard, go ahead and move those out of the way too.

How Much Does Refrigerator Hauling Cost?

We don’t have a flat rate for fridge removal because a few different factors can affect pricing:

  • The type of refrigerator: some models require extra protocols like Freon removal before they can be processed.
  • The size, age, and weight: Modern fridges tend to use more lightweight materials, while older models can be surprisingly heavy and difficult to remove.
  • The layout of your home: Are there stairs involved? Do we need to navigate through narrow hallways or tight corners? Will any doors or railings need to be removed temporarily?

All of these factors help us determine a fair price.

We strive for same-day or next-day service whenever possible, and it usually is. If you need your fridge gone ASAP, just let us know when you call. We’ll do everything we can to accommodate your schedule and get there as quickly as possible.
