Appliance removal in Lewiston and Auburn

Two kinds of appliances

Appliances fall into two groups. Washers, dryers, stoves, ovens and dishwashers have no refrigerant: $69 alone, free on a job. Refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners and dehumidifiers contain refrigerant that has to be handled properly: $99 alone, $35 on a job.

Price examples

• One old dryer, nothing else: $69.
• A chest freezer by itself: $99.
• A washer and dryer pair: two items without refrigerant. Send a photo and Caden will price the pair.
• A basement that fits a medium job, with a washer, a dryer and a dehumidifier: $189 plus $35, for $224.

Every job starts from the same posted price card. A single item is $64. A small job, up to about 1.5 cubic yards, is $119. A medium job, about 3 cubic yards or roughly a room, is $189. A large job, about 5 cubic yards or roughly a garage bay, is $239. An extra-large job, about 10 cubic yards, is $479, and anything past 10 cubic yards is $45 per yard.

Getting appliances ready

• Fridges and freezers: empty them and unplug a day ahead to defrost.
• Washers: shut off the water and drain the hoses if you can.
• Gas dryers and stoves: have the gas line shut off and capped by a qualified person before pickup. We do not disconnect gas.
• Dishwashers: if it is still installed, say so in your photo notes.
• Window AC units: remove them from the window if it is safe, or tell us.

Drop-off options

Lewiston residents can take refrigerators, air conditioners and dehumidifiers to the Solid Waste Facility at 420 River Road, with an EZCard covering tip fees on the first 1,000 pounds a year. Auburn residents can take white goods, including refrigerators, to Maine Waste to Energy at 110 Goldthwaite Road. Fees are set by the facility.

Basement and stairs

Old washers and chest freezers often live in basements with steep stairs. Send a photo of the stairs and the bulkhead if there is one.

How booking works

Send photos through the quote form or text them to (207) 333-1422. No card is needed to ask. Caden looks at the photos and sends your price. If it works for you, you pay from the link he sends and that confirms the slot. The price we send is the price you pay unless the pile changes. If you add things after the price goes out, the price is updated before work starts, not after.
