Why Recology won't take your fridge
Refrigerators, freezers, and ACs hold refrigerant that has to be handled to EPA and California standards, so they're not curbside trash, and Recology's couple of free bulky pickups a year won't carry a dead appliance down from a third-floor flat for you. We do the disconnection, the carry down the Victorian stairs or off the hill, and route the unit to a recycler that recovers the refrigerant and the metal. Washers, dryers, dishwashers, and water heaters are routine too.
Appliances we haul
- Kitchen — refrigerators, ranges, dishwashers, microwaves, range hoods.
- Laundry & utility — washers, dryers, water heaters (tank & tankless).
- Cooling — chest and upright freezers, window and portable ACs, dehumidifiers.
- Garage second units — the spare fridge or freezer down in the Sunset or Richmond garage.
Built for SF's stairs, hills, and garages
An appliance is heavy and unforgiving on a Victorian staircase or a steep grade. We bring the people and straps to get a fridge down four no-elevator floors in the Mission, off a Nob Hill grade, or out a reserved freight elevator with a Certificate of Insurance on file in a SoMa or Mission Bay tower — and we load from the garage where there is one. A top-floor unit costs the same as the ground floor.
Why San Francisco picks us for appliances
- We disconnect it — washer, dryer, dishwasher; a plumber cuts gas lines.
- Refrigerant & metal handled right — recycled to EPA and California standards.
- Flat photo price — no hill or per-flight surcharge.
- Buildings handled — same-day COI and freight-elevator booking for towers.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does appliance removal cost in San Francisco?
Flat, photo-quoted: refrigerator $164, large refrigerator $183, washer $133, dryer $128, dishwasher $109, water heater $131, window AC $79. $95 minimum. Disconnection, the stair-carry, and metal recycling are included — no per-flight or hill surcharge.
Do you disconnect the appliance?
Yes — we handle basic disconnection of the washer, dryer, or dishwasher; a plumber cuts any gas line. We carry it down the stairs or hill as-is, no doors-off required.
Is the refrigerant handled properly?
Yes — fridges, freezers, and ACs go to a recycler that handles the refrigerant to EPA and California standards before the metal is recovered.
Do you disconnect the appliance first?
Yes — basic disconnection of washers, dryers, dishwashers, and water heaters is included. Gas lines need a plumber's cap first; everything else the crew handles, then carries the unit out doors-on.
How do you get a fridge out of an upper flat?
Strapped to a stair dolly, one step at a time, with the door frames padded — the classic SF appliance job. A standard fridge is a flat $164, side-by-side $183, and the stairs never add a fee.
Do you recycle appliances?
Yes — white goods go to scrap-metal recycling, refrigerants are handled by the recycler per regulations, and working units in decent shape are offered to donation first.
Can you clear a whole kitchen renovation?
Yes — fridge, range, dishwasher, and the washer/dryer pair in one trip. A fridge plus a dishwasher plus an electric range runs $407 flat; send one photo set and the lot is priced before you book.
What about water heaters and window ACs?
Tank water heaters $131, tankless $90, window ACs $79, portable ACs $85 — disconnection included where it's not hard-plumbed to gas.
