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.
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.
"Dead fridge down three flights of a Mission Victorian. They disconnected it, carried it down, recycled it. Flat price."
"Old washer and a spare garage freezer in the Outer Richmond. Easy load, fair flat price, done in a half hour."
"Water heater swap left the old tank in the way. Same-day pickup, handled the stairs, gone."
