Appliance Removal.
The dead fridge in the garage, the washer that finally quit, the AC unit the installers left on the side of the house. We take the doors off if we have to, get it out without scarring your floors, and make sure the metal gets recycled instead of buried.
What appliance removal includes
- Refrigerators, freezers & ice makers
- Washers, dryers & dishwashers
- Stoves, ovens, ranges & microwaves
- Water heaters & AC condensers
- Disconnect from water and power lines
- Doors removed on site for safety
- Metal separated for recycling
How appliance removal works here
Appliances are awkward more than they are heavy. A side-by-side fridge won't clear a standard interior door without the doors coming off, and a water heater in a closet has to come out at an angle. We plan the path before anything moves.
Anything with a compressor — fridges, freezers, window and wall AC units, dehumidifiers — holds refrigerant, and federal rules say that has to be recovered by a certified tech before the metal gets scrapped. We route those units so it's handled properly rather than vented in a yard.
Send a photo of the unit and the doorway it has to clear. That's usually enough to price it over the phone.
Before you call us
Check the free option first
Port St. Lucie curbside bulk
If you're a City of Port St. Lucie collection customer, bulk trash runs once a month and appliances are on the accepted list — refrigerators, stoves, washers, the lot.
The catch is the limit: two cubic yards per month. The city measures one cubic yard as roughly a front-load washing machine or a standard oven, so that allowance is about two appliances and nothing else.
Can't wait for your collection day? You can schedule an extra pickup through 1PSL at (772) 871-1775 for $18.50 per cubic yard.
When it's worth calling us instead
You've got more than two appliances, or appliances plus everything else that came out of the garage.
It's in a second-floor condo, a utility closet, or behind a water heater strap — somewhere it isn't going to walk itself to the curb.
You're a landlord or property manager on a turnover clock and can't wait three weeks for a collection day.
We'd rather tell you about the free option and get the calls where hauling actually earns its price.
Local notes
Two things worth knowing down here
Salt air on the island
AC condensers and outdoor units on Hutchinson Island and the beach side of Jensen Beach corrode from the outside in. Units that look fine can be shells — which usually makes removal faster, not slower.
Same story for garage fridges anywhere near the water. The cabinet rusts through at the base long before the compressor gives up.
Where it ends up
Appliances are mostly steel, and steel is worth recovering. What we haul goes to the St. Lucie County Solid Waste Baling & Recycling Facility on Glades Cut-Off Road in Fort Pierce, where metal gets pulled for recycling.
The scale house runs Monday to Friday 7am to 5pm and Saturday 8am to 1pm. Closed Sunday — which is why we'd rather load your job early in the day than late on a Saturday.
Pricing
Appliance removal pricing
Your price is based on how much space your junk takes up in the truck — measured on site, agreed before we lift a thing. For scale, Wetland Junk Removal counts a cubic yard as about one front-load washer — so a full truck is roughly fifteen of them.

FAQ
Appliance removal questions
Do you disconnect the washer or fridge, or do I?
We handle the basics — unplugging, pulling a washer’s water lines, unhooking an ice-maker line. What we will not touch is gas. A gas dryer or gas range needs a licensed pro to disconnect and cap the line before we arrive. That is a hard line and it is there for your safety, not our convenience.
Can you get it out of an upstairs laundry room?
Yes, and it does not cost extra. Stairs, tight hallways and second-floor laundry rooms are normal — the price is set by how much space the appliance takes in the truck, not by how hard it was to get there. Mention the layout when you send photos so we bring the right number of hands.
Is there a fee for fridges and freezers?
Not a separate one. A single appliance starts at $150 like any single item, and multiple appliances go on load pricing, which works out cheaper per unit. Sealed refrigerant units are handled properly at the county facility rather than being cracked open on site.
Where does the old metal actually go?
Appliances are mostly steel, so they go to recycling rather than being buried. What we haul heads to the county facility, which has materials recovery on site. If a machine still runs and someone can use it, it is worth telling us before we load it — working appliances are better donated than shredded.
