Freezer Removal in Charlottesville
Chest freezers and uprights from garages, basements, and barns — hauled out and recycled the right way.
Chest freezers are a staple of Charlottesville basements and western Albemarle garages — until they die, get replaced, or finally get emptied after years as a catch-all. They're heavier than they look, often wedged behind doors or down stairs, and they contain refrigerant that can't go in the trash.
Crews empty residual frost if needed, dolly upright and chest units out, and take them to freon-recovery recyclers. Same process as refrigerators — different shape, same rules.

Freezer Removal FAQs
Do freezers need freon recovery too?
Yes. Chest and upright freezers are treated like refrigerators under EPA rules. Proper recycling facilities reclaim the refrigerant before the metal is processed.
Can you take a freezer full of old food?
Empty it first if possible — spoiled food is a biohazard and most crews won't haul a full freezer. Defrost and toss the contents, then book the pickup.
What about a freezer in a barn or shed?
Common on Albemarle farms and larger lots. Note the path to the driveway — mud, gravel, and steps affect how the crew approaches the job.
