Refrigerator Removal in Charlottesville
That dead fridge isn't going in your car. Local crews dolly it out, reclaim the freon properly, and recycle the steel.
Old refrigerators are the classic Charlottesville headache: too heavy for one person, too big for most hatchbacks, and illegal to dump with regular trash because of the refrigerant. The City and Albemarle both expect proper freon recovery — you can't just leave a fridge on the curb and hope.
Local crews disconnect water lines on ice-maker models when needed, protect floors and door frames, and haul the unit to a recycler equipped to reclaim refrigerant. Same day or same week is typical for single-fridge jobs.

Refrigerator Removal FAQs
Do you take refrigerators with freon still in them?
Yes. That's exactly why a pickup crew is safer than DIY curb dumping — freon must be reclaimed under EPA Section 608 rules. Crews take units to facilities set up for that.
Can you get a fridge out of a basement or upstairs kitchen?
Yes. Dollies, straps, and two-person teams handle stairs every day. Mention the access route when you quote so the price accounts for it.
Can I take a fridge to Ivy myself?
The Ivy Material Utilization Center accepts appliances for a fee, but you still have to load and haul a 200–300 lb unit. If you don't have a truck and a helper, a crew is usually worth it.
