Appliance Removal in Boise
Honest version first: in Boise, getting rid of an appliance is often free — and we'll show you those routes before we pitch ours. Then, when it's a dead fridge in a basement and the free route means waiting, that's us: (208) 845-3223.
Free routes first
Every free way to get rid of an appliance in Boise
-
Curb It large-item pickup
The City of Boise's program collects large appliances at the curb — refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers, water heaters, AC units and more. City trash customers get six free large-item collections per calendar year; call Republic Services at (208) 345-1266 to schedule. Units must be empty, pickups are by request, and refrigerant is handled after collection. Slow, but free.
-
Scrappers, if it's metal and at the curb
A free listing on Marketplace with the word "scrap" in it moves washers, dryers, and water heaters from Boise driveways fast — metal recyclers make their living on them. Works best for units you can get outside yourself.
-
Donate or sell working units
A working fridge or washer is worth real money on Marketplace, and donation stores often take working appliances — call the store first, each sets its own list.
When haul-away earns its fee
The three cases where you call us instead
- It's dead. Scrappers pass on fridges, donation stores can't take broken units, and the free routes assume the thing has value. Dead units are our specialty.
- It's downstairs. Every free option starts with "get it to the curb." A 250-pound fridge up a basement staircase is precisely the job a two-person, background-checked crew exists for.
- It's today. Scheduled pickups take days to weeks. Same-day and next-day removal means the new appliance isn't stacked in the kitchen waiting for the old one to leave.
About the refrigerant surcharge: fridges, freezers, and AC units contain refrigerant, which disposal facilities must handle under EPA rules — the Ada County Landfill charges $25 per refrigerated unit for it. That's a facility fact, not a hauler upsell, and it's why refrigerated units price a notch above a same-size washer anywhere you take them.

Questions
Appliance questions
What's the cheapest way to get rid of an appliance in Boise?
Often free. Boise's Curb It program collects large appliances — fridge, freezer, dishwasher, water heater and more — at the curb, six free large-item pickups per calendar year, scheduled through Republic Services at (208) 345-1266. Working units also move fast as donations or free Marketplace listings.
Do you take appliances that don't work?
Yes — dead is fine. Broken fridges, rusted-out washers, the water heater that flooded the garage. Condition doesn't matter; weight and stairs are our job.
Why do fridges and freezers cost more to get rid of?
Refrigerant. Fridges, freezers, and AC units contain it, and disposal facilities must handle it under EPA rules — the Ada County Landfill, for example, charges $25 per refrigerated unit. That facility surcharge follows the appliance whoever hauls it.
Do you take water heaters?
Yes — one of our most common single items. Have the water and power or gas disconnected before pickup; for gas units, have the line capped by someone qualified first.
Does the appliance need to be empty and unplugged?
Please — empty the fridge, unplug the unit, and disconnect water lines before the crew arrives. It keeps the carry clean and your floors dry. Everything after that, including the dolly work, is ours.
You bought the new one. We'll deal with the old one.
