Getting rid of old appliances

Getting rid of an old water heater, oven, or other appliance can be a pain. You've got several main options, and they all have benefits and drawbacks. You can load it in your own truck and take it to a dump or recycling center, contact your local trash pickup to find out if they have a large item trash day, or you can hire a junk hauling service to take it away and dispose of it.

Hauling it yourself

PROS:
  • Cheapest option
  • Can be done completely on your own schedule
CONS:
  • Must have a vehicle that can do the job
  • Can be dirty and may have unexpected costs at a disposal location
  • Requires research to find the right place to disposal location

Local trash large item pickup

PROS:
  • Trash pickup comes to you on scheduled days
  • Is often included in your usual trash collection costs
CONS
  • Could incur additional fees from your trash collector
  • Can only be done on the scheduled large item days, which may be once a month
  • Many local trash services limit the size and weight of large items

PROS:
  • Can be scheduled for any day of the week
  • Junk haulers will do the heavy lifting to remove and load the item
  • Licensed and insured junk removal companies will dispose of the item in a responsible way
CONS:
  • Hiring a third party costs more than DIY and local trash pickup (fuel costs, disposal fees, paying employees a fair wage, etc.)
​
As you can see, there is no perfect option for every old appliance disposal situation. It is important to understand the costs and challenges involved with all options. While junk removal services may seem like a premium price, with charges usually starting around $100 for large items, you also get the benefit of haulers doing the hard work, convenient scheduling, and knowing that your item is being disposed of responsibly.
