Appliance Removal in the Twin Cities
In Minnesota, a refrigerator, washer, or water heater can’t go in the trash or a landfill. State law requires major appliances to be recycled, with the refrigerant and other hazardous parts removed first. We carry yours up from the basement and send it to the recycler: a refrigerator is $164, a chest freezer $146.

What Minnesota Requires
No Appliances in the Trash
Minnesota bans major appliances from mixed trash and landfills. They must go to a recycler that removes the refrigerant, capacitors, and other hazardous components first. Everything we haul goes that route.
Disconnecting Before Pickup
Unplug and empty it; shut off the water to any ice maker. Gas dryers, gas ranges, and water heaters should be disconnected and drained by a licensed professional β our crews carry appliances, they don’t disconnect gas or plumbing.

Appliances count toward the twelve bulky items per cart per year; after that, each carries a fee plus tax.
Suburbs
Handled through your garbage hauler on its own terms. Ask them before you haul it up the stairs.
JunkRabbit
