What's included

Old Appliance Pickup and Recycling

We send enough people to move the appliance safely, roll it out with care for your floors and door frames, load it, and take it away. Most appliances are mostly metal, which can be recycled. Refrigerators, freezers, dehumidifiers and window AC units also contain refrigerant, which has to be handled by a facility that’s set up for it.

Pricing & quotes

What Appliance Removal Costs in Tacoma

Appliance removal is usually priced per unit. Fridges and freezers often cost more than other appliances because the refrigerant has to be recovered before they can be recycled. Pierce County lists facilities that charge separate fees for units with refrigerant.

What changes the price

Number of items: one piece is a small job; a few pieces on the same visit usually cost less per item.
Special handling: some items, like refrigerators, carry extra disposal or recycling fees.
Access and labor: stairs, long carries, tight hallways and disassembly add time.
Size: a side-by-side fridge or chest freezer is heavier than a compact unit.

Typical Tacoma-area market ranges

About these numbers: these are typical ranges from prices that Tacoma-area and national junk removal companies and pricing guides posted publicly, checked in October 2026. They are not Dash Junk Removal’s prices. Your quote is based on your actual items, and you’ll see it before anything is loaded.

Why Dash Junk Removal

Why Homeowners Trust Us With Heavy Appliances

A fridge can weigh a few hundred pounds. Getting it out without damaging floors, walls or yourself takes the right approach.

Appliance disposal in Tacoma and Pierce County

Tacoma’s regular garbage pickup won’t take a fridge, and drop-off sites around Pierce County each have their own rules and fees for appliances with refrigerant. Instead of calling around and renting a truck, you can have us pick it up and take it to the right place.

Recycled the right way

Most appliances are mostly steel, which recyclers accept. Units with refrigerant go to facilities that can recover it first. Working appliances in good shape may be donated if a local center accepts them.

Moved with care

We protect floors and door frames on the way out.

Recycling first

Metal and parts go to recycling when facilities accept them.

Price up front

Quoted per appliance before pickup.

Homes and rentals

Single units or a whole kitchen, for owners and landlords.
