Appliance removal in Albuquerque, carried out of your house
The City's free pickup stops at the curb. We start where the appliance is sitting, then haul it away.

Four things we will ask you
Knowing these before you call saves a second trip.
Gas or electric?
A gas line needs a qualified technician before anyone moves the appliance.
Refrigerant?
Leave the sealed system alone. Empty the fridge and let it thaw.
Water left inside?
Washers and water heaters need to be drained first.
What is the way out?
Stairs, tight turns and the narrowest door between it and the street.

Plain answers on refrigerant, gas lines, draining and Albuquerque's hard water, with the sources linked.
Before you call
How much does it cost?
We do not publish a price list, because it depends on the appliance, where it sits and the path out. Quotes are free.
Can you come today?
Ask when you call. We are open every day, 7 AM to 7 PM, and timing depends on the schedule.
Do I need to have it unhooked?
Empty it first. If it is connected to gas or hard-wired, tell us on the phone and we will say what has to happen before the crew comes.
Is there free appliance pickup in Albuquerque?
Yes, at the curb, for City Solid Waste residential customers (City). The table above shows where each free route stops.
