Washing machine removal in Albuquerque
We walk the washer out of the closet, laundry room or basement and haul it away. Shut off the faucets and get the water out, and it is a quick job.

Water is the part that catches people
A washer still holds water in its hoses and sump after the cycle ends. Maytag's moving steps for top-loaders start with shutting off the faucets, disconnecting and draining the inlet hoses, then draining the rest into a pan or bucket before unplugging (Maytag). Your model's manual may add steps.
If it quit with a full drum, tell us. We need to know before the crew tries to tilt it. Our washer guide has the checklist.

Tight laundry closets
Laundry closets tend to fit the machine closely, with bifold doors and a few inches on either side. Fold the doors back or take them off, and measure the narrowest door between the washer and the street. Measure the washer too. Full-size units run about 27 inches wide.
Free options
The City's large item pickup takes washing machines at the curb for its residential customers, empty. The ReStore takes resaleable washers and has free pickup for large items if you email photos first. A washer that works may have a second life, so that is worth trying before you pay anybody.

Questions about washing machine removal
Do I need to disconnect the hoses myself?
Shut off the faucets first. If you are not comfortable with the rest, tell us when you call.
My washer is full of water. Can you still take it?
Tell us first. We would rather plan for that than find out when it is on the dolly.
Can you take the washer and dryer together?
Yes. Most people want both gone at once. It is two appliances on one trip.
Often leaves on the same trip
