Fridges Are Tougher to Move Than Most People Realize

Anyone who’s attempted to relocate a fridge knows just how difficult it can be. Refrigerators rank among the heaviest and most awkward household appliances. 

A standard full-size model typically weighs anywhere from 200 to 400 pounds, and vintage units can weigh significantly more. Maneuvering that much weight through hallways, around tight corners, and down staircases poses serious risks.

Throughout our 37+ years of appliance hauling, we’ve witnessed plenty of mishaps. Strained backs from improper lifting. Scratched and dented walls. Scuffed or cracked flooring. Damaged door frames. Fridges wedged in narrow passages with no clear path forward or back.

Save yourself the headache and potential injury. Let our experienced crew handle it.

Environmentally Responsible Refrigerator Recycling

You can’t simply toss a refrigerator in the trash. These appliances require specialized disposal due to the materials they contain. Refrigerators rely on refrigerants containing ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) or hydro-fluorocarbons (HFCs), along with oils and foam insulation that can harm the environment if released improperly. 

The Federal Clean Air Act prohibits individuals from knowingly venting ozone-depleting compounds. Additionally, Oregon law mandates that all large household appliances be recycled.

As a Certified Environmentally Friendly Company, Mike & Dad's Hauling only uses Recycling Centers that are Certified by the EPA to remove harmful chemicals like Freon from appliances. 

We make sure your old fridge is processed correctly, protecting our environment for generations to come.

How to Prepare for Your Refrigerator Pick-Up

A few quick steps before our arrival will help everything go smoothly:

  1. Empty the contents. Clear out all food, beverages, and perishable items. Remove shelves, drawers, and bins as well.
  2. Defrost the unit. Unplug your refrigerator and allow adequate time for any ice buildup to melt. Keep towels nearby to absorb water runoff.
  3. Clear the pathway. Check the route from your fridge’s current location to the exit. Move furniture, clutter, rugs, or anything else that might obstruct our path or create a tripping hazard.

Our Refrigerator Removal Pricing

Our pricing for pick-up and recycling varies based on several factors:

  • Appliance specifications: The type, size, age, and weight of your refrigerator all play a role. Older models tend to be heavier and may require additional handling.
  • Access considerations: Are there stairs involved? Will we need to navigate narrow hallways or sharp corners? Do any doors or railings need temporary removal?
  • Disposal requirements: Certain refrigerators require extra protocols like proper Freon extraction before processing.

If your appliance is easily accessible for loading, our prices are very competitive. We always provide free quotes on refrigerator removal. Just call us, and we’ll let you know.
