That Old Appliance Has Been Sitting There Long Enough
You know the one. The refrigerator that died and got pushed to the garage. The washer that gave out and is now just taking up space in the laundry room. The chest freezer from the previous owner that you have been stepping around since you moved in.
Appliance removal in Savannah and Springfield, GA is one of those tasks that sounds simple but turns out not to be. The items are heavy, often awkward to move, and most curbside pickup programs either do not take them or only pick them up on a specific schedule. Meanwhile, the appliance just sits there.
We handle appliance removal throughout Effingham County and the greater Savannah metro area — from single items to full kitchen cleanouts. Here is everything you need to know.
Why Appliance Disposal Is More Complicated Than Regular Junk Removal
Most household junk is straightforward. You bag it, it goes in the truck. Appliances are different for several reasons.
Weight and size. A standard refrigerator weighs between 200 and 400 pounds. A chest freezer can hit 300 pounds. Moving these out of a house — especially from a laundry room, second floor, or tight kitchen — requires the right equipment and at least two people who know what they are doing. Without a proper dolly and technique, you are looking at a back injury, damaged flooring, or a doorframe that did not survive the move.
Refrigerant regulations. Refrigerators, freezers, window AC units, and dehumidifiers contain refrigerant — typically R-134a or older Freon compounds — that is regulated under Section 608 of the Clean Air Act. These items cannot simply be thrown in a landfill. Facilities that accept them must follow EPA guidelines for refrigerant recovery, and so do the companies hauling them.
Limited curbside options. Savannah's bulk pickup program has specific schedules and restrictions. Springfield and smaller Effingham County communities have even fewer municipal options for large appliances. If your pickup day has passed or your item does not qualify, you are left waiting or figuring out an alternative.
A professional appliance removal service solves all of this in a single call.

How the Process Works
We keep it simple and straightforward.
Step 1: Call for Upfront Pricing
Call us at (912) 429-6305 and tell us what you have and where it is located. We will give you a clear price on the phone. There are no "starting at" ranges that balloon when we arrive — you know the number before we show up.
Step 2: We Schedule Around You
We serve Springfield, Rincon, Guyton, Savannah, Pooler, Garden City, and surrounding Effingham County communities. Most appointments are available within one to three business days. If something urgent comes up, ask about same-week scheduling — we accommodate those requests whenever our schedule allows.
Step 3: We Handle the Heavy Lifting — All of It
When we arrive, we assess the appliance and plan the best removal route. We bring dollies and moving equipment. We handle the disconnect for standard hookups — dryer plugs, refrigerator water lines, freestanding dishwasher connections. For gas line disconnects, we recommend having a licensed plumber disconnect before we arrive, and we will flag that during booking if it applies to your situation.
We load everything, haul it away, and do a final check of the space before we leave.
What Does Appliance Removal Cost in Savannah and Springfield, GA?
Pricing is based on the items you have, their size, and how much labor is involved in the removal. Here is a general sense of how it breaks down in our area:
Single small appliance — A microwave, countertop unit, or small chest freezer falls on the lower end of our pricing range.
Single large appliance — A refrigerator, washer/dryer set, or water heater falls in the mid-range.
Multiple appliances — Bundling two to five items is almost always more cost-effective than scheduling separate hauls. If you have a full kitchen remodel worth of appliances going out, let us know upfront.
Appliances as part of a larger cleanout — When an appliance comes along with a garage, estate, or full property cleanout, it is priced as part of the overall job.

Why Choose a Local Company Over a National Chain?
The big national junk removal franchises operate in the Savannah market. They are fine options, but here is what is different about working with a local company:
You get the owner's reputation on the line. We live and work here. Every job is a direct reflection on us in our own community. National franchises move on — we do not.
No call center in the middle. You reach us directly. Scheduling, pricing, and any questions are handled by the people who will actually show up at your house.
Flexible scheduling. We are not coordinating a fleet of trucks across multiple metro areas. If you need something accommodated, we can usually make it work.
No built-in franchise overhead. A portion of what you pay a national chain goes to corporate. That is not the case with us.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you disconnect the appliances before hauling? For standard hookups — dryer plugs, refrigerator water lines, freestanding dishwasher connections — yes, we handle that. For gas line disconnects, we recommend having a licensed plumber disconnect prior to our arrival. We will let you know if this applies when you book.
Can you remove appliances from a second floor or tight space? Yes. We have removed appliances from second-floor laundry rooms, tight galley kitchens, and stacked washer/dryer closets. Just let us know the situation when you call so we can plan appropriately.
What happens to old appliances after you haul them? Appliances in working condition may be donated. Items with recyclable components go to the appropriate recycling facility. Items containing refrigerant are handled in compliance with EPA guidelines. We do not just send everything to the landfill.
How soon can you schedule an appliance removal in Springfield or Savannah? Typically within one to three business days. Call (912) 429-6305 and we will find a slot that works for your schedule.
