What the Work Involves
We check that the appliance is unplugged and that water lines are shut off and disconnected. A water heater usually still has water in it, so we drain it first. Then we strap it to the hand truck and bring it up the stairs or out the door. Most appliances go to metal recycling. Refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioners have refrigerant that has to be handled before the metal is scrapped.

Signs You Need This

Why the City Pickup Needs a Tag
Clarksburg’s spring and fall cleanups won’t take a refrigerator, freezer, or air conditioner unless it’s tagged to show the refrigerant was professionally removed. Most people don’t have that done, so the unit sits in the garage until the next cleanup and then gets left again.
When we haul an appliance with refrigerant, that step is part of our job. You don’t need to arrange anything first.
Basement Water Heaters and Freezers
Water heaters and chest freezers are the most common basement pickups, and they’re usually wedged into a corner at the bottom of a narrow stair. We drain the water heater, clear the path, and bring it up one step at a time with the hand truck strapped tight.
If a gas line is involved, tell us. A gas appliance should be shut off and capped by whoever installed the new one before we move the old one.
