Junk Master handles refrigerator removal in Commerce City from the first call to the cleanup of the work area. Our crew lifts the old fridge out of the kitchen, garage or basement, loads it on our truck and takes it away, with same-day service available. Fridge pickup is part of our appliance removal service in Commerce City, run from our home base on Joplin Street. You know the price before anyone lifts a thing.
Signs It Is Time for Refrigerator Removal in Commerce City
A refrigerator rarely retires on your schedule. Call us when any of these apply:
- The fridge no longer holds a cold temperature, even after you reset it.
- Water collects under the unit or drips from the freezer section.
- A new refrigerator is on order and the old one has to make room.
- A spare fridge in the garage or basement has sat unused for months.
- A tenant moved out and the rental needs a replacement before the next lease starts.
- A whole house or an estate is being cleared and the kitchen is part of it.
When you call, tell us the style: top-freezer, side-by-side, French-door or mini.
A full-size fridge is tall, top-heavy and hard to grip. Our crew does all the lifting, loading and hauling.
Getting Your Fridge Ready for Pickup Day
A little preparation the day before keeps the visit short:
- Empty it. Take out all food, drinks and anything in the door bins, plus any shelves or bins you want to keep.
- Unplug it about a day ahead so the freezer can defrost, and put towels down if it sits on wood or carpet.
- Shut off the ice maker water line. If your fridge has an ice maker or water dispenser, close the supply valve before pickup and mention the line when you call.
- Keep the doors closed. Tape or tie them shut so they cannot swing open during the carry.
- Clear the route. Move rugs, chairs and pet gates out of the path, and leave room for our truck near the door.
Our crew does not haul hazardous materials such as paint, chemicals, solvents, oil or gasoline.
How Our Refrigerator Removal Service Works, Step by Step
- Call or send a photo. Call (720) 999-0466 and tell us the fridge's size and where it sits. A photo helps.
- Get your price. We confirm the price by phone before the crew heads out, and an on-site estimate is free with no obligation.
- We plan the carry. The crew checks the route, the doorways and any stairs, and works with care around your floors and walls.
- We lift it from wherever it is. Kitchen, basement, upstairs bedroom, garage or back patio: loading from anywhere on the property is part of the price.
- We load it and clean up. The fridge goes on the truck and we clean the work area before we leave.
What Refrigerator Removal Costs in Commerce City
We price by load size: you pay for the share of our truck your items fill. The truck holds 15 cubic yards (12 feet long, 7 feet wide and 5 feet high), and one refrigerator takes up only a small part of it, so a single fridge sits toward the low end of our scale.
The scale starts with an $85 minimum charge. A 1/8 load is $150, a 1/4 load is $250, and prices step up from there to $550 for a full truck.
Every price is all-inclusive. It covers labor, loading from anywhere on the property, disposal fees and cleanup of the work area. The only extra we pass along is a local government recycling fee on computers and TVs, and it does not apply to a refrigerator.
Because the price follows truck space, adding other items to the same visit gets more out of what you pay. An old chest freezer can ride along through our freezer removal service, and so can a laundry pair through our washer and dryer removal. We accept major credit and debit cards or cash.
Where the Fridge and Its Refrigerant End Up
A refrigerator is not ordinary household trash because of what is sealed inside its cooling system. The Clean Air Act prohibits intentionally venting or otherwise knowingly releasing refrigerant.
The EPA's safe disposal requirements list household refrigerators and freezers among equipment that typically enters the waste stream with its refrigerant still inside. The final person in the disposal chain, such as a scrap metal recycler, is responsible for making sure the refrigerant is recovered before final disposal.
For you, the practical side is simple. Once your fridge is on our truck, that part is our job. We sort every load and put recycling first.

Frequently Asked Questions About Refrigerator Removal in Commerce City, CO
How Long Does the Crew Need to Take a Fridge Out of a Commerce City House?
How long the crew needs to take a fridge out of a Commerce City house depends mostly on the route from the fridge to the truck. A unit in a ground floor kitchen with a clear path to the door moves out quickly. Basement stairs, tight turns or a freezer that still needs defrosting add time, so tell us about the route when you call and we can plan for it.
Can a Crew Carry a Refrigerator Out of a Commerce City Basement or Second Floor?
Yes, our crew carries refrigerators out of Commerce City basements, second floors, garages and back rooms. Loading from anywhere on the property is already part of our all-inclusive price. When you call, mention the stairs, any tight landings and the narrowest doorway on the route. A photo of the fridge and the stairway helps the crew plan.
Is It Possible to Get a Fridge Picked Up the Same Day in Commerce City?
Same-day fridge pickup in Commerce City is available, depending on how the schedule looks that day, and calling early gives you the best chance. We are open seven days a week: 8 to 6 on weekdays, 8 to 5 on Saturday and 9 to 5 on Sunday. If today is already full, we give you the next opening and confirm your price before the crew comes.
Does Someone Have to Be Home When the Crew Takes Away My Fridge in Commerce City?
No one has to be home when our crew takes away your fridge in Commerce City, as long as the crew can get to it and reach you by phone. When you book, tell us how the crew will get in and where the fridge sits. We confirm the price with you by phone first, so you know the cost before the work starts.
Can a Landlord Book Fridge Removal for a Rental Unit Turnover in Commerce City?
Landlords and property managers can book fridge removal for a rental turnover in Commerce City with one phone call. The crew does not need you on site if they can get into the unit and reach you by phone. Adding anything else the tenant left behind to the same truck visit makes better use of the space you pay for.
How Should I Time Fridge Removal Around My New Refrigerator Delivery in Commerce City?
Time fridge removal in Commerce City so the old unit leaves before your new refrigerator is delivered, which keeps the spot clear and dry for the new one. Empty and unplug the old fridge the day before pickup so the freezer has time to defrost. Then call (720) 999-0466, give us your delivery date and we will book a pickup time that fits.
