Junk Master's appliance removal Commerce City service covers refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, stoves, dishwashers and water heaters. Our crew carries each one out and hauls it away in the same visit. You show us the appliance and we do the lifting, from a basement laundry room in Rose Hill to a garage in Reunion.
Appliance work is one part of the junk removal service we run in Commerce City, and we hold Solid Waste Hauler Business Licenses for Commerce City and the City of Denver. Same-day service is available. Call (720) 999-0466 or send us a photo of the appliance and where it sits, and we will give you a price.
How Appliance Removal Works in Commerce City
Getting a full size fridge out the door takes muscle. What happens after it leaves takes more care, because appliances come with rules that ordinary junk does not.
Refrigerant is the big one. Under federal rules, the final disposer in the chain, such as a scrap recycler, is responsible for recovering the refrigerant before the appliance is destroyed, and refrigerators, freezers and window air conditioners usually arrive there with their charge still inside. If someone earlier in the chain recovers it, the recycler needs a signed statement with that person's name, address and the recovery date. The EPA does not accept a sticker on the unit as proof. The EPA's safe disposal requirements for refrigerated appliances spell out the full rule.
Hauling is regulated too. Next door in Denver, anyone collecting junk and bulky materials must hold a Waste Hauler License, and hauling without one can bring fines of up to $999. Our licenses cover both cities, so a job in Commerce City or across the line in Denver is handled the same way.
The housing mix adds its own work. Commerce City was incorporated in 1952, with neighborhoods such as Rose Hill and southern Adams City in the original town, and it counted 19,860 housing units in 2020. That range runs from older homes with narrow stairways to newer builds with laundry rooms on the second floor.
Refrigerator and Freezer Removal for Kitchens and Garages
Fridges and freezers are the appliances where the refrigerant rules apply. Our refrigerator removal service in Commerce City covers kitchen units, side by side models and the spare fridge in the garage. Our freezer removal in Commerce City takes chest and upright freezers, which tend to be heavier and more awkward to carry than they look.
A dead fridge left in a garage is also a safety risk. The Consumer Product Safety Commission tells owners of old refrigerators to take off the doors, or to chain and padlock the unit closed if the doors will not come off. Refrigerators sold after October 30, 1958 must open from the inside, but older units may not. Getting the fridge out of the garage removes that risk.
Garage units also sit through real temperature swings here. Commerce City averages highs near 88 F in July and lows near 22 F in January. When a garage freezer quits, clear out the food, unplug it and call us. We send units that hold refrigerant to recycling, where the refrigerant is recovered as the federal rules require.
Washer and Dryer Removal From Basements and Laundry Rooms
Laundry machines tend to sit in the hardest spots in the house to reach: basements, closets off a hallway, or a tight room behind the garage. Our washer and dryer removal in Commerce City handles single machines, matched pairs and stacked units, and the crew carries them up the stairs and out to the truck.
The older parts of town, such as Adams City and Derby (part of which the city annexed in 1962), have plenty of homes where the laundry is down a set of basement steps. Some newer homes put it on the second floor, which means a carry down instead. Our crew handles the carry in both cases.
Before we arrive, turn off the water valves behind the washer if you can, and have the hoses ready to come off. If you are putting in a new gas dryer, the city lists new and replacement gas appliances among the work that needs a permit, so plan that hookup with whoever installs the new machine. We take care of getting the old pair out.
A washer and a dryer are two machines and take up two spots in the truck, so they are priced by the space they fill, like everything else we haul.
Stove and Dishwasher Removal in Commerce City Kitchens
Kitchen updates usually mean two appliances leave at once. Our stove removal in Commerce City handles gas and electric stoves and ranges. Our dishwasher removal in Commerce City covers built-in units that slide out from under the counter, where care around the cabinet face and the floor matters.
Gas ranges come with a rule worth knowing before the new one shows up. Commerce City's Building Safety Division lists new and replacement gas appliances, and new electric appliances, among the work that requires a permit, and it notes that its list is not complete. You can check the city's list of work that needs a building permit or call the division at 303-289-3790.
Once the old range and dishwasher are free of their connections, we carry them out through the house without you lifting a thing. If the remodel leaves other junk behind, such as an old microwave or boxes of packing, it can ride along in the same load.
Water Heater Removal Timed Around the New Install
A water heater often fails with little warning, and the new one goes in quickly, so the old tank needs to leave on a tight schedule. Our water heater removal in Commerce City is set up for that. With same-day service available, the old unit can leave the same day the replacement goes in, instead of sitting rusty in the garage for a week.
Commerce City lists replacing a water heater among the smaller home upgrades that may need a building permit, and it gives the Building Safety Division at 303-289-3790 as the number to call. Whoever installs the new heater should make that call.
Drain the tank before it is moved, since a full one is far heavier and can spill on the way out. Once it is drained and disconnected, our crew handles the carry from the basement, closet or garage to the truck.
Appliance Removal Pricing in Commerce City
We price appliance removal by the space your items take up in our 15 cubic yard truck. The price covers labor, loading from anywhere on your property, dump fees and cleanup of the work area.
| Load size | Price |
|---|---|
| Minimum charge | $85 |
| 1/8 load | $150 |
| 1/4 load | $250 |
| 1/3 load | $300 |
| 1/2 load | $350 |
| 2/3 load | $400 |

| Full load | $550 |
Estimates are free, on site and carry no obligation. A photo of the appliance helps us size the job, and we confirm the price with you by phone before the crew starts. Several appliances removed in one visit share the same load, so you pay once for the space they fill together. We take major credit and debit cards or cash.

Learn MoreFrequently Asked Questions About Appliance Removal in Commerce City, CO
Who takes the refrigerant out of a fridge after it leaves a Commerce City home?
The refrigerant in a fridge leaving a Commerce City home is recovered by the final disposer, such as a scrap recycler, under federal rules. Most refrigerators and freezers reach that point with the charge still inside. If anyone recovers it earlier, a signed statement is required, and a sticker on the unit does not count as proof. We send refrigerant appliances to recycling so that step happens.
Can a refrigerator go out with the regular trash in Commerce City, CO?
A refrigerator should not go out with the regular trash in Commerce City, CO. Federal rules require the refrigerant to be recovered before the unit is scrapped, so the fridge needs to reach a recycler. Our crew carries the fridge out of your home and sends it to recycling, all for one load price.
Does Commerce City require a permit when a water heater is replaced?
Replacing a water heater in Commerce City may need a building permit. The city lists it among smaller home upgrades and gives the Building Safety Division at 303-289-3790 as the number to call. Whoever installs the new heater should make that call. We take care of the old tank, and same-day service is available so it can leave the day the new one goes in.
What license should an appliance hauler hold in Commerce City, CO?
An appliance hauler working in Commerce City, CO should be able to show licensing for the cities it serves. Junk Master holds Solid Waste Hauler Business Licenses for Commerce City and the City of Denver, and we are fully insured. Denver requires a Waste Hauler License for anyone collecting junk and bulky materials, with fines of up to $999 for hauling without one.
Should the doors come off an old fridge waiting for pickup in Commerce City?
Taking the doors off an old fridge waiting for pickup in Commerce City is the safe move, especially in a garage children can reach. The Consumer Product Safety Commission advises removing the doors, or chaining and padlocking the unit shut. Units sold before late 1958 may have no inside release. The quickest fix is to book us and have the fridge gone.
