Appliance Removal in Modesto
Curbside bulky-item pickup in Modesto is limited to two appointments a year per household, so garage, move-out and estate accumulation routinely outruns the city calendar — especially in the older blocks around the College Area, Graceada Park and La Loma.
Whatever Modesto throws at us — refrigerators and freezers, washers and dryers, ranges, ovens and cooktops and dishwashers — the job runs the same way. You send a photo or a short description, we send back a fixed number, and if you say yes we show up in a tight window and do the lifting. Refrigerant recovered by a certified handler — not dumped in a field.
You will not get a phone estimate that grows once a truck is sitting in your driveway. That is the standard move in this industry, and it is exactly why most people put off calling anyone until the pile gets unbearable.
What we take
- Refrigerators and freezers
- Washers and dryers
- Ranges, ovens and cooktops
- Dishwashers
- Water heaters
- Microwaves and small appliances
- Air conditioners and window units
- Trash compactors
What we can't
- Commercial refrigeration with sealed systems we are not certified to evacuate — we will refer you
Nobody legitimate takes household hazardous waste on a junk run — it has to go through a county HHW event. We separate it out, stack it where you can find it, and tell you the nearest drop-off date instead of quietly leaving it in a corner.

Where your Modesto junk actually goes
Most of what leaves a Modesto job goes to Gilton Resource Recovery in Modesto, at a posted gate rate of $82.50 per ton as of 2026-07-01. Gilton Resource Recovery is open seven days a week, which is why we can run Modesto jobs on a Sunday when almost nobody else in this market will.
Before that, usable furniture and appliances go to donation, and metal, cardboard, e-waste and green waste get separated out. We keep the weight tickets on every load and we will hand them to you if you want to see them — that is not something most haulers offer and it is the fastest way to tell whether someone is actually disposing legally or dumping on a county road.
Why this matters to your price: gate rates across our service area range from $40.64 a ton at Foothill Sanitary Landfill to $107.76 at the most expensive transfer station in Lodi. Routing loads to the right gate is most of the difference between a hauler who can hold a price and one who surprises you at the end.

Modesto questions
How fast can you get to Modesto?
Modesto is about 40 minutes from our Lodi base, so it is inside our normal daily route rather than an out-of-area trip. That is the practical reason we can hold same-day and next-day slots here when a Sacramento-based company quoting the same job is adding an hour of windshield time each way.
Where does the debris from a Modesto job go?
Gilton Resource Recovery in Modesto, currently $82.50 per ton as of 2026-07-01. It is open seven days, which is why Sunday service is available in this area. Donation-quality items go to a receiving charity first, and metal, cardboard, e-waste and green waste are separated out. We keep the weight ticket on every load.
Why is there a charge for refrigerators?
Refrigerant has to be recovered by a certified technician before the unit can be scrapped — that is federal law, not a made-up fee. $90 covers it. Anyone quoting you $0 on a fridge is either not recovering the refrigerant or making it up elsewhere.
Can you disconnect it?
Yes — water lines, dryer vents, and gas at the existing shutoff valve. We do not cut or cap gas lines; that is a plumber's job and we will say so.
Do you buy working appliances?
No, but if it works we will try to place it with a donation partner instead of scrapping it, which sometimes reduces your price.
What about a water heater?
$125, and we will shut off the water and gas at the valves. If it needs to be drained first, tell us and we will bring time for it.
