Appliance Removal in Orlando
Here’s the thing most people find out the hard way: unincorporated Orange County won’t pick up a refrigerator or freezer at the curb. You’re expected to haul it to the landfill yourself. We’ll carry it out of the kitchen instead — a standard fridge is $164, a washer $133, a dryer $128.
Every Freon appliance goes to certified refrigerant recovery, and the metal to recycling, because Florida doesn’t let white goods into its landfills.

What Happens to the Freon
Refrigerators, freezers, dehumidifiers, and AC units contain refrigerant that federal rules require to be recovered by a certified technician before the unit is scrapped, with records kept.
- Refrigerant recovered, documented
- Steel and copper recycled
- Compressor oil handled separately
- Nothing landfilled whole
That handling is why a fridge costs more than a dresser — and it’s already in the flat price.
You Don’t Have to Disconnect It Perfectly
Unplug it, empty the food, and shut off the water line to the ice maker if it has one. Our crews carry appliances; they don’t install or re-plumb them, so gas ranges and hard-wired units should be disconnected by a licensed tech before pickup day.
Photo the appliance where it stands — the price comes back before you’ve closed the fridge door.

How to Get Rid of an Appliance Around Orlando
This is where the local rules genuinely differ — and where a lot of people end up with a dead fridge in the garage for months.
Unincorporated Orange County
Refrigerators and freezers are not collected curbside. Residents must take them to the Orange County Landfill on Young Pine Road themselves and pay the landfill’s minimum charge. Other appliances fit the weekly three-cubic-yard bulk limit.
City of Orlando
The city does take fridges, washers, and dryers as one of your two yard-waste-day items — with refrigerator and freezer doors removed first, and only if the crew can hand-load it.
Retailer Haul-Away
Stores sometimes remove the old unit when they deliver a new one, often for an added fee and only for the same type of appliance.
JunkRabbit
Any appliance, any address in the service area, carried out from where it sits — including the garage fridge the county won’t touch.

These neighborhoods mail as “Orlando” but fall under Orange County’s trash rules — the ones that leave refrigerators behind.
Appliance Removal FAQs
How much does appliance removal cost in Orlando?
Standard refrigerator $164, large or side-by-side fridge $183, chest freezer $146, washer $133, dryer $128, dishwasher $109, tank water heater $131. Refrigerant recovery, carry-out, and recycling are included.
Why won’t Orange County pick up my refrigerator?
The county’s weekly bulk collection excludes appliances containing Freon, such as refrigerators and freezers, because the refrigerant has to be recovered before disposal. Residents are told to take them to the landfill themselves. We remove them from inside the house and route them to certified recovery.
Does the City of Orlando take old refrigerators?
Yes, as one of your two bulk items on yard-waste day, provided the doors are removed and the crew can lift it by hand. Heavier units need the city’s paid claw-truck service.
Do I need to disconnect the appliance before you arrive?
Unplug it and empty it. Water lines to ice makers should be shut off, and gas ranges or hard-wired units should be disconnected by a licensed technician; our crews carry appliances out but don’t disconnect gas or electrical service.
Can I put a fridge in the Orlando landfill myself?
Florida bans white goods such as refrigerators, washers, and water heaters from being landfilled whole; the county landfill takes them through its appliance program for a minimum charge. You still need a truck and two people to get it there.
Do you take a washer and dryer together?
Yes — washer $133 and dryer $128, on one quote and one trip. A stacked washer-dryer combo is $189.
Is there sales tax on appliance removal?
No. Florida doesn’t tax junk removal, including appliance haul-away.
