Fast, honest quotes. Snap a photo of the appliance, text or email it, and we'll reply with a ballpark starting price from our published rate card — your final price is confirmed on-site.
Three steps, no runaround.
Text or email a photo of the appliance to (704) 459-5052 or [email protected]. We reply with a ballpark starting price pulled straight from our published rate card — no guesswork, no vague "we'll tell you when we arrive." On the day of service, our 2-person crew shows up, disconnects and carries the appliance out from wherever it lives — kitchen, laundry room, basement, garage — loads the truck, and sweeps the area. You never have to move it to the curb.
Your final price is confirmed on-site before we haul anything. No surprise fees, no upsell. See the full 2026 cost guide for a detailed breakdown of what goes into the price.
We haul the full range of major household appliances — anything a two-person crew can safely carry:
Have several appliances going at once — say, a fridge and a washer-dryer pair from a rental turnover or estate cleanout? They're estimated as one job from a photo, not by adding up item prices. See the pricing page for single-item starting prices.
Prices on this page are ballpark estimates copied from our published rate card — your exact price is confirmed on-site. Single-item prices include pickup, disconnection assist, loading, and disposal by our 2-person crew.
Hauling multiple appliances? Several appliances are estimated as one job from a photo, not by adding up item prices. See the 2026 cost guide for single-item starting prices, or text a photo and we'll give you a rough estimate up front.
Federal rule — EPA names the final disposer, not the pickup truck. The reason a fridge is not just another piece of junk is the refrigerant inside it. Who has to recover that refrigerant is a specific party, and it is not automatically the hauler who carried the unit out of your kitchen. EPA: “The final disposer of appliances is responsible for recovering any refrigerant contained in appliances.” That is typically the landfill or the recycler. When the person who recovers the refrigerant is not the one who finally disposes of the appliance, EPA wants a paper trail to travel with the unit: “If the entity that recovers the refrigerant is not the final disposer of the appliance, EPA requires a signed statement containing the name and address of the person who recovered the refrigerant, and the date that the refrigerant was recovered.”
What that means for your bill: we do not add a freon surcharge. EPA is also explicit about stickers: “Please note that no sticker is required for disposal.” That sentence is about stickers, not about what a hauler is allowed to charge. This is a federal Clean Air Act rule. It is not a Mecklenburg County gate fee, and it is not a City of Charlotte curbside rule, and it is not EPA ordering 704junk to pull the freon.
Quoted from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Appliance Disposal: Appliance Disposal (epa.gov), fetched September 16, 2026, HTTP 200. This is a federal Clean Air Act §608 rule. It names the final disposer of the appliance — typically a landfill or recycler — and it is not a Mecklenburg County drop-off price, not a City of Charlotte curbside rule, and not a requirement that 704junk personally recover the refrigerant. Checked September 2026. Disposal rules change — read the linked page before you assume an item is accepted.Refrigerators, freezers, window AC units, and dehumidifiers all contain refrigerants that have to be recovered before the appliance is finally disposed of. We handle that by taking the unit through proper disposal channels — the final disposer is the party EPA names. What that means for you: the freon in your old fridge is not your problem to manage, and it does not add anything to your bill.
As stated on our homepage: refrigerators, freezers, and AC units are priced the same whether or not they hold freon — no freon fee, ever. Our add-ons include a $25 e-waste fee on TVs and monitors and $8 per tire; those are our fees, not a county mandate. Appliances with refrigerant don't carry any extra charge.
If you've called other Charlotte haulers and gotten quotes with a freon surcharge tacked on, that fee won't appear on our invoice. Our ballpark prices already account for everything.
Two different North Carolina agencies touch a discarded fridge, and they do two different jobs. One is environmental: the refrigerant has to come out of discarded white goods. The other is revenue: a $3.00 tax you already paid at the store, not a line we add at pickup. Neither is a county rule.
State environmental rule — North Carolina requires the refrigerant out of discarded white goods. A fridge is not ordinary junk because the General Assembly said so, in a finding NC DEQ still publishes: “The General Assembly finds that white goods are difficult to dispose of, that white goods contain chlorofluorocarbon refrigerants, pose a danger to the environment, and that it is in the best interest of the State to require that chlorofluorocarbon refrigerants be removed from discarded white goods.” That is N.C.G.S. 130A-309.80 as quoted on DEQ's White Goods page. It is a state environmental requirement about discarded white goods generally. It is not a Mecklenburg County ordinance, and it is not a claim that 704junk is the party who removes the refrigerant.
DEQ also says how the program is paid for: “The program is funded by a $3.00 disposal tax on the sale of white goods, collected at the retail level. The white goods disposal tax is imposed by Article 5C of Chapter 105 of the North Carolina General Statutes. The funds collected are redistributed to counties by the North Carolina Department of Revenue.” Collected at retail — when a new appliance is sold — not when we pick up the old one. And: “White goods tax proceeds a county receives are to be spent on white goods activities.” That is the state-to-county link, in DEQ's own words. The next block is the Department of Revenue stating the same $3.00 tax from the revenue side.
Quoted from the NC Department of Environmental Quality, Solid Waste Section, White Goods: White Goods (deq.nc.gov), fetched September 16, 2026, HTTP 200. This is a state environmental rule under G.S. 130A-309.80, published by DEQ — it is not a Mecklenburg County drop-off price, not a City of Charlotte curbside rule, and not a federal EPA sticker requirement. The $3.00 it mentions is a retail tax on a new white good; the Department of Revenue's page for that tax is quoted in the next block. Checked September 2026. Disposal rules change — read the linked page before you assume an item is accepted.State revenue rule — the $3.00 is a retail tax on a new appliance, not a pickup fee. NC Department of Revenue defines the category this page is about: “White goods include refrigerators, ranges, water heaters, freezers, unit air conditioners, washing machines, dishwashers, clothes dryers, and other similar domestic and commercial large appliances.” The tax itself: “White goods disposal tax is due on the retail sale and purchase of new white goods.” And the rate: “The white goods disposal tax rate is $3.00 for each new white good.”
You already paid that $3.00 — if you paid it at all — to the retailer who sold the replacement, not to us. “The tax is used, in part, for the management of discarded white goods.” DEQ, in the block above, adds that those proceeds are redistributed to counties. None of that is a line item we add when we pick up the old fridge. The refrigerator from $125 on this page is our hauling price. It is not the white-goods tax.
Quoted from the NC Department of Revenue, White Goods Disposal Tax: White Goods Disposal Tax (ncdor.gov), fetched September 16, 2026, HTTP 200. This is a state revenue tax levied at retail on a new white good — it is not a Mecklenburg County gate fee, not a City of Charlotte curbside rule, and not a charge 704junk adds at pickup. The environmental mandate to remove refrigerant from discarded white goods is the DEQ finding in the block above, a different state agency doing a different job. Checked September 2026. Tax rates change — read the linked page for the current rate.Yes — we come inside. Unlike curbside-only pickup services, our crew carries appliances out from wherever they're located: main floor, kitchen, laundry room, basement, or upstairs. You don't have to move anything to the door or the curb.
Stairs above the main floor add $30 per flight — that's the only location-based add-on we charge. So if your washer and dryer are in an upstairs laundry room, expect a $30 stair fee on top of the item price. Basement appliances on the same level as a walkout door don't typically incur a stair fee; let us know the layout when you text the photo and we'll factor it into your ballpark quote.
Heavy or awkward appliances like side-by-side refrigerators are no problem — a 2-person crew with the right equipment is built for that kind of work. Text a photo of the location along with the appliance and we'll give you an accurate ballpark before we commit to a time.
