Bundle Removal With New Appliance

For larger appliances, like washers and dryers, many stores will offer removal services as an option when you are buying a new model. Look for stores that offer a deal for a free removal as part of your upgrade. And stores may try to charge a fee for this service, but bundling it with the price of a new model is common.

Call a Service

Call up your local waste disposal center, landfill or garbage experts and ask them about pickup services. When asking about how to get rid of your appliance, remember to be specific about what appliance you want removed. And be ready to tell them the year it was manufactured, if they ask. This is often the most expensive option, so make sure to inquire about fees and see if there is any way to save some money.
