“Had a plan AND morning confirmation with [another junk remover] and they canceled last minute, an hour before. I was in a bind, and I called & texted the folks at JunkRabbit. They were fast, courteous and available on short notice.”

Appliance Removal in Detroit
The second fridge in the garage quit years ago. The chest freezer in the basement smells like it. The window unit from the upstairs bedroom is sitting in the hallway. We take all three in one visit and send the refrigerant to a certified technician before the metal is scrapped — a refrigerator is $164, a chest freezer $146.

Why the Refrigerant Matters
Fridges, freezers, window air conditioners and dehumidifiers all hold refrigerant. Federal rules (40 CFR 82.155) require the last company to handle the unit to recover it — or get signed proof someone already did — before the unit is scrapped.
Local Curb Rules for Appliances
What happens to an old appliance at the curb depends on which city you’re in, and Metro Detroit’s cities don’t agree.
Warren
Refrigerators and freezers go out empty with the doors removed. Air conditioners and dehumidifiers aren’t collected until a licensed technician removes the Freon and puts a sticker on the unit.
Dearborn
Everyday household bulk goes out weekly, but some appliances, heavy items and carpet need a separately booked special pickup that carries a fee.
City of Detroit
An appliance counts toward the two-cubic-yard weekly bulk allowance and has to be at the curb by 7 a.m. Moving a fridge up from a basement is on you.

Appliance Removal FAQs
How much is refrigerator removal in Metro Detroit?
A standard fridge is $164 and a side-by-side or French-door fridge $183. Refrigerant recovery is included.
Can you take a window air conditioner in Warren without the Freon sticker?
Yes. Warren’s sticker rule applies to curbside collection. We take the unit as-is and have the refrigerant recovered ourselves. A large window unit is $109.
Do you disconnect gas dryers and water heaters?
No. Have a plumber or technician shut off and disconnect gas and water; the crew carries the unit out once it’s free.
Can you bring a chest freezer up from the basement?
Yes, for $146. Please empty and unplug it the day before so it can drain.
Where do the old appliances go?
Refrigerant goes to a certified technician, and the steel and copper go to a scrap recycler.
