Appliance Removal in Cleveland, Ohio: What to Expect

Old refrigerators, washers, dryers, and stoves are too heavy to move alone and too bulky for the curb. Here's how professional appliance removal works in Cleveland.

Cleveland homeowners replace appliances regularly — new refrigerators, upgraded washers and dryers, modern stoves and dishwashers. But getting rid of the old ones is a different story. Appliances are heavy, awkward, and often contain materials that can't simply be thrown in the trash. That's where Fly By Junk Haulers comes in.

Why You Can't Just Leave Appliances at the Curb in Cleveland

Cleveland's regular trash collection does not accept large appliances. The City of Cleveland requires appliances to be scheduled for special bulk pickup — and those slots fill up fast. Refrigerators and air conditioners contain refrigerants (Freon) that require certified removal under EPA regulations. Leaving them at the curb can result in fines and creates environmental hazards for your neighborhood.

Appliances We Remove in Cleveland

  • Refrigerators and freezers (including Freon-containing units)
  • Washers and dryers (front-load and top-load)
  • Stoves, ranges, and ovens (gas and electric)
  • Dishwashers
  • Microwaves (countertop and over-range)
  • Air conditioners (window and portable units)
  • Water heaters (tank and tankless)
  • Garbage disposals and trash compactors

The Appliance Removal Process in Cleveland

When you schedule appliance removal with Fly By, our two-person crew arrives at your Cleveland home, disconnects the appliance (if still connected), and hauls it out — whether it's in the kitchen, basement, or garage. We handle all the heavy lifting. You don't need to move anything to the curb or disconnect anything in advance.

What Happens to Your Old Appliances

We take appliance recycling seriously. Metal components are separated and sent to scrap metal recyclers. Refrigerants are extracted by certified technicians before disposal. Working appliances in good condition may be donated to Cleveland-area organizations like Habitat for Humanity ReStore or local community assistance programs. We aim to keep as much as possible out of the landfill.
