Appliance Removal in Salem & the North Shore

We carry out the washer, the dryer, and the stove

We take out the heavy appliances when you're upgrading a kitchen or laundry room: refrigerators, washing machines, dryers, ovens, and dishwashers. Appliances aren't ordinary trash, because Freon and other components fall under environmental rules, so they go to facilities set up to handle them and to recycle what can be recycled.

How We Handle It

Text us a photo of what's going for a quote, and you get the firm number in person before we start.

We also do refrigerator and freezer removal, water heater removal, scrap metal pickup, and electronic waste removal.

How Much Will This Cost?

Pricing is based on the space your load takes up in the truck, or on weight for heavy material. We give you a free, firm price in person before any work begins, and once you agree to it, it does not go up.

• $120 minimum pickup
• $70 to $100 per cubic yard
• Closer to $70 when it is light and easy to reach

For a very small job close to our Salem base we can sometimes bring the minimum down to $80 to $100, so it is worth asking. The minimum can also be higher for a job well outside our normal routes. See the full pricing page.

Whether a town takes an appliance at the curb changes town by town, and the towns that publish a price do not all charge the same. Here is how six North Shore towns handle appliances, including the one that refuses a Freon unit at any price.

Appliances holding refrigerant are on the Massachusetts disposal ban list along with mattresses and old tube TVs, and each of them goes to a recycler that charges for it. Here is what junk removal costs in Massachusetts, including the items that get priced separately and the reason why.

We carry an appliance up from the basement and out to the truck ourselves, and in Salem the city takes white goods, Freon units included, at $20 once a month, as long as you can get them to the curb yourself. Here is what Salem's white goods pickup covers and what the city will not take at any price.

We take the dead fridge out of a garage with the rest of the load, and anything holding refrigerant has to be handled before the metal can be recycled, so that handling is quoted on its own line. Here is what a garage cleanout costs in Massachusetts and which garage items, appliances included, get their own line.

About Us, Our Story

The Junk Heroes is a brother-owned and operated junk removal company rooted in Salem, MA. We live right on the line between Salem and Swampscott, two minutes from Vinnin Square, and we started this business because we wanted to run a junk removal service that showed up on time, treated customers like neighbors, and charged honest prices.

We give a single couch the same care as a full estate cleanout. Families and businesses around Salem, Swampscott, Beverly, Lynn, and Marblehead have left us 350+ five-star reviews.

The Junk Heroes is an independent company that two brothers built and still run, with a crew of friends who haul alongside them, and we stand behind every job we do.

We do this by the book. We carry $2M in general liability, a $1M umbrella policy and $1M in commercial auto coverage. We are USDOT registered (USDOT 8843043), our drivers hold DOT medical cards, and we hold commercial accounts at the disposal facilities we use, so every load ends up where it is supposed to.
