Responsible Appliance Disposal in North Chicago

 

How to Dispose of Appliances in Chicago responsibly

 

When You Need to Take Care of Old Appliances That No Longer Work, Make Sure to Call Junk King for Responsible Appliance Disposal in Chicago.

At some point, the appliances in your home fizzle right out, and you need to replace them. However, not every retailer that sells replacement appliances offers haul away or removal of your old appliances. Sure, you might think that you can throw them on the curb, but all that happens is they end up in landfills, and in some cases, you could be throwing dangerous chemicals into the environment.

  • Refrigerators
  • Washers

Why Choose an Expert Like Junk King?

 

First of all, according to Illinois law, many landfills do not accept appliances like refrigerators, freezers, hot water heaters, or other large items. Instead, you must take them to a junkyard. You will have to remove the appliance from its spot in the home, load it into a vehicle, and then fight traffic to get it to a junkyard. Once there, you might even realize that the junk yard in question doesn’t even have space for it.

As you can see, the best thing to do in this case is to simply call the team at Junk King Chicago.

 

 

New call-to-action

 

Junk Removal is Not Easy!

 

It is not easy to remove your old appliances. They are heavy, bulky, as well as awkward, which means you probably need help. Do you really want to call up the cousin you haven’t seen since Thanksgiving or ask your friend from work? Probably not. That’s why our pros at Junk King Chicago are waiting for your call.

Old appliances don’t just look bad. If they work, they could be really noisy and inefficient. Plus, they take up a ton of space that you probably need for new appliances. Some appliances, including washers, dryers, air conditioners, and refrigerators, often have mold inside of them, and could even have faulty wiring, which could put your home or building at risk of fire. Even things like failing heating elements, fans that aren’t working right, or old, clunky motors can put the health and safety of your family at risk.

We understand that there are a lot of DIYers out there who want to try to save some money by hauling out the old appliances themselves. In fact, you might even be one of these people. However, it can also be quite dangerous to lift these heavy appliances, even if you have help, and an injured back can wreak havoc on your life for many years to come.

Junk King: Your One-Stop Solution For Appliance Removal

 
If you have some old appliances sitting around in your home or office premises, you may need to get rid of them in an eco-friendly manner and free up space for more important things. In most cases, old or broken-down appliances just collect dust and take up valuable space. Unfortunately, getting rid of old appliances such as stoves, refrigerators, and washing machines can be a daunting process. Large appliances are notoriously hard to pick up and move, and once you load them into a truck, your next challenge is to figure out where to bring them and dispose of them.
 

 
At Junk King, we provide efficient, safe, and eco-friendly appliance removal services, so you don’t need to stress yourself about the pick-up or disposal. We also make sure that your old appliances end up in the right place, such as a charity if the appliances are still functional or a recycling facility where the appliances can be disposed of in an eco-friendly way.
 
So, if you’re ready to remove those old appliances, you can make your appointment by booking online or by calling 1.888.888.JUNK (5865). Our team of professional and insured appliance removers will show up at your home or business to haul it all away. We typically call 15 minutes before we arrive on site and provide you with a free estimate based on how much space your appliances take up in our truck. Your job is to simply point at the old appliance, and we’ll haul it into our junk removal truck with no hidden fees.
 

What is Old Appliance Removal?

 
Appliance removal involves finding new life for your old appliances or their parts. If you’ve only had your old washing machine or dryer for a few years and it’s still in good working condition, we can almost always find a new home for it. Your gently-used but working appliances still have value and can help someone in need.
 
At Junk King, we remove almost all types of appliances, including:

  • Beverage/Wine Chillers
  • Dishwashers
  • Air Conditioners
  • Dryers
  • Heaters
  • Lawnmowers
  • Garbage Disposals
  • Microwaves
  • Mini-Fridges
  • Stoves/Ranges/Cooktops
  • Trash Compactors
  • Ovens/Wall Ovens
  • Refrigerators/Freezers
  • Water Heaters
  • Washing Machines/Dryers
  • Vacuums

 
Removing old appliances is simply the first obstacle. The huge challenge with appliance removal is that it’s never a DIY project. Many large appliances weigh far too much for a single person to lift. But even if you get a helping hand, the job still requires proper equipment such as a hand truck or furniture dolly, duct tape, packaging tape, or furniture straps to keep the panels and lids closed while in transit.
 
Junk appliance removal also requires suitable trucks, the kinds that we use at Junk King. While a few larger hatchbacks might accommodate a mini-fridge or small drier, this is typically a task for a pick-up truck or sometimes a trailer. At Junk King, we take care of everything by getting the appliance out of your home or office, out to the curb, into the back of our truck, and away to the right recycling facility or donation center.
 

How Junk King Gets Rid of Junk Appliances?

Our appliance removal starts with getting your old or dysfunctional appliance out of your home, apartment, or workplace and hauling it away. In most cases, the landfill is not an option. And since half the states in the country have laws banning items like appliances from their landfills, Junk King offers better alternatives for getting rid of your junk appliances.
 
For instance, functional appliances are always in demand, and we always consider donating them to charities. Yes, unlike other kinds of “junk” items, donating is a great approach for finding a new home for old appliances. Besides, most second-hand shops, churches, schools, non-profit groups, and community thrift stores are always willing to accept old appliances if they are in good condition. You can even get a receipt for your donation and keep it for a tax deduction.
 
Here are some other ways Junk King makes appliance removal seamless:
 

Excellent Customer Service

 
At Junk King, we’re always happy to provide you with references or referrals on request. Besides, you can check our testimonials page to see what our previous customers say about our services. Our company’s reputation is based more on our exceptional customer service experience than even price.
 

Efficient Appliance Recycling

 
A big part of our eco-friendly junk appliance removal service is our strong commitment to the environment. We recycle as many items as we can and can help you dispose of your old dishwashers, refrigerators, stoves, ovens, washers, dryers, and HVAC equipment in an eco-friendly manner.
 
And since many appliances, especially kitchen and laundry appliances, are largely made of metal, we can recycle most of them. When it comes to recycling scrap metal from your non-working appliances, Junk King is your trusted partner. As an eco-friendly company, we’ll ensure that as much of the scrap metal is recovered and recycled.
 
Also, remember that older appliances such as refrigerators, freezers, and A/C units contain Freon or other hazardous chemicals. These solvents are usually harmful to the environment and need to be handled carefully. Our team will ensure Freon is safely collected by a recycling center before recycling the appliance itself.
 

Competitive and Transparent Pricing Structure

 
You should avoid choosing a junk removal firm with the cheapest prices. Remember, you get exactly what you pay for. Besides, a poor junk removal experience with one company reflects badly on the entire junk removal industry. At Junk King, we strive to offer transparent and competitive prices without compromising the quality of our services. Our aim is to provide you with more value for your money.
 

Eco-Friendly and Dedicated to Green Practices

 
Always stay away from junk removal companies that only haul away junk to landfills. At Junk King, we’re committed to green practices and will strive to recycle at least 70 percent of the junk we collect. We’ll also donate functional appliances to charities and other organizations to keep waste away from landfills.
 

Professional, Insured, and Bonded

 
You’ll find many “one-man” outfits that offer junk removal services. While some of them might be competent, you’ll want to verify their experience and professionalism. At Junk King, we have a skilled team of bonded and insured junk removal professionals. Our trucks are clean and in good condition to do the job right the first time. By working with our professional company with solid experience, you’ll get excellent service in a shorter amount of time.

Top 4 Tips to Follow During Appliance Removal

Appliances wear out over time and will need to be replaced by more energy-efficient alternatives. The problem is, what should you do with your old appliances? 

Old appliances can’t usually be put out with regular trash because they contain toxic chemicals. That makes old appliances bad candidates for the landfill as well. 

 

 

As a full-service junk removal company, Junk King accepts home appliances, including bulky appliances like refrigerators, washing machines and water heaters. Virtually the only item that Junk King doesn’t accept is hazardous waste! 

Junk King works with local metal recyclers and charities to find new uses for your old appliances. Junk removal professionals can handle every aspect of appliance removal – from removal to environmentally responsible disposal. 

 

Expert Tips for Appliance Removal 

 

The number one tip for appliance removal would be planning ahead. Most appliances will need to be replaced every ten years or so. Therefore, if you purchased all of your appliances about a decade ago, it could actually be a blessing in disguise. 

Having all of your old appliances removed on the same day with Junk King is an easy, convenient way to make space for new appliances. Junk King actually takes a variety of home appliances: 

  • – Air Conditioners
  • – Dishwashers
  • – Dryers
  • – Garbage Disposals
  • – Space Heaters
  • – Lawnmowers
  • – Microwaves
  • – Mini-Fridges
  • – Ovens/Wall Ovens
  • – Refrigerators/Freezers
  • – Stoves/Ranges/Cooktops
  • – Trash Compactors
  • – Vacuums
  • – Water Heaters
  • – Washing Machines/Dryers

 

Taking an inventory of all of your appliances and checking for any operational issues, especially on older appliances, can be a good way to determine what might need to be hauled away by junk removal professionals.

What is Appliance Removal? 

 

Appliance removal at Junk King means finding a new home for your old appliances. Sometimes appliances can’t be reused because they’ve stopped functioning; in that case, Junk King will work with recyclers to eventually reuse parts of your old appliances. 

But when should you actually go with appliance removal? There’s one rule of thumb that experts say to go with when it comes to appliance removal – the 50/50 rule. If an appliance is halfway or more past its lifespan – e.g., a ten-year lifespan – and the given appliance will cost more than half the price to repair, then seriously consider replacing it. 

Junk King has the special equipment to quickly get old appliances out of your home. In addition to having trucks that are now 20% larger and special equipment like furniture straps and dollies ready to go, Junk King’s employees are fully insured to protect your home. 

 

Clues You are Ready for Appliance Removal 

 

Home appliances like washers, dryers, garbage disposals and refrigerators have on average a ten-year lifespan. While this is only an average and the exact number is impossible to pinpoint, there are a number of clues that your appliances could be ready for replacement. 

Dishwashers in particular can be prone to error. If there are odd noises during a dishwashing cycle or you notice the water temperature isn’t hot enough, then it might be time to upgrade. New Energy Star-certified dishwashers use as little as three gallons of water per load. That certainly might be a reason to consider appliance removal. 

The fact is that Energy Star appliances can save up to 50% of the required energy versus a comparison model. If an Energy Star appliance is replacing an old appliance, then the savings could be significantly larger than that. 

Another reason, though, that you might want to consider appliance removal is safety. A clothes dryer that leaves your clothes damp after a load or creates excessive amounts of noise during a cycle could mean that you ultimately need appliance removal. An old dryer could produce a burning odor or actually be a fire risk, so that’s not something to put off! 

While not every failing appliance is a hazard, they are almost always energy-inefficient and, honestly, frequently annoying. For instance, a malfunctioning washer can lead to water leaking on the floor, a lack of water in the drum, and excessive knocking during a cycle. 

Remember that Junk King takes all of these appliances and more. Although there are no hard-and-fast absolutes for when to replace old appliances, the 50/50 rule, the ten-year lifespan on most home appliances, and the clues above are a good guide.
