You’ve been meaning to get rid of it for a while now and you thought this year would be the time to finally do it. But 2020 turned out to be a year unlike any other, and old appliance removal took a back seat to just staying safe and staying home!
At Junk King Washington DC, we understand.
And, fortunately, we’re also here to take care of that old appliance removal task for you. We’re local, but our Junk King name has a national reputation for being Number One for service in our industry. And, in and around the DC area, like Dulles or the Naval Sea Systems Command, you can know that there’s an expert team of appliance removal professionals ready to serve you.
How Old is That Washing Machine Anyway?
Okay, so maybe it’s not an old washing machine but, if you’re like most people, you’ve probably got some old kitchen appliances or other types of appliances still sitting in your house, your garage, or worse, your basement.
How many of us still have an old refrigerator that we held onto after replacing it with a newer model (that is probably due for an upgrade now!) and it’s still in the garage or back porch. At first, it seemed like a great idea – having an extra fridge for meats and all the stuff from Walmart or Costco.
But it may not be working all that well anymore, it makes strange noises, and it’s certainly not energy efficient.
Getting rid of a working appliance is one thing. You might be able to sell it or at least donate it. But that, too, involves a great deal of work on your part. Moving, lifting, and hauling a large appliance is not only difficult, but it can also be dangerous.
And, if you live alone, or don’t feel you can manage something that big, then it’s really not an option.
While it’s true that some retailers will take away your old piece when you purchase a new appliance from them and have it delivered, but not always. And then you have to figure it out for yourself. Without a large truck and some strong “helping hands” that’s a tall order.
Appliances can be heavy. The average large capacity washing machine can weigh over 220 pounds, while a dryer typically weighs in at anywhere between 150-200 pounds, on average.
And 30” built-in microwaves might weigh up to 100 pounds or more. But the worst is large refrigerators! Most side-by-side refrigerators weigh between 240 and 340 pounds with the average weight at over 280 pounds.
Removing and disposing of these appliance beasts isn’t really on anyone’s do-it-yourself list.

When you call Junk King Washington DC not only can we quickly and easily remove your old appliances, but you can take advantage of the opportunity to have us remove any other type of junk items and materials you need to get rid of.
In fact, at Junk King, we can take most everything except for hazardous waste items.
And it doesn’t matter whether you are a homeowner, condominium dweller, a renter, or even a business or some other type of commercial entity. If you have old or non-working appliances you really can’t do better than to call Junk King.
For one thing, our customer service is rated number one in the industry, and one of the ways we earn that is by respecting you and your time. We understand that you don’t have the time nor the desire to wait around all day for an 8-hour window of time. Once you schedule a junk pick up with us, we’ll arrive on schedule and, once we get there, we get the job done quickly and safely.
And, if need be, we’ll even sweep up afterward!
So, what do we do for you? We can haul and remove most items using a two-man team and, if your items are too much for them, we can provide the necessary personnel to make it happen. Because our trucks are as much as 30 percent larger than our competitors, that gives us an advantage over all our competition.
Not only can we haul more appliance items than the others, but we can also pick up and haul away a wide variety of appliances such as:
- Air Conditioners
- Dishwashers
- Chest Freezers
- Refrigerators
- Washing Machines
- Dryers
- Stoves and Ovens
- Trash Compactors
- Microwaves
- And even Water Heaters
Junk King uses two primary methods for disposing of your old or unwanted appliances. The first thing we look at is the condition of your appliance. If it still works and functions properly, our junk removal professionals take it to local charities where our franchise owners donate unwanted appliances and other junk items.
The second method is to arrange for recycling. And this is relatively easy and great for the planet. Almost 90 percent of most household appliances are made of metal, primarily steel, which is completely recyclable. This also means that far fewer of these bulky items will take up rapidly shrinking space in our landfills.
