Kitchen renos and old-fridge swap-outs

The Upper West Side is family co-ops and condos off Columbus and Amsterdam, where the most common appliance job is a kitchen reno or a tired fridge being swapped for a new one. The new unit arrives, the old one has to go — and most UWS boards want a Certificate of Insurance and a reserved service elevator before a hauler comes up. We email a $1M COI to your managing agent, usually within the hour, and book the elevator window. A standard fridge is $221, flat, with no walk-up, elevator, or high-rise surcharge.

Old refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioners contain refrigerant, and EPA Section 608 requires a certified handler recover it before the unit is scrapped — the reason DSNY won't take a fridge from the curb without a certified tag. We handle the recovery and the certification, included in your quote. You disconnect it (unplug, shut the water valve, or cap a gas line via a plumber); our two-person crew does the heavy carry on dollies.

Metal appliances go to a scrap recycler. Upload a photo for an exact price and we'll book the slot.

Frequently asked questions

How much does appliance removal cost on the Upper West Side?

Is the EPA refrigerant fee extra for a fridge or AC?

No — it's already in the price. Refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioners contain refrigerant that EPA Section 608 requires be recovered by a certified handler before disposal, which is also why DSNY won't take a fridge from the curb without a certified tag. We handle the recovery and the certification; it's included.

My UWS co-op needs a Certificate of Insurance. Can you provide it?

Yes. Most Upper West Side co-op and condo boards require a COI before a removal. We email a $1M general-liability COI to your managing agent, usually within the hour, and book the service-elevator window.

Do I need to disconnect the appliance first?

Unplug it, and shut the water valve for a washer or dishwasher. For a gas stove, have the gas line capped by a licensed plumber first. Once it's disconnected, our two-person crew dollies it out — no scratched floors or walls.

Can you remove it the same day?

Often yes, once the building's service-elevator window allows — with no same-day surcharge. Upload a photo, get an exact price, and we'll coordinate the slot.
