How it works
How appliance removal works with Penguin Junk Removal
-
Book your pickup
Tell us what appliance you need removed — model and location in the home. Book online, by phone, or text. Most calls are scheduled within 24–48 hours.
-
We confirm the arrival window
You'll get a 1–3 hour arrival window the morning of the job, plus a text when the crew is on the way.
-
On-site quote before we lift
Our two- to four-person crew walks through with you and gives a final, no-obligation quote based on the appliance and access. You're free to decline at no cost.
-
Safe disconnect
We shut off water valves, close gas valves (we don't cut), and unplug standard power. Hard-wired electrical or plumbing work isn't included.
-
Carry-out & truck loading
We use dollies, blankets, and door-jamb protection to carry the unit out of basements, second-floor laundry rooms, or wherever it lives. Then we load it on the truck.
-
Certified recycling
Refrigerant-containing units go to licensed recyclers that capture coolant and reclaim the metal. Working appliances under 10 years old are donated when possible.
-
Payment & sweep-up
You pay the on-site quote when we're done — card, ACH, or cash. We sweep the space and you sign off.
We pull old fridges out of basements, lift water heaters off of pedestals, disconnect washer-dryer stacks, and haul window A/C units back down to the curb — every working day across Southeast Michigan.
The hardest part of getting rid of an appliance isn’t paying for the removal. It’s the disconnect, the move, the staircase, the trip to the recycling center. We do all of it.
What’s included
- Safe disconnect of water lines, gas valves (closing only — we don’t cut), and standard power plugs
- Two- to four-person carry-out from anywhere on the property
- Floor & wall protection with our own blankets and door-jamb covers
- Certified recycling of refrigerant-containing units through licensed facilities
- Donations of working appliances to local nonprofits when possible
We schedule appliance pickups same-day and next-day whenever our route allows.

Excellent service! Highly recommend this company for junk removal. I had junk lying around my yard for months and the crew who came over cleaned out the junk in no time. They were professional and did a wonderful job at clearing out my space. Kudos to the team!

Fast, friendly, and fairly priced. The crew showed up when they said they would and hauled away an entire garage of junk in under an hour. Couldn't be happier.

We had a basement full of old furniture and boxes from a relative's estate. The Penguin team was respectful, efficient, and honest about pricing up front. Would absolutely use again.

Got a same-day appointment to take a hot tub out of my backyard. Crew was strong, careful with my fence, and left the area cleaner than they found it.
