Appliance Removal in Pflugerville
Appliance Removal in Pflugerville
A value-minded family suburb northeast of Austin (78660) — two-car-garage homes where the old fridge goes to sit when the new one arrives. We disconnect it, carry it out and haul it at a flat published price — fridge $164, washer $133, dryer $128 — often the same day your delivery truck comes. Refrigerant handled to EPA code, disposal included, no call-for-a-quote runaround.

How it works in Pflugerville
1 · Photo of the unit
Fridge in the kitchen, washer in the laundry closet, the dead water heater in the garage — one photo, flat price back in seconds. No in-home estimate appointment.
2 · Book around the delivery
Tell us the retailer's window and we schedule against it, so the old unit leaves the day the new one lands — not three months later from the garage.
3 · Disconnected, dollied, gone
Hoses off, vent freed, doors padded, floors protected. Onto the dolly, into the truck, and the refrigerant handled properly downstream.
How much does appliance removal cost in Pflugerville?
Flat by item, all published — this is a suburb that comparison-shops, and we like our odds when the number is right on the page.
| Item | Flat price |
|---|---|
| Refrigerator | $164 |
| Refrigerator (large / French-door) | $183 |
| Washer | $133 |
| Dryer | $128 |
| Washer + dryer together | $225 |
| Dishwasher | $109 |
| Water heater (tank) | $131 |
| Range / oven (electric) | $134 |
| Upright freezer | $149 |
| Window AC unit | $79 |
$75 minimum. The price includes the disconnect of a standard unplugged unit (hoses, vent), the carry-out from kitchen, laundry room or garage, floor protection, and disposal with refrigerant recovery where required. Gas lines need a plumber's cap first; we'll tell you before booking, not at the door. Clearing several units — the garage fridge, the dead W/D set and the old water heater at once — often prices better as a quarter-truck load at $241.
5 ways to lose an appliance in Pflugerville
| Option | Cost | Speed | The catch |
|---|---|---|---|
| City bulk collection day | In the utility bill | The scheduled date | Pflugerville runs its own contracted pickup (not Austin's on-demand system) — and refrigerant units must be professionally evacuated and tagged first, a separate errand |
| Retailer haul-away | $25–60 typical, their terms | With delivery | Many crews refuse units that aren't fully disconnected and dry — and the garage spare isn't part of the deal at all |
| Scrap-metal picker | Free, maybe | Unpredictable | Wants the compressor and copper — refrigerant venting by amateurs is exactly what EPA 608 exists to prevent, and the HOA sees the fridge at the curb meanwhile |
| Self-haul | Truck + gate fees | Half a Saturday | A fridge is a two-person dolly job, and the gate bills a two-ton minimum (~$60/ton, TDS 2025) |
| JunkRabbit | $107–$246 flat | Same-day / delivery window | None — disconnected, hauled, refrigerant to code |
Does Pflugerville pick up old appliances?
On its own schedule, with a catch. First, the geography: Pflugerville is not the City of Austin — 78660 households are on Pflugerville's contracted collection, so Austin Resource Recovery's on-demand bulk request (the program most search results describe) doesn't apply here. Bulk items go out on the city's scheduled collection dates, and between dates the HOA-belt subdivisions from Falcon Pointe to Blackhawk police what sits at the curb.
Second, the refrigerant problem: a fridge, freezer or AC unit can't just go to the curb — the refrigerant has to be professionally evacuated and the unit tagged before most programs will load it. That's a real technician, a real cost, and a real reason the dead garage fridge is still in the garage.
Our price folds all of that in: the disconnect, the carry, the EPA Section 608 refrigerant recovery, and the metal recycling at the end. One number, one visit, no curb.
What we haul
- Refrigerators and freezers — kitchen units, the garage spare, the chest freezer from the Costco era; refrigerant recovered to code.
- Washers and dryers — disconnected, vent freed, carried from the laundry closet; the pair together at $225.
- Dishwashers and ranges — remodel swap-outs, pulled after the installer disconnects hardwired units.
- Water heaters — the garage tank at $176, hauled once the plumber's done.
- Window and portable ACs — $107, refrigerant handled like the big units.
- The multi-unit clear — everything above in one quarter-truck load when the garage finally gets its turn.
What happens to the old unit
An appliance is mostly steel, and steel has a market — so the honest afterlife is recycling, not a landfill. First, refrigerant recovery: fridges, freezers and AC units have their refrigerant evacuated and documented by an EPA-certified technician, as Section 608 requires — that cost is inside our flat price, not a surprise line. Then the metal goes to scrap recovery, working units in genuinely good shape route toward reuse, and electronic controls go to e-waste streams. The part of the fridge that ends up in a landfill is close to nothing.
The Pflugerville specifics we plan around
The delivery window is the appointment. Most 78660 bookings are timed to a retailer's drop-off — we schedule against the same window so the swap happens in one afternoon. The garage is the waiting room: when the old unit "temporarily" moves to the garage, it stays for years; half our Pflugerville jobs start with "it's been out there since the last one." The subdivisions are HOA country — Falcon Pointe, Blackhawk, Highland Park and the newer builds along Weiss Lane all prefer their curbs empty, and our from-the-garage pickup keeps them that way. And the value math matters here: this is a suburb that checks three prices before booking one, which is exactly why ours are printed on the page.

- Delivery-window scheduling — old unit out the day the new one lands.
- Real disconnects — hoses, vents and dollies handled; gas and hardwired flagged honestly up front.
- EPA-code refrigerant recovery — inside the price, documented.
- Steel recycled — the honest afterlife for an appliance.
- HOA-safe — from the garage to the truck, never via the curb.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does appliance removal cost in Pflugerville?
Flat by item, published: refrigerator $164 (large $246), washer $133, dryer $128, washer/dryer combo together $167, dishwasher $109, tank water heater $131, electric range $128, upright freezer $149, window AC $79. $75 minimum; the disconnect of a standard unplugged unit, the carry-out and disposal are all included — no call-for-a-quote games.
Does Pflugerville's trash service take appliances?
Only on its terms: Pflugerville runs its own contracted collection — this is not Austin, so Austin Resource Recovery's on-demand program doesn't apply — and bulk items go out on scheduled collection dates. Refrigerant appliances are the sticking point: a fridge, freezer or AC unit must have the refrigerant professionally evacuated and tagged before most curbside programs will touch it, which is a separate errand and cost. We handle the refrigerant recovery to EPA Section 608 as part of the flat price.
Can you come when my new appliance is delivered?
Yes — that's the most common Pflugerville booking. Retail delivery crews often won't take the old unit, or charge for it; schedule us against the delivery window and the old fridge or washer leaves the same day the new one arrives, instead of moving into the garage indefinitely.
Do you disconnect the appliance?
Standard unplugged disconnects — fridge, washer, dryer — yes, including the water hoses and dryer vent. Gas appliances need the gas line capped by a plumber first; hardwired units like some cooktops and water heaters need an electrician or plumber to free them, and then we haul.
What happens to the old appliance?
Refrigerant is recovered and documented by an EPA-certified technician, then the steel — which is most of an appliance by weight — goes to metal recycling. Working units in genuinely good shape route toward reuse first. Nothing gets dumped.
How fast can you come?
Same-day is often available in 78660 — crews run the north corridor daily — and delivery-window bookings are scheduled to the hour the retailer gives you.
