Appliance Removal in South Florida 🧊

Appliance removal in South Florida involves details that a general junk hauler may miss: refrigerators still holding refrigerant must be handled by EPA Section 608 certified technicians, certain units need water supply lines safely isolated before moving, and condo buildings often have rules about appliances crossing lobby floors while connected to water supply. JunkRemovalFL handles these details correctly. We serve homeowners, property managers, and landlords across Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami. Units should be emptied and, where possible, disconnected before we arrive. If disconnection requires a licensed plumber or electrician, coordinate that step first — we handle the physical removal and responsible disposal once safety checks are complete.

Refrigerators and freezers manufactured after 1995 almost always contain HFC refrigerants (typically R-134a or R-410A) that cannot be vented to atmosphere under EPA Section 608. We use certified recovery equipment to capture refrigerant before any unit is transported or scrapped. This matters for two reasons: it is a legal requirement, and it affects where and how the unit can be recycled. Scrap metal recyclers in South Florida require proof of refrigerant recovery before accepting compressor-bearing appliances. We handle this process correctly so disposal is clean and compliant. Window AC units and portable AC units follow the same recovery requirement if they contain refrigerant. Units that are clearly non-functional and have been open to atmosphere for extended periods may be handled differently — we assess on site.

1. Call or book online. Tell us what appliances you have and confirm they are disconnected from power, water, and gas before we arrive. 2. We arrive with a dolly rated for appliance weight, moving straps, and floor protection. We assess the carry path (stairs, elevator rules, building dock requirements). 3. We give you a firm price, you approve, and we move the unit. We handle refrigerant recovery on site for applicable units before loading. 4. Responsible disposal — scrap recycling for metals, EPA-compliant processing for refrigerant-bearing units. For large appliance hauls (rental property turnovers, multifamily building upgrades), we coordinate scheduling to minimize disruption to building operations.
