Appliance Removal Across Pittsburgh
Old fridge, dead washer, busted dryer. We'll take it.
Steel City Cleanouts hauls old appliances (refrigerators, washers, dryers, stoves, dishwashers) across Pittsburgh, PA. Most appliance jobs take 20 to 40 minutes with a 2-person crew, and refrigerant is routed to a certified recycler. Same-day service available. Call (412) 226-4500.
Appliances are heavy, awkward, and nobody wants to carry a refrigerator down a basement staircase. We do this every day. Two-person crews show up with the right gear, protect your floors and doorways, and get that old appliance out of your house in under 30 minutes most of the time. We follow EPA guidelines for refrigerant recovery on fridges and freezers, so you don't have to worry about disposal rules or drop-off fees.
What a Typical Job Looks Like
Most Pittsburgh appliance removal jobs wrap up in 20 to 40 minutes. We arrive in a 2-person crew, lay down floor protection, unplug the appliance, pad-wrap it to protect walls and door jambs, and walk it out with an appliance dolly. Basement appliances come up the stairs on a stair-climbing dolly. Stacked washer/dryer combos get separated in place. Chest freezers get tipped and rolled. Once it's on the truck, we sweep the space it came from so you don't have to clean behind it. Payment is taken on the spot.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you take refrigerators and freezers?
Yes. We handle refrigerators, chest freezers, and stand-up freezers. We follow EPA guidelines for coolant recovery and the unit goes to a certified recycler. No separate dump fee.
Can you disconnect the appliance first?
Basic disconnects like unplugging a fridge, pulling a dryer plug, or disconnecting a washer supply hose are included. Gas line or hardwired electric removal should be done by a licensed plumber or electrician before we arrive.
What if the appliance is in the basement?
No problem. We haul basement fridges, washers, and freezers up steps all the time, including the old Pittsburgh row house bulkhead basements. Tell us where it is when you call and we'll bring the right crew and dolly.
Do you take multiple appliances at once?
Yes, and we discount them. Whole kitchen swaps (fridge + stove + dishwasher + microwave) and landlord turnovers (washer + dryer + fridge) get 10 to 25 percent off the combined single-item price.
Where does the old appliance go?
Scrap metal and working parts get pulled for recycling. Refrigerants are recovered under EPA rules. Everything we can't recycle goes to licensed disposal. We can send a receipt if you need it for records.
How do I get rid of an old refrigerator in Pittsburgh?
You can't put it at the curb. Pittsburgh trash collection won't take a refrigerator or freezer because of the refrigerant, and most transfer stations charge a separate freon-recovery fee on top of the dump fee. We haul it instead, recover the refrigerant under EPA rules, and send the shell to a scrap recycler. Basement fridges come up the stairs at no extra charge.
Will you haul away an old washer and dryer?
Yes. Washers, dryers, and stacked combos are our most common two-item job, quoted as one job rather than two pickups. We disconnect the supply hoses and the dryer plug ourselves. A gas dryer needs the gas line shut off and capped by a plumber before we arrive. Most laundry-room pickups take under 30 minutes.
Do you remove old water heaters?
Yes. Electric water heaters we disconnect and carry out ourselves. Gas water heaters need to be shut off and disconnected by a licensed plumber first, then we haul the tank. Both go to scrap metal recycling. Basement water heaters are standard work for us, stairs included.
Can you come the same day for appliance removal?
Usually yes. Single-appliance pickups are the easiest job to fit into a route, and we run 7 days a week across Allegheny and Butler counties. Call (412) 226-4500 in the morning and there is a good chance we can be there that afternoon. You get the exact price on the phone before we roll.
