A local note for Northbrook
Northbrook's curbside hauler collects appliances only when the pickup is scheduled ahead, and there is a fee. We come inside and take the appliance from the kitchen, laundry room or basement. Illinois does not allow refrigerators, freezers or air conditioners in a landfill until the refrigerant and other regulated parts are removed, so those go to appliance recyclers and scrap processors. The rule is explained by the Illinois EPA.
Appliance removal: common questions
Do I need to empty the refrigerator?
Yes, please. Empty it and, if you can, unplug it the day before so it is defrosted and dry.
Can you take an appliance out of the basement?
Yes. Stairs are part of the job. Tell us how many steps and whether there is a turn, and we bring the right dolly.
Do you disconnect appliances?
Please have gas and water lines shut off and disconnected before pickup. We unplug and carry. If you are unsure, ask when you book.
My old appliance still works. Does it get thrown away?
Not if we can help it. Usable items go to donation and recycling partners where possible; the rest goes to licensed disposal facilities.
Can you pick up an appliance today?
Often, yes. We are open 24 hours, 7 days a week, with same-day and next-day windows. Call or text to check.
