Apex, NC (Abbington, Amherst, Beckett Crossing, Carriage Downs, Ellington Place, Haddon Hall, Lexington, Salem Oaks, Salem Village, Scotts Mill, The Villages of Apex, Waterford Green)
Fridges, Washers, Dryers, Dishwashers & More — Disconnected, Carried Out, and Hauled Away. No Bulk Pickup Timing. Local 919 Crew.
Appliances are some of the most frustrating items to get rid of. They're too heavy to move alone. They don't fit in a regular trash bin. Bulk collection days come once a month — if you miss the window, the appliance sits in your garage or laundry room for weeks. And if you manage to get it to the curb, it can sit there attracting violations from the HOA while you wait for the collection truck.
There's also the disconnection problem. A washing machine with a water line still attached doesn't just tip out. A gas stove needs proper disconnection before it moves anywhere. A side-by-side refrigerator is 300 pounds and won't fit through a standard doorway without removing the doors first. These aren't obstacles you want to discover halfway through a Saturday afternoon DIY haul.
Triangle Junk Removal handles appliance removal in Apex, NC from start to finish. We disconnect the unit, carry it out of the kitchen, laundry room, or garage, load it to the truck, and haul it away responsibly — without you having to deal with any of the logistics. Same-day service is frequently available, which means you don't have to wait a month for bulk pickup day or spend a weekend playing Tetris with a broken dryer in your driveway.
We haul all major household appliances — electric and gas — from wherever they're sitting. Not sure if we take it? Call (984) 254-3606.
Full-size fridges, side-by-sides, French door models, chest freezers, and mini-fridges. Refrigerators are among the heaviest and most awkward appliances to remove — we handle door removal when needed to clear tight kitchen exits and haul them away properly so refrigerant is disposed of according to EPA regulations.
Top-load and front-load washers, including stacked laundry units. We disconnect water supply lines and drain hoses before moving. Washing machines can weigh 150–200 pounds and often sit in tight laundry closets — we plan the carry path before we start pulling.
Electric and gas dryers, including stacked units. Gas dryers require disconnection at the gas line before removal — we handle this carefully and make sure the line is properly capped before we move anything. Electric dryers are disconnected from the 240V outlet and hauled without the guesswork.
Built-in and portable dishwashers. Built-in models require disconnection from the water supply, drain line, and electrical — plus removal of the mounting brackets before the unit will slide out. We handle the full disconnection so you're not left with a half-removed dishwasher and a leak.
Electric ranges, gas ranges, wall ovens, and double ovens. Gas stoves are disconnected at the supply line and capped before removal. We slide the range out, clear the space, and haul it — leaving the kitchen ready for the new appliance or a cleaning crew.
Over-the-range microwaves, countertop microwaves, and other bulky small appliances — air fryers, bread makers, large coffee machines, and anything else taking up counter or cabinet space you want back. Usually added on to a larger pickup at no extra charge.
Window air conditioners, portable AC units, and dehumidifiers that are too heavy or awkward to toss in a regular bin. Common in older Apex homes without central air or in finished basements where moisture control equipment has outlived its usefulness.
Tank water heaters that have been replaced and are sitting in the garage or utility room. Heavy, bulky, and awkward to move through tight spaces — we disconnect, carry out, and haul them properly.
Extra fridges, chest freezers, and old appliances stored in Apex garages that never made it back into the house. One of the most common single-item pickups we do — a quick in-and-out from the garage with same-day availability most days.
The weight is the obvious challenge. A refrigerator typically weighs 200–300 pounds. A washing machine runs 150–200 pounds. A gas range can be 130–200 pounds. These aren't items two people can casually tilt and slide without risking a back injury, a damaged floor, or a scuffed door frame.
But the bigger complications are usually the connections. A dishwasher that's still connected to its water supply line and mounting screws won't slide out cleanly — and if you force it, you risk a water leak inside the cabinet cavity. A gas dryer that gets moved before the gas line is properly disconnected and capped is a genuine safety hazard. A refrigerator with refrigerant still in the compressor can't legally go into most landfills — it requires proper handling under EPA Section 608 regulations.
We know all of this going in. We don't just show up and start pulling. We assess the appliance, the connections, and the carry path before anything moves. Electric disconnections are handled properly. Gas lines are capped. Water lines are disconnected and drained. Refrigerant-containing appliances go to certified recycling facilities that recover the refrigerant before disposal. The whole job gets done correctly, not just quickly.
Apex homes also present specific access challenges. Many kitchens in neighborhoods like Carriage Downs, Salem Oaks, and Haddon Hall were designed when appliances were smaller. Getting a modern French door refrigerator out of a kitchen with a 30-inch doorway means removing the fridge doors first. Laundry closets in Scotts Mill and Villages of Apex townhomes are tight — a front-load washer in a stacked configuration requires careful disassembly before the unit can be carried through the hallway. We've seen all of these situations and we plan for them before we start.
We price by truck volume and carry complexity — not by the hour.
$100–$180
One unit — a fridge, washer, dryer, or stove. Price varies based on size, weight, disconnection complexity, and carry distance from the room to the truck.
$200–$320
A washer and dryer pair, a fridge and stove, or a few units from the garage. Common when updating a kitchen or laundry room all at once.
$300–$600
Appliances plus furniture or other junk in the same pickup. We fill the truck efficiently so you're not paying for two separate trips when one will do.
Prices are estimates. Final price is confirmed on site after we assess volume, weight, and carry distance. Nothing gets loaded until you approve the number..
Tell us which appliances need to go, where they are in the home, and whether any are gas-connected or still running. We give you a quick estimate range and confirm same-day availability.
Our local 919 crew shows up, assesses the connections and carry path, locks in the final price, and handles all disconnections before moving anything. No surprises, no safety shortcuts.
We carry the appliance out of the kitchen, laundry room, or garage, load it to the truck, and sweep up before we leave. Refrigerant-containing units go to certified recycling facilities.
Appliance disposal in Wake County has real environmental rules attached to it — particularly around refrigerant. Refrigerators, freezers, window AC units, and dehumidifiers all contain refrigerants that must be recovered by a certified technician before the unit can be shredded or crushed. We route all refrigerant-containing appliances to facilities equipped to handle this properly, in compliance with EPA Section 608 regulations.
For working appliances in good condition — a functioning washer, a fridge that still cools, a stove that still heats — we check with local donation partners in Wake County before heading to disposal. Habitat for Humanity ReStore and similar organizations accept working appliances when capacity allows. If your unit is still functional, there's a real chance it gets donated rather than disposed of. Let us know that matters to you when you call and we'll be honest about whether your specific unit qualifies.
Non-working appliances that can't be donated are sent to metal recycling facilities. Appliances are largely steel and aluminum — both have strong recycling markets and don't need to go to a landfill. We make the effort to keep as much as possible out of the waste stream.
We remove appliances from homes, condos, townhomes, and garages across Apex, NC (Abbington, Amherst, Beckett Crossing, Carriage Downs, Ellington Place, Haddon Hall, Lexington, Salem Oaks, Salem Village, Scotts Mill, The Villages of Apex, Waterford Green).
A single appliance — fridge, washer, dryer, or stove — typically runs $100–$180 depending on size, weight, and how far it needs to be carried to the truck. A washer and dryer pair usually comes in at $200–$280. When appliances are part of a larger pickup with furniture or other junk, we price the whole load by truck volume, which is often more cost-effective than separate trips. We confirm the exact price on site before anything gets moved. Call (984) 254-3606 for a quick estimate.
Yes — disconnection is part of the service. We disconnect water supply and drain lines on washers and dishwashers. Gas lines on gas ranges and dryers are properly disconnected and capped before the unit moves. Refrigerators get their doors removed when needed to clear tight doorways. We don't ask you to handle the disconnection yourself — that's part of why you're calling us instead of doing it solo.
Yes. Gas appliance removal is something we handle regularly in Apex homes. We shut off the gas supply at the valve, disconnect the flex line, and cap the line before the appliance moves an inch. We do not rush gas disconnections. If you're ever unsure whether the supply valve is accessible or in good working order, let us know when you call so we can plan accordingly. Safety first — always.
Yes, including from kitchens where the fridge barely fits through the doorway. Many Apex homes — particularly in older neighborhoods like Carriage Downs, Salem Oaks, and Abbington — have kitchen doorways that are 30–32 inches wide, which is narrower than many modern refrigerators. We remove the fridge doors first when needed to clear the opening, then reinstall them after the unit is out if the fridge is staying in the home — or just haul the whole unit if it's going. We've done this enough times that it's not a surprise to us.
Refrigerant-containing appliances — refrigerators, freezers, window AC units, and dehumidifiers — are routed to certified appliance recycling facilities that recover the refrigerant before shredding or crushing the unit. This is required under EPA Section 608 regulations. We don't take shortcuts on this. Your old fridge doesn't get crushed in a general scrapyard — it goes somewhere equipped to handle the refrigerant correctly.
Yes. Stacked laundry units in townhome closets — common in Scotts Mill, Villages of Apex, and similar Apex communities — require the dryer to come off the top first, then the washer to be disconnected and slid out of the closet. The closet itself is usually tight, and the hallway leading out often isn't much better. We plan the sequence before we start so the job doesn't turn into a drywall repair situation. Let us know it's a stacked unit in a closet when you call.
Yes, and it's one of our most frequent single-item pickups. The extra fridge that's been in the garage since 2014. The chest freezer from the previous owners. The old washer that got replaced but never made it out of the house. Garage appliance removals are usually straightforward — easy access, no stairs, quick load. Same-day is almost always available for a single garage appliance. Call (984) 254-3606 and we can often be there today.
