A refrigerator or freezer can't just go out to the curb — the refrigerant sealed inside the compressor has to be recovered first under federal law, and that step happens on every pickup we run. The crew handles side-by-sides, French-door models, chest and upright freezers, dorm-sized mini fridges, and wine coolers, disconnecting each one and rolling it out of the kitchen, garage, or laundry room without scuffing the floor or knocking up a doorframe along the way. A unit that's still working and shows no real wear gets cleaned up, tested, and passed on to local families through a charity partner; anything not worth keeping gets broken down at a recycling facility so the metal, plastic, and glass stay out of a landfill. This comes up all the time during appliance upgrades, Fort Bliss PCS move-outs, and rental turnovers — we quote a single flat number up front and can usually be on-site the same day you call.
A standard fridge or freezer starts around $70 to $95. An oversized commercial unit, or one tucked somewhere hard to reach, can push that number up a bit — either way, the flat rate is confirmed before anything moves.
No — the crew handles the disconnect. Just have it emptied and unplugged beforehand so we can move straight to loading.
Yes — a clean, well-running unit gets passed to a charity partner that serves families around Socorro, instead of going to recycling.
We disconnect and haul the heavy ones — fridges, washers, dryers, swamp coolers, water heaters — and route the metal and refrigerant through EPA-compliant recycling.
Point at the pile — a packed spare room, a cleared-out garage, a corner of the yard — and our Socorro crew carries it to the truck and sweeps the spot before leaving.
Settling a family home in Socorro takes time; we work at your pace, setting keepsakes and documents aside and sending anything usable to a local donation center.
