Appliance Removal & Disposal in Ventura County

Old appliances are the heaviest, most awkward items in your house. A standard refrigerator weighs 200 to 300 pounds. A front-loading washer is even heavier. Try getting one of those down a narrow hallway, through a doorframe, and into a truck without a crew that knows what they're doing. That's before you even figure out where to take it — because your curbside trash service won't pick it up and most recycling centers require you to bring it to them yourself.

The Junk Wizards handles appliance removal from start to finish. We show up with the right equipment and enough muscle to move refrigerators, freezers, washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, stoves, ovens, ranges, microwaves, water heaters, and window AC units out of your home safely. We protect your floors, doorframes, and cabinets during the removal. Then we haul everything to the Simi Valley Recycling Center or another certified facility where metals, compressors, and components get properly recovered.

Refrigerators and freezers contain refrigerants that have to be handled by licensed professionals. You can't just roll an old fridge to the curb and hope for the best — it's actually illegal in California to dispose of refrigerant-containing appliances improperly. Our disposal chain ensures refrigerant recovery is done right. The Ventura County Household Hazardous Waste facility on Olivas Park Drive in Ventura also accepts certain appliance components, and we coordinate with them when needed.

Kitchen remodels are one of the biggest drivers of our appliance removal calls. A contractor rips out the old stove, dishwasher, and refrigerator, and suddenly you've got three large appliances sitting in your garage or driveway that need to go somewhere. Or maybe you upgraded to a new washer and dryer set and the delivery team wouldn't take the old ones. Either way, one call to (805) 316-1610 gets them gone — usually the same day.

We serve the entire Conejo Valley, Simi Valley, Moorpark, Camarillo, Ventura, Oxnard, and all of western LA County including the San Fernando Valley, Calabasas, and Agoura Hills. Being based in Thousand Oaks means we're never far from any of these communities. Same-day and next-day appointments are the norm, not the exception.

Working appliances in good condition don't have to go to a recycling facility. If your old washer still runs fine but you're upgrading, we can drop it at Goodwill, Salvation Army, or another local donation center. Giving a working appliance a second life is better for everybody — someone gets a washer they need, and one less appliance ends up being scrapped. Just let us know the situation when you call and we'll make the right call on where it goes.
