About This Service

What is Appliance Removal?

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you disconnect appliances before removal?
We can disconnect most appliances including washing machines, dryers, and dishwashers. For gas appliances such as gas cooktops or gas dryers, we recommend having a licensed gas fitter disconnect the supply first for safety reasons. Electric appliances are disconnected as part of our standard service across Byron Bay and the Northern Rivers.
How much does fridge removal cost in Byron Bay?
Appliance removal pricing depends on the type and number of appliances and access conditions at your property. We provide free, no-obligation quotes and our pricing is upfront with no hidden fees. Refrigerant gas recovery is included as required by NSW law. Call 0468 000 922 for a fast quote — we service Byron Bay, Ballina, Tweed, and the wider Northern Rivers.
Can you remove a fridge or washer from upstairs?
Yes, our team is experienced with moving heavy appliances through stairs, tight hallways, and difficult access points — common in Queenslander homes and multi-level properties across the Northern Rivers. We take every precaution to avoid damage to your property. We're fully insured for your peace of mind.
What happens to old fridges and appliances after removal?
All appliances are taken to certified recycling facilities in the Northern Rivers. Refrigerant gases are safely extracted and recovered, metals are scrapped and recycled, and components are separated for material recovery. This is legally required for fridges and air conditioners in NSW, and we ensure full compliance. None of the hazardous materials end up in landfill or our local waterways.
Can you take multiple appliances in one visit?
Absolutely — in fact, we offer better value when removing multiple appliances in a single visit. Whether you're replacing all your kitchen appliances in Byron Bay or clearing out a rental property in Ballina, we'll quote the whole job at once. Call us for a free, no-obligation quote.
