Old appliances are heavy, awkward to move, and can't just go out with the regular trash. Albemarle Moving and Junk Removal makes it easy — we show up, disconnect and haul everything away, and give working appliances a second life by donating them to local families in Central Virginia before anything goes to a recycling facility. Call 434-230-4551 for same-day availability or to schedule a pickup at your convenience. Open 24/7.

Why Not Just Leave It at the Curb?
In Charlottesville and Albemarle County, most appliances — especially those containing refrigerants like freon — cannot legally be disposed of in regular curbside trash. Improperly dumped appliances can result in fines and environmental harm. We handle the whole process correctly, from disconnect to destination, so you don't have to research your county's specific rules or coordinate drop-off appointments at a recycling facility.
Working Appliances Go to Families First
Before any appliance goes to a recycling facility or disposal, we assess its condition. Refrigerators, washers, dryers, and other appliances that are still functional get donated to local families in need across Central Virginia. Our crew knows the difference between "done" and "just unwanted," and we treat your old appliance accordingly. This is the core of our donate-first mission — in 2025 alone, we helped over 30 local families.

Frequently Asked Questions — Appliance Removal
How much does it cost to have a refrigerator removed in Charlottesville?
A single refrigerator pickup starts at $149. If you're removing multiple appliances at the same time, the quarter truck ($249) or half truck ($329) rates offer better value.
Will you take a washer and dryer together?
Yes. A washer-dryer set typically falls into the quarter truck tier at $249. We haul both in a single trip and sort for donation if the units are still functional.
Can you haul appliances with freon?
Yes. We haul refrigerators, freezers, and window AC units that contain refrigerants and handle proper disposal in accordance with applicable regulations.
Do you remove appliances from upstairs or in tight spaces?
Yes. Our crew handles stairs, narrow hallways, and tight spaces as part of the standard job. No extra charges for difficult access — just let us know what we're working with when you call.
Can I combine appliance removal with other junk?
Absolutely. Our truck-load pricing covers mixed loads — appliances, furniture, general clutter, whatever you need gone. It all gets sorted the same way and hauled in one trip.
