Can Spartan take my old fridge?

Yes. Spartan Junk Removal does fridge removal and appliance disposal across Surrey and Metro Vancouver: fridges, freezers, washers, dryers, stoves and more. The crew carries it out on dollies. Fridges, freezers and A/C units go to a certified recycler that recovers the refrigerant before the metal is recycled.

Appliances can’t just go to the dump.

They’re banned from Metro Vancouver garbage, and fridges, freezers and A/C units hold refrigerant that a certified recycler has to recover. They’re also heavy and awkward on stairs. We carry them out on dollies and take each one to the right recycler.

Everything, start to sweep.

Appliance disposal in Metro Vancouver

Electronics and metal appliances are on Metro Vancouver’s disposal ban list, so they can’t go out with your garbage. Dropping them off yourself is free.

Large metal and refrigeration appliances are accepted free at Metro Vancouver recycling and waste centres such as Central Surrey and Langley, up to four refrigeration units per visit.
The Major Appliance Recycling Roundtable lists other free drop-off sites.
Gas appliances need the line shut off and capped by a licensed gas fitter, and hardwired units disconnected by an electrician, before anyone moves them.

Good to know

A surcharge may apply for some items on this kind of job, such as fridges and freezers, air conditioners and dehumidifiers.

In-unit labour may apply when items are upstairs, in elevators or in backyards, based on access and distance.

Either way, it’s part of your estimate before anything moves.

About surcharges

What affects the cost of appliance removal

Every job is quoted free at your door. These are the things that move your estimate, and how to keep it down.

Refrigerant

Fridges, freezers, air conditioners and dehumidifiers go to a certified recycler to recover the refrigerant, so they carry a surcharge. Washers, dryers, stoves and dishwashers don’t.

To lower it: Replacing a fridge? Clear the washer, dryer or stove in the same visit while we’re there.
Where it sits

A fridge in a basement suite or an upstairs laundry takes more carrying than one in the garage, so in-unit labour may apply.

To lower it: If it’s already in the garage, on the driveway or in an open carport, that counts as curbside: 15% off.
Ready to move

A unit that’s still connected to gas, power or water can’t be moved until a licensed trade disconnects it.

To lower it: Book the gas fitter or electrician before pickup day so we can finish in one visit.

How to get ready for fridge and appliance removal

Empty the fridge or freezer; we can’t take the food inside.
Unplug it a day ahead to defrost, with the door ajar and a towel underneath.
Shut off the water valve to any washer or fridge water line.
Have gas lines capped by a licensed gas fitter, and hardwired units disconnected by an electrician.
Clear a path to the door and move anything fragile out of the way.

Where it all goes.

Appliances are banned from Metro Vancouver garbage. Units with refrigerant go to facilities that recover it safely, and the metal is recycled. Working appliances may be donated.

Just call them. They make your heaviest most problematic junk disappear like magic. We had an amazing experience with Spartan Junk Removal! Easy to schedule and super speedy response. Stress free, awesome service, plus great humour. We had a bunch of old equipment that needed to be gone. It was quite a big job but they took care of absolutely everything from start to finish. They were so efficient and all the heavy lifting was done so quick and our space was taken care of. They totally made this stressful job feel completely effortless. Everything was cleared out in no time like magic. And it’s so rare to find genuine people to work with these days and just couldn’t be happier with these folks. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable team that’s got your back. You won’t regret this.

Appliance Removal questions

Do you disconnect gas or hardwired appliances?

For safety, gas lines must be shut off and capped by a licensed gas fitter, and hardwired units disconnected by an electrician, before we remove them.

Why do fridges cost extra?

The refrigerant has to be recovered, so fridges and freezers go on a separate trip to a certified appliance recycler. The surcharge covers that trip.

Will you take a working appliance?

Yes, and if it is in good shape we try to donate it.

Is it free to drop a fridge off myself?

Metro Vancouver recycling and waste centres such as Central Surrey and Langley accept large metal and refrigeration appliances free, up to four refrigeration units per visit. Book us when you’d rather not move it yourself.

Do I need to defrost the freezer first?

Please empty it, and if you can, unplug it a day ahead so it isn’t dripping on the way out. We can’t take the food inside.

Do you take water heaters?

Yes, once it’s drained and a licensed trade has disconnected the gas or power.
