Refrigerator Removal in Weatogue, Connecticut

How much does it cost to remove appliances? Hiring a professional junk-removal company to dispose of a single household appliance typically costs $75–130. Adding a second appliance or a large piece of furniture might increase costs to $90–140.

First things first: be sure to remove the contents and unplug your refrigerator 6 to 8 hours before moving it. Plan ahead! Make sure you have access to a truck. It's also helpful to have a dolly, hand truck, and moving straps at your disposal.

Connecticut has specific recycling fees, most notably a visible $16 fee on all new mattresses/box springs as of 2025, funding the state's mattress recycling program. Local recycling centers may charge other fees for specific items like appliances, brush, or demolition debris, often varying by town (e.g., Woodbridge charges $10 for refrigerant appliances, New Milford charges businesses for recyclables). General household recycling is often covered by local taxes or disposal fees, but some transfer stations have tonnage or per-item charges for bulkier waste.

As an alternative, residents can drop off mattresses/box springs for a fee at the New Haven Transfer Station, 260 Middletown Ave., 203-946-8109, or at Milford Waste Conversion Technologies, 221 Old Gate Lane, 203-882-5840. For fee information, call the phone numbers.
