Our Sustainable Lifecycle Process
Santa Monica's mix of beach apartments and older homes means a steady stream of working appliances coming out of remodels. Submit two photos and your request routes to a technician who recovers and recycles appliances right here in Santa Monica.
1. Repair & Refurbish
Our first priority is always extending the life of the machine. If a unit has potential to make a come back, our team fixes, cleans, and refurbishes it so it can be safely reused.
2. Harvest & Recycle Parts
If an appliance is beyond repair, we don't throw it away. We carefully dismantle the unit to salvage valuable functional components, electronics, and mechanical parts to keep other household appliances running.
3. Responsible Scrap Salvage
As a strict last resort, machines that are completely stripped or entirely unusable are broken down into raw commodities. We separate the metals and materials safely, selling them as scrap to local recycling facilities.
Appliance Pickup in Santa Monica: What to Know

Beach-adjacent apartments rust appliances faster than anywhere else in the county — salt air eats refrigerator coils and washer cabinets. Photos help the technician judge whether a unit is worth refurbishing.
Many Santa Monica buildings have no elevator or tight rear stairs. Note your floor and access in the comments so the pickup crew arrives prepared.
