Our Sustainable Lifecycle Process
Free appliance pickup in Shively — from Dixie Highway ranches to quiet side streets off Cane Run Road.
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 Shively: What to Know
Shively's modest post-war homes along Dixie Highway and Cane Run Road often have carports and detached garages where spare fridges and freezers live — and where they eventually die. Garage freezers that quit in summer are one of the most common local pickups.
Many Shively homes have appliances in basements with exterior cellar doors, which actually makes removal easier. Mention whether your appliance is reachable through a cellar door or only through the house.
Working appliances from Shively cleanouts are in demand for refurbishment — the west end's rental market absorbs a steady supply of used washers, dryers and stoves.
