Request Free PickupOur Sustainable Lifecycle Process
Martinez has older downtown homes and newer hillside neighborhoods, and both have appliances that need a way out. Your request goes straight to local partners who repair, part out, or responsibly recycle appliances.
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 Martinez: What to Know
Martinez is the Contra Costa County seat, with a historic downtown along the Carquinez Strait. Older homes near Main Street sit next to newer neighborhoods in the hills and along Alhambra Avenue.
The older downtown houses often have basements, porches and narrow side yards. If the appliance is below or above ground level, say so in your request.
Refinery and county jobs bring steady rental turnover, which keeps used fridges and washers moving through the city.

What is free
Any appliance that is disconnected and located on the ground floor, in a garage, out on a driveway, or in a yard with clear, flat access.
