Request Free PickupOur Sustainable Lifecycle Process
San Francisco has every kind of home, from Sunset District houses over garages to Victorian flats and high-rise apartments.
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 San Francisco: What to Know
In the Sunset, Richmond, and Excelsior, many homes have a garage at street level under the house, and that's where old washers, dryers, and spare fridges usually sit. Those are the easiest pickups in the city.
Parking is the biggest challenge in San Francisco. Let the partner know if there's a driveway they can use, or if street parking is tight on your block.
Flats and apartments often mean stairs. Mention the floor and whether there's an elevator so the partner can confirm any fee with you first.
How This Service Is Funded
Our service is entirely funded by overhauling, refurbishing, and completely rebuilding the appliances we collect. By fixing broken units with new parts and harvesting functional components for reuse, we generate enough value to keep standard local residential removals 100% free of charge.
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.
When a small fee applies
A reasonable labor or handling fee may only apply if a technician has to haul heavy units up or down flights of stairs, or extract built-in appliances (like built-in refrigerators or dishwashers). All terms are confirmed with you directly before arrival.
