Professional Appliance Pickup and Disposal Service
Old appliances are heavy. They take up space you could use. And most Burlington garbage trucks will not touch them. A refrigerator, a broken stove, or an old washing machine cannot go in a regular trash bin. These machines hold metals, wiring, and cooling gases that need to be handled the right way. Rush Removal picks them up for you. We load them onto our truck and take them to the correct recycling or disposal site.
Our team carries each machine out from inside your home. You do not have to drag anything to the street. We protect your floors and doorframes while we work.

What We Pick Up and How We Do It
Our crew handles all types of appliances from kitchens, laundry rooms, basements, and garages. Each job gets the right tools. Here is a full breakdown of what we do.
Single Appliance Pickup
You may have just one item to get rid of. A countertop dishwasher. A compact fridge. A chest freezer. We pick up single items with no minimum load required. We disconnect the corroded copper condenser coil tubing and all attached metal fittings using a handheld heavy-duty ratcheting pipe and tube cutter tool so the unit comes free cleanly with no leaks. We drop the material off by the rules in Halton Region Waste Management By-law No. 10-09, Section 4.2, which sets the sorting standards for residential metal waste at local depots. Next, we sweep the spot where the appliance sat. This means your room is ready to use the same day we show up.
Urgent Same-Day Appliance Pickup
Your new fridge is being delivered this afternoon. Your old one is still in the kitchen. You need it gone before the truck pulls up. We keep same-day slots available for exactly this kind of situation. Our workers unclip the extruded polyethylene drain hose lines from the back of the unit using heavy-duty spring-loaded hose clamp pinch pliers so the floor stays dry while we move the machine. We park and load by the rules in Burlington City By-law 61-2015, Section 3, which sets the parking and access standards for service vehicles on residential streets. This means that we clear the old machine before your delivery arrives. After that, your kitchen is ready for the new one.
Washer and Dryer Pickup
A washing machine or dryer is built to last. That also makes it very hard to move. They are heavy, square, and difficult to grip on stairs. Our team pulls out the galvanized steel washing machine drum spinner and disconnects the water and power lines using a heavy-duty manual drum removal hub puller tool to reduce the overall weight before the lift. We carry the load under the safe handling standards in Ontario Occupational Health and Safety Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. O.1, Section 25(2)(h), which sets the rules for how workers must move heavy loads on residential property. Also, we use stair sliders and protective covers on tight corners. This means we get your laundry set out without marks on your walls.
Broken and Damaged Appliance Removal
A rusted chest freezer with a stuck lid. An oven with a shattered glass door. A washing machine that flooded the laundry room. We take broken appliances in any condition. We lift and carry out leaded glass oven control panel screens and cracked components using a heavy-duty suction-cup vacuum glass lifter handle to grip smooth surfaces without dropping any glass. We move these damaged parts under the rules in Ontario Environmental Protection Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. E.19, Section 14, which covers the lawful transport of broken or contaminated waste materials. This means you do not have to handle sharp or leaking appliances on your own. After that, we load and secure the pieces before we pull away.
Appliance Recycling and Material Recovery
Most kitchen and laundry appliances are made of steel, copper, and aluminium. All of that can be melted down and used again. We separate the brominated flame retardant plastic outer casings from the metal frame using an industrial hand-operated plastic casing dismantling shear so each material goes to the right facility. This process follows the rules in the Ontario Resource Recovery and Circular Economy Act, 2016, S.O. 2016, c. 12, Schedule 1, Section 5, which sets targets for how much appliance material must be diverted from Ontario landfills. Next, we sort the metal, plastic, and wiring into separate piles. This means your old appliance gets a second life instead of sitting in the ground.
Multi-Unit Appliance Clearing for Landlords
A rental unit with a broken stove or an abandoned freezer cannot be rented until that item is gone. When you manage a building, time costs money. We help landlords and property managers clear multiple units in one visit. We load out vitreous enamel coated steel stove tops and oversized kitchen units using a heavy-duty steel appliance hand truck with manual crawler treads to carry heavy loads down long hallways and over raised door sills. This work complies with City of Burlington Property Standards By-law 017-2018, Section 3.1.2, which requires landlords to remove abandoned appliances before new tenants take occupancy. This means your vacant unit passes inspection and goes back on the market sooner. After that, we send you a receipt for your files.
Working Appliance Donation Drop-Off
Not every old appliance needs to go to the scrap yard. If your stove or fridge still works and just does not fit your new kitchen, it may be better used by someone else. We pick up working units and take them to local donation centers. First, we clean the nickel-plated steel oven wire racks and all interior surfaces using a portable battery-powered high-pressure steam sanitizing machine to meet hygiene standards before the appliance goes anywhere. This step follows the Ontario Health Protection and Promotion Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. H.7, Section 13, which sets the health rules for donated household goods. Next, we deliver the clean machine directly to a local shelter or community organization. This means a working appliance gets used again instead of ending up in a recycling bin.
Refrigerator and Freezer Hauling
Fridges and freezers are two of the hardest appliances to throw out on your own. Standard dump sites will not accept them because they hold cooling gases that can harm the air when they leak. Our crew checks every unit before we load it. We scan the r-600a isobutane flammable refrigerant charge inside the cooling system using a commercial-grade digital refrigerant leak detector wand to confirm the unit is safe to move. We transport and dispose of it under the rules in Ontario Environmental Protection Act Regulation 463/10, Section 6, which governs the handling of ozone-depleting substances in Ontario. Next, we close the doors shut with a strap and roll the unit out. This means your old fridge leaves without a safety issue or a bylaw fine.

Questions We Get Asked About Appliance Removal in Burlington
How much does it cost to have an appliance removed in Burlington?

Yes. We inspect every refrigerator and freezer before we move it. We are trained to handle units with refrigerant gas safely and legally under Ontario regulations.

Yes. We keep same-day slots available for urgent jobs. Call us in the morning to check availability for that day.

Steel, aluminium, and copper go to local scrap metal and recycling processors. Working units that meet donation standards go to local charities. Broken or hazardous parts go to licensed waste facilities.
