What Counts as Furniture and Appliance Removal
Furniture and appliance removal means hauling away large household items you can no longer use, sell, or fit through your door on your own. This covers soft furniture like couches and mattresses, hard furniture like dressers and tables, and large appliances like refrigerators and washing machines. Most of these items are too heavy or awkward for one person to move, and several, like refrigerators and air conditioners, require special handling before they can legally be recycled.
Furniture We Remove
Couches and Sectionals. Large sectionals often need to come apart at the frame to fit through a standard door or down a narrow adobe hallway. Our crew carries the tools to break them down on site.
Mattresses and Box Springs. We take mattresses and box springs together or separately, and we keep them out of illegal dump sites along arroyos and open land outside the city.
Dressers, Tables, and Bed Frames. Solid wood furniture is heavy and awkward on stairs. We wrap and carry these pieces carefully to avoid scuffing walls or door frames.
Pianos and Pool Tables. These are two of the heaviest household items to move safely. Our crew has the equipment and experience to remove upright pianos and disassemble pool tables for haul away, jobs most general movers will not take on.
Appliances We Remove
Refrigerators and Freezers. Refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioners contain refrigerant that must be professionally removed before the unit can be recycled. We handle this the right way, in line with Santa Fe Solid Waste Management Agency requirements, so your old fridge does not end up rejected at the drop off point.
Washers and Dryers. We remove washers and dryers from laundry rooms, garages, and rental units, and recycle the metal wherever possible.
Stoves, Ovens, and Dishwashers. Gas or electric, built in or free standing, our crew disconnects and removes kitchen appliances without damaging cabinets or flooring.
TVs and Small Electronics. Old televisions and small electronics are sent to certified recyclers rather than the landfill, following Environmental Protection Agency guidance on responsible e-waste handling.
Junk Removal Santa Fe, NM vs. the City’s Large Item Pickup
The City of Santa Fe offers a Large Item Pickup program for residents, and it is worth knowing how it compares before you decide how to get rid of your old furniture or appliances.
| | Junk Removal Santa Fe, NM | City Large Item Pickup |
|---|
| Cost | Flat, upfront price | $33.33 for 8 cubic yards, plus $4.17 per extra cubic yard |
| Wait time | Same day in most cases | Typically a 2 to 4 week wait, once monthly |
| Who carries it | Our crew loads and carries everything | You must carry items to the curb yourself, and they must be empty |
| Appliances with refrigerant | Accepted, handled properly | Must already have refrigerant removed before pickup |
| Electronics | Accepted | Not accepted |
| Eligibility | Any Santa Fe or Santa Fe County property | Residential customers only, and the account must be current |
The city program is a solid option if you can wait a few weeks and do not mind hauling items to the curb yourself. If you need it gone today, have appliances that still need refrigerant removed, or have electronics and items the city will not take, that is where we come in.
How Pricing Works for Furniture and Appliance Pickup
Pricing depends on how much space your items take up and how they need to be handled. A single couch or mattress costs far less than a truckload of furniture from a full home. Refrigerators and other items with refrigerant may include a small added fee to cover proper handling. We confirm the price with you before we start loading, based on photos or an in person look, so there are no surprises once the truck is full.
How It Works
- Text or call us a photo. We give you a real price in minutes, no in person sales visit required.
- Pick your time. Same day, next day, or scheduled ahead, confirmed by a real person on our team.
- We carry, load, and haul it away. Usable furniture goes to donation centers, metal and appliances go to recycling, and anything left goes to Caja del Rio Landfill.
Frequently Asked Questions About Furniture and Appliance Removal in Santa Fe
Does the City of Santa Fe pick up old furniture and appliances for free?
Not for free, but close. The city’s Large Item Pickup program charges a small fee based on volume, and items must be empty and carried to the curb yourself. It also runs on a monthly schedule, so the wait can be a few weeks.
Do you remove refrigerators and air conditioners?
Yes. These appliances contain refrigerant that has to be removed by a trained professional before they can be recycled, and we handle that step properly instead of leaving it for you to figure out.
Will you take my mattress and box spring together?
Yes, we remove them together or separately, whichever you need, and we make sure they are disposed of properly rather than left illegally on open land.
Do I need to empty my furniture before pickup?
No. Unlike the city’s large item program, you do not need to empty drawers or clear anything out. Just let us know if there is anything personal still inside so we can set it aside.
Can you remove a piano or pool table?
Yes. Both require extra care and, in most cases, some disassembly. Let us know ahead of time so we can send a crew with the right equipment.
