Appliance Removal Pittsburgh
The City of Pittsburgh won’t collect a refrigerator, freezer or anything else holding refrigerant at the curb, and Mt. Lebanon’s hauler takes one only with a sticker proving the refrigerant is already gone. We haul the whole unit, recovery included: a refrigerator is $164, a chest freezer $146.
Customer Reviews
Pittsburgh is one of JunkRabbit’s newest cities and hasn’t collected its own reviews yet, so these are real Google reviews left by Miami customers.
“Had a plan AND morning confirmation with [another junk remover] and they canceled last minute, an hour before. I was in a bind, and I called & texted the folks at JunkRabbit. They were fast, courteous and available on short notice.”
“Communication was excellent, the haulers were so fast and efficient and work so hard. Very grateful for the help today!!”
“Super smooth pickup of our couch. Timely and professional.”
One price per appliance covers the carry — out of the kitchen or up the cellar stair — plus refrigerant handling and recycling.

Fridges, freezers, dehumidifiers and window air conditioners must have their refrigerant recovered under federal rules before the shell is scrapped.
That step is the reason curbside programs refuse them — and it’s already included here.
Stoves, washers, dryers and hot water tanks are on the City’s list of accepted bulky items — within the two-per-week limit.
Anything containing Freon is excluded from City curbside collection altogether, whatever the count.
The township’s contractor takes appliances curbside, but a fridge or freezer needs a certification sticker showing the refrigerant was removed.
Each borough and township sets its own terms through its hauler. We take any appliance, anywhere in the area, from wherever it sits.
Plan on $164 for a standard fridge and $183 for a French-door or side-by-side unit. Refrigerant recovery is included.
City curbside collection excludes every appliance that contains Freon, because the refrigerant has to be recovered before disposal.

Unplug it and shut off any water line. Gas ranges and dryers should be disconnected by a licensed technician before pickup day.
