How to Get Rid of Old Appliances in Chicago

Local tips and resources for Chicago residents.

Call 311 for Chicago's Bulky Item Pickup

Chicago's Department of Streets and Sanitation (DSS) handles bulky item pickup through the 311 system. Call 311 or use the CHI311 app, provide your address and describe the items, and they'll request a pickup — typically within 5-7 business days. Major appliances, furniture, and mattresses are all eligible.

ComEd Appliance Recycling

ComEd (Commonwealth Edison), which serves northern Illinois including the Chicago metro, runs an appliance recycling program. Check comed.com for current rebate amounts and eligibility — they've historically offered incentives for recycling working refrigerators and freezers.

Illinois EPA Requirements

Illinois follows federal EPA Section 608 for refrigerant recovery. The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency enforces statewide. Chicago's code enforcement is active on illegal dumping — abandoned appliances in alleys are a recurring issue the city takes seriously. Every appliance we pick up goes through certified recycling.

Lake Michigan Winters and Appliance Wear

Chicago's lake-effect cold drives winter temperatures well below zero, putting enormous strain on furnaces, water heaters, and pipes. The freeze-thaw cycle in older Chicago construction — think three-flats in Logan Square, bungalows in Portage Park, and vintage greystone buildings across the South Side — is especially hard on basement-installed water heaters and laundry appliances. When winter takes out your water heater at 2 AM, get the replacement installed and let us handle removing the dead one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about free appliance pickup in Chicago.

What should I do before water heater pickup in Chicago?

+

Shut off the cold-water supply and attach a garden hose to the drain valve to empty the tank overnight. The Chicago crew will handle all disconnections on pickup day at no cost.

Will you take my old appliance when I'm getting a new one delivered in Chicago?

+

Yes. Many Chicago residents use us when the delivery service won't haul away the old unit, or when there are additional appliances to remove at the same time — all free.

Is there a limit to how many appliances you'll take for free in Chicago?

+

No limit. One fridge or an entire kitchen — everything is hauled away free at your Chicago address. There are no per-item charges and no cap on quantity.

Does your Chicago service reduce e-waste?

+

Yes. Appliances contain circuit boards, sensors, and wiring that become toxic e-waste in a landfill. Our mission in Chicago is to responsibly recycle and repurpose these components — keeping them out of the waste stream entirely.

Can you pick up a refrigerator from a Chicago rental property?

+

Yes. Property owners and authorized agents can book Chicago pickups for rental units. Note the property type in your request and make sure access is arranged before the crew arrives.
