Yes. If your schedule changes, contact us before the pickup window and we'll find a new time. We understand that life in South Lake Tahoe can be unpredictable — no rescheduling fees ever.

For most South Lake Tahoe pickups, leaving the appliance outside the morning of pickup is fine — overnight in certain neighborhoods carries a risk of theft or vandalism. If you need to set it out the night before, lock any access doors and leave a note on the appliance with your pickup confirmation.

Freon (CFC refrigerant) must be captured by EPA Section 608-certified technicians. For every South Lake Tahoe pickup that involves a refrigerant-containing appliance, we ensure compliant refrigerant recovery. The captured refrigerant is either reclaimed for reuse or destroyed — never vented into the atmosphere.

Tips are never expected or required. The South Lake Tahoe crew is compensated through our recycling operations. If you'd like to tip as a gesture of appreciation, that's entirely up to you — but please know it's not expected.

A standard refrigerator contains 100–200 lbs of steel, plus copper and aluminum from the compressor and coils. A washer yields 70–100 lbs of steel. When we pick up appliances in South Lake Tahoe, all of that metal gets reclaimed rather than buried in a landfill. Across hundreds of South Lake Tahoe pickups, the material recovery adds up significantly.
