Fridge and washing machine removal in Tallinn

Most often we remove fridges and freezers, but also washing machines and dishwashers, dryers, cookers and ovens, microwaves, water heaters, TVs and other larger electronics.

Appliances are problem products: they must not go with household waste or be dumped. They contain metal, plastic and electronics, and fridges also contain refrigerant that has to be handled separately. That is why we take them to an e-waste collection point, where they are dismantled properly.

Older fridges may contain refrigerant that must not get into the atmosphere. If the cooling circuit breaks while carrying, it leaks into the air. So we carry the fridge out intact and never cut off its pipes or compressor.

Before we arrive:

• switch the fridge off and let it defrost for at least a day;
• wipe up the meltwater so it does not run onto the floor while carrying;
• empty the shelves and drawers.

For a washing machine, close the water tap. We disconnect the hose ourselves and close the drain.

Handing in e-waste at a waste station is usually free, and when you buy a new appliance the seller often takes back the old one of the same type. If you have a car and the strength, you can take it there yourself.

What you pay us for is really the carrying and transport: getting a heavy fridge down from the fifth floor without a lift, a washing machine that does not fit in your car and the time you would spend driving to the waste station.

Removing several appliances at once is cheaper than one at a time. Starting prices are below.

Removing an old fridge often goes together with buying a new one. A few tips for a smooth swap:

• ask the shop whether they take the old appliance when delivering the new one. If they do, that may be the easiest option;
• if the shop does not, book us a day or two before the new appliance arrives, so the space is free and clean;
• measure the space after the old appliance is out, because older kitchens are not always standard sizes;
• check the connections: the hose or tap of an old washing machine may be worn and worth replacing for the new one.

If you replace several appliances at once, for example all the kitchen appliances, we take the old ones away in one go. That is cheaper than removing each one separately.
