“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.”

Appliance Removal in San Antonio
A standard refrigerator is $164 to remove, a washer $133, a tank water heater $131. The crew takes it out of the kitchen or garage, the refrigerant goes to certified recovery, and the metal goes to a recycler.
The City does accept large appliances — but only during your twice-a-year bulky week, and only at the curb. A dead fridge in August usually can’t wait that long.

Before the Crew Arrives
Unplug and Empty
Clear out food, unplug the unit, and shut off the ice-maker water line if there is one.
Gas and Hard-Wired Units
Gas ranges, gas dryers and hard-wired units should be disconnected by a licensed technician first. Our crews carry appliances; they don’t re-plumb them.
Drain the Water Heater
A full tank is far too heavy to move safely. Drain it, or have your plumber do it when the new one goes in.
