Appliance Removal in Sarasota — Safe, Insured, Recycled
Fridges, ranges, washers, dryers and water heaters — we disconnect them safely, get them out without dinging your trim, and recycle responsibly.
Old appliances can't just go to the curb.
Refrigerators, freezers and A/C units contain refrigerants that Florida requires be recovered before disposal, and most haulers won't touch them. Anchor Services disconnects, removes and routes each unit to the right recycler or scrap channel — so your new appliance gets installed and the old one leaves the same day, legally.
- Safe disconnect of electric, gas and water lines
- Door, floor and stair protection
- Refrigerant-compliant disposal of refrigerators and freezers
- Recycling at certified Florida facilities
What's included with every appliance removal job.
One crew, one price, one visit — here's what you get on every Sarasota-area job we take.
We look at the job in person or by photo and quote it before any work starts.
Labor, loading, fuel, disposal fees and clean-up are all inside one written number.
You point, we lift. Our crew carries everything out — no dragging items to the curb.
Usable items go to local Sarasota charities and recyclers before anything sees a landfill.
We sweep the space when the truck is loaded so the area is ready to use again.
Background-checked, uniformed crews and full coverage on every Sarasota-area job.
How an Anchor Services job works
Call or send the form with a few photos or a quick description of the job.
We confirm a window that works for you and give a firm written price on arrival.
Our crew loads, hauls and protects your floors, walls and landscaping as we go.
We sweep up, walk the space with you and send photo confirmation when requested.
Straightforward pricing by load size.
Transparent, upfront pricing for Sarasota homeowners — you see the price before we lift a single item.
One refrigerator, washer, dryer, range or water heater removed and recycled responsibly.
Swapping out a few units at once — we haul the old ones the same day the new ones arrive.
A complete kitchen or laundry set cleared during a remodel, including hauling old cabinetry fixtures.
Refrigerant-containing units are handled by certified recyclers. Water lines and gas lines must be professionally disconnected before pickup. Request a custom quote.
Three variables that change your cost
No two jobs are alike. Here's how we build a fair, custom quote for every Sarasota property we serve.
You pay for the truck space your items actually take up — not a flat guess. A few boxes cost a fraction of a full load.
Heavy or awkward material (concrete, tile, hot tubs, safes, roofing debris) and disassembly take more crew time than bagged household clutter.
Ground-floor driveway pickups are quickest. Stair carries, elevators, gated communities and rush same-day scheduling add time to the job.
We look at the job, give you a firm written price, and that's what you pay. Labor, loading, fuel, disposal and clean-up are all inside the number — no surprise line items when we're done.
Estimates are free and there's nothing to sign. If the price isn't right for you, we shake hands and go — and you can call us back whenever you're ready.
