What Is Freon-Safe Fridge Removal?
Fridge and freezer removal in Toronto requires CFC/HFC refrigerant recovery before any compressor leaves a property - mandatory under Ontario Regulation 463/10 of the Environmental Protection Act. Our technicians use EPA 608-certified recovery equipment and log every refrigerant transfer to a licensed Ontario refrigerant reclaimer. A WSIB-compliant two-person crew handles appliance dollies, anti-tip straps, and door disassembly for tight hallways.
That is the whole reason this service exists as its own category. We pick the unit up from wherever it stands, tape and strap it properly for transport, and deliver it to a certified partner that recovers the refrigerant in line with Ontario Ministry of the Environment requirements. That certified disposal route sits behind every appliance we collect on our junk removal runs across Toronto and the GTA.
What Is Included
- Unplugging and pulling the unit clear of the wall or cabinetry
- Doors taped shut and the unit strapped to an appliance dolly
- Floor protection through the carry route
- Removal from any floor, basements included
- Transport to a certified refrigerant recovery partner
- Steel, aluminium, and copper recycling of the shell and compressor
Common Problems We Solve
The Second Fridge In The Basement
It came down there when the kitchen was renovated, it holds three drinks and a bag of frozen peas, and it costs roughly $150 a year to run. The only reason it is still plugged in is that getting it back up the stairs is a two-person job with the right dolly. That is exactly what we bring.
The Dead Unit In The Garage
A freezer that stopped working is not just heavy, it can be unpleasant. Tell us when you book and we will bring extra matting and handle it sealed so nothing leaks through the house.
The Delivery Window Clash
New fridge arriving at 10am and the retailer will not take the old one. We book around your delivery so the kitchen is clear before the new unit rolls in.
Curbside Rejection
Leaving a fridge on the boulevard usually results in a tag, not a pickup. It sits there for a week, the doors become a hazard, and the City may issue a notice. A booked collection avoids all of it.
What It Costs
- Standard fridge: $89 to $109 per unit
- Chest or upright freezer: $99 to $129 per unit
- Two or more units together: $149 to $199 combined
Every price includes the disconnect, the stair carry, transport, and certified disposal. If the fridge is one of several appliances going at once, see appliance removal in Toronto where multiple units often reprice into a cheaper load band.
