Appliance Removal in Carstairs, Alberta

Hauling Old Appliances Out of Carstairs Homes

Carstairs isn't a big city, and it doesn't try to be. It's a town of about 4,500 people, mostly single-family homes on proper lots, a handful of newer developments off Highway 2A, and a lot of acreages just outside town limits. When an appliance gives out here, it's not a quick trip to the curb on garbage day — the town's waste bylaws don't let you just set a fridge or a washer out for pickup. You either haul it to the Carstairs & District Recycling Centre yourself, or you call someone like me.

I'm TJ. I run a small junk removal truck out of the area, and I do appliance removal in Carstairs every week. Old stoves, fridges that finally quit, washing machines that shook themselves loose one too many times. If it's heavy and you want it gone, I'll come get it.

Where Appliances Go in Carstairs

The Carstairs & District Recycling Centre on Highway 2A (just north of town past the AG Foods) takes most household appliances for scrap metal. But here's the thing — they've got specific hours, they charge fees on certain items like fridges and freezers containing refrigerant, and you need a vehicle that can haul a 200-pound dead fridge without scraping your back out. A lot of folks in town don't have a truck, or they've got one but can't wrangle a stove down a flight of stairs by themselves.

I handle that part. I've hauled appliances out of the older bungalows around the downtown core — the streets off Main Street where the houses were built in the 50s and 60s and the basement stairs are narrow and steep. I've done pickups in the newer subdivisions like Westview and the Meadows, where the challenge is more about getting a washer and dryer out through a tight garage door. And I do plenty of acreage calls outside town, where the old fridge has been sitting in a shed for three years and nobody wants to deal with it.

What I'll Take and How It Works

I haul away any household appliance:

• Fridges and freezers (including ones with refrigerant — I handle the disposal properly)
• Stoves, ovens, and range hoods
• Dishwashers
• Washing machines and dryers
• Microwaves (built-in or countertop)
• Small kitchen appliances if you're clearing out a whole kitchen

I charge by the truckload, not by the item. A single fridge is a partial load. A full kitchen of old appliances — fridge, stove, dishwasher, microwave — that's still just one load as long as it fits. I come to your house in Carstairs, we look at what needs to go, I give you a firm price before I lift a finger, and I haul everything out. I sweep the floor where the appliance was. My prices run from a $50 minimum up to $500 for a full truck, and if your job hits an extra-fee item like a fridge or a long carry, that's included in the quote up front — no surprises.

What It Costs and How to Book

For a single appliance in Carstairs — say, an old fridge or a washing machine — you're looking at a partial-load rate. For a full truckload of multiple appliances and other junk, the rate caps out. I take cash, e-transfer, Visa, or Mastercard.

I work Monday through Saturday, usually same-week or next-day for Carstairs. I live close enough that I can get out there without running up a big travel charge, so you're not paying extra just because Carstairs isn't Calgary.

If you've got an old appliance taking up space in your basement, garage, or backyard, give me a call or text at (825) 559-2766. I'll come haul it away, get it recycled properly, and leave your place cleaner than I found it.
