Appliance Removal in Cochrane – No Roundabouts, Just Pickup

If you live in Cochrane, you know the drill. That old fridge has been sitting in the garage since you upgraded from Canadian Tire. The washer finally gave up halfway through a load, and now it's just taking up space. Or maybe you're clearing out a rental in Heartland before new tenants move in.

Whatever the reason, you need the thing gone. I'll come get it.

My name's TJ, and I run TJ's Junk Removal. I live and work right here in Cochrane — not Calgary, not Airdrie. I know the town, the neighbourhoods, and the quickest way to get from Sunset Ridge to the dump without hitting every roundabout on Griffin Road.

What I Haul and How It Works

I take pretty much any household appliance:

  • Fridges and freezers (yes, even the big side-by-sides)
  • Stoves, ovens, and ranges
  • Washers and dryers
  • Dishwashers
  • Microwaves and countertop units
  • Window AC units and dehumidifiers

The process is simple. You call or text me at (825) 559-2766, tell me what you've got and where you are — Rivercrest, Fireside, Sunset Ridge, downtown near the historic station, wherever. I give you a straight-up price over the phone, no haggling, no "we'll see when we get there." If it sounds good, I come by, load it up, and take it away. I handle the hauling, the lifting, and the disposal.

A Few Things About Appliance Removal in Cochrane

Fridges and freezers need to be prepped. If you're getting rid of a fridge or chest freezer, I need it unplugged and thawed out before I get there. I can't haul a unit that's still full of ice or food — that's a mess nobody wants. Give it a day or two to defrost, especially in the winter when garages stay cold.

I can't take appliances with refrigerants still inside. This is the law. If you've got a fridge, freezer, or AC unit that still has its refrigerant loop intact, I'll need to confirm that it's been properly drained by a certified technician before I can take it. Most people buying new appliances already have this handled by the delivery crew, but if you're not sure, just ask me when you call.

Cochrane's waste transfer station takes appliances. I take everything I haul to the Cochrane Eco Centre on Bow Valley Trail. They handle scrap metal recycling and proper disposal. Nothing of mine ends up in a ditch or dumped on a back road — that's not how I do business.

What It Costs

Pricing depends on what you're getting rid of and how many trips I need to make. A single appliance like a stove or dishwasher usually runs between $75 and $125. A bigger fridge or a washer-dryer set might be $150 to $200. If you've got a whole basement full of old appliances plus other junk, I'll price it as a load — usually $350 to $500 for a full truck.

I take cash, e-transfer, and credit card. No hidden fees, no disposal surcharges tacked on after the fact.

Service Areas in Cochrane

I cover the whole town — Rivercrest, Sunset Ridge, Fireside, Heartland, Greystone, Glenbow, and downtown Cochrane. If you're out on a rural property near the Ghost River or up toward Big Hill Springs, just mention it when you call. I can usually get out there with a bit of notice.

Call Me Directly

I'm a local guy with a truck and a straightforward way of doing things. If you need an appliance hauled out of your house, garage, or rental property in Cochrane, give me a shout.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to disconnect my appliance before you arrive?

It helps if you do, but I can handle most disconnections on site — just let me know what you need when you call. The one exception is gas stoves and ranges, which should be disconnected by a licensed gas fitter for safety.

Will you haul appliances from a basement or upstairs unit?

Yes, I will. I've hauled washer-dryer sets out of basements all over Cochrane, including narrow staircases in the older homes near downtown. Just give me a heads-up if there are tight corners or steep stairs so I can bring the right gear.

What if my appliance still works? Can you still take it?

I can, but if it's in decent shape, I'll try to point you toward the Cochrane Eco Centre or a local charity that accepts working appliances first. If you just want it gone, I'll haul it away no questions asked.

Do you take appliances from rental properties or condo buildings?

Absolutely. I do a lot of work in the newer condo buildings in Fireside and Heartland. Just make sure building management knows I'm coming so I can access the loading bay or service elevator.

How do I pay you?

Cash, e-transfer, or credit card. I take payment when the job's done and the appliance is loaded in the truck. No deposit required.
