“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.”

Basement Appliances

Columbus basements collect a particular set of dead machines: the second fridge, the chest freezer, the dehumidifier that ran every summer, the old furnace after an HVAC upgrade.

  • Hauled up on an appliance dolly
  • Stairs and landings protected
  • Refrigerant units to certified recovery

What the City Excludes

City of Columbus bulk collection lists refrigerated appliances — refrigerators, freezers, dehumidifiers, heat pumps, water coolers and air conditioners — along with furnaces among the items it will not pick up.

Washers, dryers and stoves can go through 311 if you live in the City, schedule ahead and get them to the curb. Anything with refrigerant, or anything still in the basement, is ours to handle. Suburban haulers set their own appliance rules.

Before Pickup Day

Unplug and Empty

Clear out food and let the freezer drain. Defrosting fully isn’t necessary.

Water Lines

Shut off ice-maker and washer supply lines before the crew arrives.

Gas and Hard-Wired Units

Have a licensed technician disconnect gas ranges, dryers and furnaces first — our crews carry, they don’t disconnect.

Tell Us the Stairs

Mention a basement or narrow stairwell when you book so the right crew size comes.
