Small Appliances

Getting rid of small appliances is no more difficult than carrying anything else out of your house. Light items such as toasters, coffee makers and smaller microwave ovens can be safely lifted and carried by one person.

Larger Appliances

Larger appliances and those hardwired to the electrical system or attached to plumbing might be more of a challenge. Be certain to cut power at the breaker for hardwired applicances and shut off the water supply before disconnecting anything attached to the water lines. Loosen any mounting hardware before pulling out an installed dishwasher, microwave or stove. Use a rolling dolly to maneuver heavy items such as the refrigerator. If the appliance has a door (refrigerator, oven, dishwasher), use electrician's tape to seal it before moving the machine.

Appliances Elsewhere in Your Home

The kitchen isn't the only place for appliances. Water heaters and softeners, clothes washers and dryers and other household appliances are often situated in a garage, basement or other room. Before you remove these appliances, plan your route to the door carefully. Remove any obstacles, and measure doorways to ensure a smooth, damage-free transport.

Responsible Disposal

After you've moved the appliances and installed their replacements, it's time to think about disposing of the old equipment. Appliances in working order can sometimes be sold or given away to thrift shops, which usually clean them up and resell them. Broken appliances often require special disposal, since refrigerant and other chemicals can be dangerous. Call your local landfill or your municipality's Public Works Department for advice about how to responsibly dispose of your potentially hazardous old appliances.
