Expert Appliance Removal for Round Lake Properties

Round Lake homes built between the 1970s and 1990s often house aging appliances that require professional removal-especially in neighborhoods like The Pines at Round Lake and Heritage Shores, where properties sit on smaller lots near the Round Lake Golf Club. Many Round Lake residents face HOA restrictions on where appliances can be stored or junked, and Illinois environmental codes require proper disposal of refrigerant-based units like freezers and AC units. Our team navigates Round Lake's local permit requirements and ensures every appliance is recycled or disposed of according to Lake County regulations.

The typical appliance removal project in Round Lake takes 30 to 90 minutes from start to finish, depending on accessibility, appliance size, and whether it's connected to gas or water lines. We've completed over 800 appliance removals across Lake County since 2015, with an average customer satisfaction rating of 4.9 out of 5 stars. Our crew arrives in a fully equipped junk removal truck, disconnects appliances safely, and hauls them directly to certified recycling facilities or donation centers-95% of large appliances we collect get recycled or refurbished rather than sent to landfills.

Recent Project

Recent Appliance Removal Project in Round Lake, Illinois

In April 2024, we removed a 25-year-old side-by-side refrigerator, matching freezer, and outdated electric range from a 1,850 sq. ft. ranch home in The Pines at Round Lake subdivision. The homeowner was preparing for kitchen renovation and needed all three units out within 48 hours before new appliances arrived. Our crew disconnected the refrigerator from water lines (ice maker), the range from a 240V outlet, and haul-away was completed in 35 minutes. The refrigerator and freezer were transported to a certified recycling facility in Waukegan where 87 pounds of copper wiring and steel frame were recovered; the range was donated to a Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Mundelein. Total cost: $385. Project completed on time; customer rating: 5 stars.
