Appliance removal & disposal Services in Lake County, Illinois
When your old refrigerator, washing machine, or range breaks down, you need fast, reliable appliance removal without the headache of DIY hauling. Cortes Junk Removal has removed thousands of appliances from homes in Libertyville, Waukegan, Gurnee, and surrounding Lake County neighborhoods since 2015. Our trained crews arrive with the right equipment-heavy-duty dollies, appliance dollies, and lifting straps-to safely extract even 300+ lb refrigerators from tight kitchens and basements without damaging your floors or doorways.
Our appliance removal process begins with a free phone estimate at (847)513-4616 where we confirm the appliance type, location, and any access challenges like narrow hallways in older Deerfield or Highland Park homes. We schedule your removal within 1-3 days, arrive on-time with 2-3 crew members, safely disconnect and extract the unit (including gas line shutoff for ranges), haul it directly to our licensed recycling facility in Waukegan, and sweep the area clean-all for a transparent, upfront price with no hidden fees.
