Eco-Friendly Disposal of Freezers
At Trash & Stash, we take pride in our eco-friendly disposal practices. Freezers contain materials such as metal, plastic, and refrigerants that must be disposed of responsibly. Simply throwing a freezer into a landfill is not an option, as refrigerants can leak harmful greenhouse gasses contributing to environmental damage.
Instead, we work with certified recycling facilities to ensure that your old freezer is dismantled and recycled properly. Usable parts, such as metal components, are salvaged, while harmful chemicals are disposed of according to regulations. In cases where freezers are still functional, we explore donation options, giving them a second life in community organizations or shelters.

Yes, we can safely and efficiently remove freezers from basements and tight spaces. Our experienced team is trained to handle challenging removals, ensuring your freezer is transported out without damaging your property.
Here’s how we manage tricky situations:
- Disassembly if Needed
- If the freezer is too large to fit through narrow doorways or stairwells, we can disassemble parts like doors and shelves to make the process smoother.

- Our team has experience maneuvering heavy appliances through tight corners, narrow hallways, and staircases.
- Teamwork and Equipment
- For larger or heavier freezers, we use dollies, straps, and lifts to carry the appliance up stairs or through confined spaces safely.
No matter the challenge, we ensure safe, damage-free removal so you can reclaim your space with peace of mind.
Do I need to defrost the freezer before removal?
Yes, it’s recommended to defrost your freezer before removal to ensure a smooth and mess-free process. Here’s why and how you can prepare:
Why Defrosting is Important
- Prevents Water Leaks: A defrosted freezer prevents melted ice from leaking during transportation, which could damage your floors or create slippery surfaces.
- Reduces Weight: Freezers with built-up ice can be significantly heavier, making removal more challenging.
- Prepares the Freezer for Recycling or Donation: Defrosting ensures the freezer is clean and dry, making it easier to handle for recycling centers or donation recipients.
How to Defrost Your Freezer:
- Unplug the Unit: Disconnect the freezer from the power source at least 24 hours before removal.
- Remove All Food Items: Remove stored items and dispose of expired products.
- Place Towels Around the Base: Towels absorb any water from melting ice.
- Leave the Door Open: This speeds up the defrosting process.
- Wipe It Down: Once the ice melts, wipe the interior dry.
Following these steps ensures your freezer is ready for safe and efficient removal. If you can’t defrost it in time, just let us know, and we’ll take the necessary precautions during removal.
