How to Get Rid of Old Appliances in Dothan, AL (Without the Headache)
Dothan Junk Removal Co. · May 2026
That old refrigerator sitting in your garage, the washer that gave up two months ago, the dishwasher that came with the house and nobody wants - appliances are the item people most often stall on getting rid of. They're heavy, awkward, and nobody wants to come pick them up for free.
Here's every real option you have in Dothan.
Option 1: Sell It (If It Works)
A working washer/dryer set in decent condition will sell on Facebook Marketplace in Dothan within 24 hours. Price it to sell and you will have calls immediately. Same with a working fridge. The key word is working - if it doesn't work, this option disappears fast.
Option 2: Check If the New Appliance Store Will Take It
If you're buying a new appliance from a local retailer or even Best Buy on Ross Clark Circle, ask about haul-away. Many retailers will take your old unit when they deliver the new one. Sometimes it's free. Sometimes there's a small fee. Always worth asking.
Option 3: Scrap Metal Guys
Old metal appliances - especially washers, dryers, and water heaters - have scrap metal value. There are scrap yards in the Dothan area that will either pay you or at minimum take it for free. The catch: you usually have to deliver it yourself, and they typically don't pick up single items.
Option 4: Call Us
This is the option when you don't want to wait, don't want to coordinate, and just want it gone. We disconnect it, carry it out - even from upstairs - and haul it off. You don't lift anything.
We handle refrigerators, washers, dryers, dishwashers, water heaters, window AC units, stoves, and more. If it plugs in or runs on water, we can probably take it.
One call, same-day or next-day, and the problem is solved.
