Washer & Dryer Removal in Dothan, AL — Old Laundry Appliances Hauled Away

By Dothan Junk Removal Co. | Appliance Disposal Guide for the Wiregrass

Getting a new washer and dryer is exciting until you realize the delivery crew won't always take the old ones. Or they'll take them for a fee that seems high for what they're actually doing. Dothan Junk Removal Co. picks up old washers, dryers, and laundry appliances — same-day in most cases.

What We Remove

• Top-load and front-load washing machines
• Electric and gas dryers
• Combo washer/dryer units
• Laundry pedestals
• Old utility tubs and laundry sinks
• Portable or apartment-size washers

Gas vs. Electric Dryers — What You Need to Know

If you have a gas dryer, the gas line needs to be disconnected and capped before we arrive. This is a quick job for a plumber or appliance technician — often a 15-minute service call. We don't disconnect gas lines; that's licensed work. If your new dryer installer capped it, you're already set.

Electric dryers: unplug from the 240V outlet and we handle the rest.

The delivery guys said they'd take the old washer but couldn't because of 'damage.' Called Dothan Junk Removal and they came the same day. No issues.— Kim R., Northwood Dothan

Do I Need to Drain the Washing Machine?

Run a spin cycle to remove as much water as possible. Disconnect the water supply hoses (there are two — hot and cold). Most washing machines have a small residual amount of water in the drum and hoses that will drain out during loading. We're used to it — just make sure the supply lines are disconnected before we load it.

Can Old Washers Be Donated?

A working washing machine in decent condition can find a home. Local nonprofits, transitional housing programs, and individuals in need often want working laundry appliances. Post on Facebook Marketplace with 'free to whoever can pick up.' A working washer rarely sits unclaimed for more than a day.

A non-working washer (our more common pickup) goes to appliance recycling for the steel — washers are mostly steel and have good scrap value.

Timing With New Appliance Delivery

The ideal sequence: call us 1–2 days before your new appliance delivery. We haul the old ones, the delivery crew installs the new ones into a clear space. Delivery crews work faster and are less likely to have 'can't take the old ones' situations when the appliance is staged for easy pickup vs. buried in a laundry room corner.

Commercial Laundry Equipment

Managing a laundromat or an apartment complex with shared laundry? Commercial washers and dryers are heavier and require a larger crew. Call us first and describe the equipment so we send the right crew size.
