Quick Answer: Typical Price Range
For a standard, ground-floor pickup with easy access, a fair price to remove a pair (washer + dryer) typically falls between $120 and $250 in many U.S. markets. For a single appliance, $75 to $150 is common. In Metro Atlanta, quotes we see most often land around $140–$220 for the pair, assuming straightforward conditions.
Note: Prices vary by city, travel distance, dump or recycling fees, time on site, and difficulty (stairs, tight hallways, stacked units, etc.).
Key Factors That Influence Your Price
Access & Stairs
Basements, third-floor walkups, or tight corners add time and risk. Add $20–$60 for each flight of stairs or difficult maneuvering.
Disconnection & Prep
Basic disconnection (water lines, power plug, vent) is often included. Gas dryer disconnects or hardwired electric may justify a $20–$50 surcharge.
Distance & Parking
Long carries, garage-to-curb, or paid parking add time. Add $10–$30 if the carry is more than ~75–100 feet or if parking is difficult.
Condition & Weight
Non-draining washers (full of water), rusted units, or stacked sets add effort. Add $20–$40 if extra handling is required.
Disposal/Recycling Fees
Appliance outlets and transfer stations may charge per unit. Build in those fees plus your time loading/unloading.
Urgency & After-Hours
Same-day or after-hours requests can justify a 10–25% premium to cover schedule disruption and labor costs.
Common Pricing Models You Can Use
- Flat Rate per Appliance: Simple for customers. Example: $85 single / $160 pair base price, with add-ons for stairs or gas disconnect.
- Volume-Based (Truck Space): If you’re loading multiple items, quote by fraction of a truck plus an appliance handling surcharge (e.g., ⅛ truck + $20).
- Time & Materials: Hourly labor + disposal fees. Transparent for complex jobs (tight spaces, stacked, waterlogged units).
Sample Price Table (You Can Copy & Adapt)
| Scenario | What’s Included | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Pair, Easy Access | Basic disconnect, ground floor, no stairs, haul-away & disposal | $140–$200 |
| Single Appliance (Washer or Dryer) | Basic disconnect, ground floor, no stairs, haul-away | $85–$150 |
| Basement or 2+ Flights | Pair with stairs or long carry; tight corners | $180–$260 |
| Stacked Units / Gas Disconnect | Pair with stacking separation or gas line shutoff | $180–$280 |
| After-Hours / Same-Day | Priority scheduling outside standard hours | +10–25% premium |
Tip: Always state your base price and list any potential surcharges up front. Clear, line-itemed quotes build trust and reduce callbacks.
How to Build a Quote in 60 Seconds
- Confirm the setup: Pair or single? Floor level? Stairs? Stacked? Any gas line or hardwire?
- Check access: Hallways, corners, elevator availability, parking distance, gate codes.
- Estimate time on site: 20–40 minutes standard; add time for stairs, stacking, or shutoffs.
- Account for fees: Landfill/recycling fees + mileage/time to facility.
- Choose your model: Flat rate (most popular) + add-ons as needed.
- Present a clean total: “$175 flat for both appliances, includes disconnect & haul-away. Add $25 for one flight of stairs.”
DIY vs. Hiring a Pro—What Customers Consider
DIY
- Pros: Save money if you have a truck, dolly, and help.
- Cons: Heavy lifting, risk of leaks/damage, disposal logistics, time.
- Hidden costs: Truck rental, dump fees, straps, protective blankets.
Hire a Pro
- Pros: Trained team, insured, proper disconnection, recycling handled.
- Cons: Service fee versus “free” DIY.
- Value: Transparent flat rate can be cheaper than DIY once true costs are counted.
Disposal & Eco-Friendly Recycling
Whenever possible, prioritize recycling over landfill disposal. Many washers and dryers contain recyclable metals; some units can be donated if they’re clean, safe, and working. Be sure to remove water and power connections safely, cap gas lines if present, and transport upright when feasible to protect floors and doorways. Include your recycling policy in the quote so customers see the environmental value you provide.
Transparent Add-On Fees (Use Sparingly)
- Stairs/Tight Access: $20–$60 per flight or complex maneuvering.
- Gas Line or Hardwire: $20–$50 if extra time or a licensed pro is required.
- Water-Filled/Non-Draining Washer: $20–$40 for pumping/containment.
- Long Carry/Parking: $10–$30 for extended carries or paid parking.
- After-Hours/Same-Day: 10–25% premium for scheduling priority.
Only apply add-ons that meaningfully affect labor or risk. Customers appreciate fair, predictable pricing.
