Appliance Removal 101: What Hicks & Sons Takes (and What They Don’t)
If you’re staring down an old fridge that sounds like it’s running a side business, or you’ve finally run out of excuses to keep that dead microwave “just in case,” you’re in the right place. When you book appliance removal through Hicks & Sons, you’re not just calling any junk-hauling outfit — you’re tapping into a local, family-owned team that knows Atlanta homes, Atlanta junk, and Atlanta-level “this thing is way heavier than it looks” appliances.
And because you’re a smart planner (I see you), here’s your no-nonsense rundown of what Hicks & Sons will haul away… and what typically triggers a double-check before scheduling.
What Goes With Hicks & Sons Appliance Removal
The beauty of working with a team that has been doing this for years? They don’t flinch at the big, bulky, back-breaking stuff. Their Appliance Removal Service covers all the usual suspects… and then some.
Typical Appliances They Remove
Refrigerators, freezers, and large chillers
Stoves, ovens, and ranges
Washers and dryers
Microwaves and built-in kitchen units
Large entertainment appliances (think huge TVs, speakers that weigh as much as toddlers, the works)
Basically any household appliance that makes you say, “Yeah, no, I’m not lifting that.”
If you’ve read our guide on DIY vs Professional Junk Removal, you already know that handling these beasts yourself is a fast track to regrets — and potential chiropractor loyalty points.
Commercial & Residential Coverage
Whether you're clearing old break-room appliances at the office or retiring the washer that’s been shaking your laundry room since 2008, Hicks & Sons handles both home and commercial jobs. For bigger cleanouts, they also offer Property Cleanout Services and Large Item Removal if you’re feeling extra declutter-y today.
Convenience Perks That Make Life Easier
They handle all the lifting, loading, and hauling — you handle the victory coffee afterward.
Same-day removal is often available, which pairs beautifully with new appliance deliveries or renovation timelines.
Whenever possible, appliances are recycled or reused. Their eco-friendly process aligns with the sustainability tips shared in Eco-Friendly Junk Removal and Why Recycling Matters.
What You Should Check (AKA Things They Probably Don’t Accept)
Like most reputable junk-hauling companies, Hicks & Sons follows safety and environmental standards. While they don’t publish a rigid “no-go” list, industry norms apply.
Potentially Restricted Items
Hazardous materials — paints, fuels, chemicals, solvents
Industrial appliances requiring regulated disposal — especially units with specialty refrigerants
Appliances containing dangerous components, like certain older models with asbestos or unsafe wiring
Pro tip: A 30-second conversation and a couple of photos can prevent any day-of surprises — and set expectations upfront. It’s the same advice we give in our Unexpected Items Hicks & Sons Can Haul post.
How to Prepare Before Scheduling
To streamline the pickup and keep things moving like a well-oiled supply chain, here’s your readiness checklist:
Measure dimensions — Especially for awkwardly large appliances
Disconnect utilities — Water, gas, electrical lines
Clear pathways — Doorways, stairs, hallways
Bundle any small accessory parts
Flag hazardous materials early — It helps everyone
