“Had a plan AND morning confirmation with [another junk remover] and they canceled last minute, an hour before. I was in a bind, and I called & texted the folks at JunkRabbit. They were fast, courteous and available on short notice.”

Appliance Removal in Hampton Roads
A dead refrigerator is the one piece of junk that comes with paperwork. Virginia Beach wants the doors off and the refrigerant status noted before it will collect one, and Newport News books white goods by appointment. We skip all of that: a refrigerator is $164, a chest freezer $146, carried out of the kitchen or garage.
Refrigerant is recovered by a certified handler and the metal goes to a recycler.

Where the Freon Goes
Fridges, freezers, dehumidifiers and AC units hold refrigerant that federal rules require a certified technician to recover before the unit is scrapped.
- Refrigerant recovered and documented
- Steel and copper recycled
- Nothing dumped whole
Getting It Ready for Pickup
Unplug it, empty it and shut off any water line to an ice maker. Our crews carry appliances out; they don’t disconnect gas lines or hard-wired units, so have a licensed technician do that first if it applies.
Garage Freezers
The second freezer in a Chesapeake or Suffolk garage is one of the most common calls we get.
Flood-Damaged Units
Washers, dryers and water heaters that sat in standing water are hauled with the rest of the storm cleanup.
Rental Turnovers
Landlords replacing a unit between tenants can book the old one to leave the day the new one arrives.
Window Units
Small, but they hold refrigerant too, so they go to recovery, not the trash can.
How the Cities Handle Appliances
Virginia Beach
Refrigerators and freezers go out as bulky items only with doors and shelves removed and the refrigerant status noted. Residents can also drop metals and appliances at the Resource Recovery Center on Jake Sears Road.
Newport News
White goods are picked up by appointment, typically on Wednesdays, and only for the first 28 callers. Miss the list and you wait another week.
We take any appliance on any weekday, from wherever it stands. Southeast Newport News →
