Getting rid of an old freezer isn't as simple as hauling it to the curb. Whether you're replacing a broken unit, clearing out a basement, or making room in your garage, you need professional freezer removal. I've been removing freezers from homes and businesses across Peoria, East Peoria, Pekin, and surrounding Illinois communities for over 17 years, and I know exactly what it takes—and what it costs.
Here's what you need to know about freezer removal pricing in Peoria IL, plus when it makes sense to call us instead of trying to handle it yourself.
Freezer removal in Peoria IL costs between $150 and $300 on average. Most freezers fall in the $200–$250 range. The exact price depends on three things: the freezer type, size, and whether we need to navigate tight spaces.
| Freezer Type | Typical Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Upright Freezer | $150–$225 | Most common. Smaller footprint, moderate weight. |
| Chest Freezer | $200–$300 | Larger capacity, heavier, takes more space. |
| Deep Freezer | $200–$300 | Commercial-grade, heavy, may require extra crew. |
| Freezer + Other Items | $250–$400+ | Bundle savings. Remove the freezer plus other junk. |
That price includes everything: labor, hauling, and disposal at a licensed facility. No surprise charges. No "disposal fee" tacked on at the end. You get a quote, you call, we show up, and the freezer is gone.
You might be tempted to move a freezer yourself or post it on Facebook Marketplace for free. I get it—it's a big, heavy box. Here's why that often backfires:
Safety Risk: An upright freezer weighs 200–300 pounds. A chest freezer or deep freezer can hit 400+ pounds. Moving one down stairs, through a tight basement, or across a yard puts your back—and your property—at serious risk. I've seen people hurt doing this.
Environmental Law: Freezers and air conditioners contain refrigerant (usually R-134a or older CFC compounds). Dumping or improper disposal is illegal and damages the ozone layer. Landfills won't accept them, and residential trash pickup won't either. You need a licensed recycler.
Liability: If someone gets hurt removing or transporting your freezer, you're liable. If they take it to a junk site and someone else gets hurt with it, that can still come back on you. Professional removal protects you.
For $200–$250, professional removal is actually the cheapest option when you factor in your time, risk, and the liability headache.
When you call for freezer removal, here's how it works:
Tell me where the freezer is (basement, garage, attic), what type it is, and whether it's still running. I'll give you a price right there. No hidden fees. If access is tricky, I might need to see it in person, but usually we can quote over the phone.
We work around your schedule. Same-day appointments available most days, especially if you call before noon. We show up on time, and you don't have to move anything.
My crew safely disconnects the freezer, moves it using proper equipment (dollies, straps, padding), and loads it into the truck. Takes about 15–30 minutes depending on location and access. We haul it directly to a licensed recycling facility.
That's it. Your freezer is gone, legally disposed of, and you've got the space back.
Basement freezers are some of the most common calls we get. They're cramped, stairs are tight, and moving a 300-pound box down wooden steps is a nightmare. We handle it—we've navigated thousands of basements in Peoria, East Peoria, and Pekin.
Whether it froze over, stopped cooling, or just stopped working years ago, a non-functional freezer is just wasted space. We remove it whether it runs or not. Same price, same professionalism.
If you're clearing out a basement or garage and the freezer is one of several items, we can bundle it. You might save money by removing the freezer plus old furniture, appliances, or general junk in one trip.
These are usually easier access than basements. We still treat them professionally—the freezer gets loaded safely, and you don't have to lift a finger.
