Kitchen ready for the new one
The crew carries it out and sends it to appliance recyclers.
What's included
Old oven haul away without the scratches
Ranges are heavy, sharp-edged and tucked tightly between cabinets, which makes them easy to wedge and easy to drag across a floor. JunkHaulAwayPros sends a crew that slides the stove out carefully, keeps the cabinets and countertops clear and carries it to the truck.
- Pulled out carefully. Anti-tip brackets released and the stove walked out of its gap.
- Floors protected. No dragging metal feet across tile or hardwood.
- Doors and racks secured. Oven doors, racks and grates are secured for the carry.
- Recycled properly. Ranges go to scrap metal and appliance recyclers.
Electric ranges just need to be unplugged, which the crew can do if the outlet is accessible. Gas ranges must have the gas shut off and the line capped by a qualified person before pickup. Once that's done, the crew handles the rest.

Common reasons
When people book range removal
Most stoves and ranges last fifteen years or more, but sooner or later they get replaced. These are the situations that usually lead to a pickup.
New range delivered
Many installers don't take the old one, or charge extra to haul it.
Burners or igniters failed
Older stoves often aren't worth repairing once parts get hard to find.
Switching gas to electric
Changing fuel types means the old range has to go.
Kitchen remodel
Clear appliances before cabinets and countertops are torn out.
Selling or renting the home
Upgraded appliances help a kitchen show better.
Self-clean gone wrong
A failed control board or door lock can sideline an oven for good.
A closer look
Upgrading the range, step by step
Replacing a stove is one of the most common kitchen upgrades, whether it’s switching to induction, moving to a larger range or simply replacing a unit that stopped heating evenly. The new range is usually the fun part. The old one, heavy and greasy, is the part people dread.
Coordinating removal with delivery makes the swap easier. Some retailers will disconnect the old range and leave it behind, while others won’t touch it at all. Scheduling a pickup for the same day or the day after installation means the old stove doesn’t end up sitting in the garage for months.
If you’re switching fuel types, like gas to electric or electric to induction, you may also need an electrician or plumber to modify the connection. Once the old range is disconnected and pulled out, the crew can carry it away and the new installation can proceed without obstacles.
After pickup, old stoves go to appliance and scrap metal recyclers, where steel, wiring and heating elements are recovered. Working ranges in good condition can sometimes be donated, helping another household get a few more years of use.
On pickup day
What to expect when the crew arrives
Stove pickups are usually quick once the unit is disconnected. The crew protects your floors, walks the range out and loads it safely. Here's how the visit goes.
A heads-up first
You'll know your arrival window ahead of time, so you can plan the rest of your day around it.
A quick walkthrough
Point out what's going and what's staying. The crew checks the easiest route out of the house.
Careful removal
Background-checked pros protect floors and walls, take items apart if needed and carry everything out.
Swept and sorted
The area gets a quick sweep, and everything is sorted for donation, recycling or disposal.
Two ways to book
From the kitchen or the driveway
Most people let the crew pull the stove out of the kitchen, since sliding it out without scratching floors is the tricky part. Curbside works too if it's already out.
In-home pickup
The crew releases the anti-tip bracket, slides the range out, and carries it through the house to the truck. It's best for heavy ranges and wall ovens.
Curbside pickup
If your installer already pulled the old stove out to the garage or driveway, leave it there. You don't need to be home.
Wall ovens and cooktops need to be disconnected from the cabinet and electrical or gas supply by a qualified person before the crew can remove them.
Responsible disposal
Stove disposal, done right
Stoves and ovens are mostly steel, so very little of one needs to end up in a landfill. Working ranges in good condition may be donated to local charities or resold.
Others go to appliance and scrap metal recyclers, where the steel body, wiring and burners are separated and recovered. Glass, insulation and plastic parts that can't be recycled are disposed of properly.
Tight kitchens
Slide-ins, islands and narrow doorways
Ranges are fitted snugly between cabinets, often with tile or flooring installed right up to the sides. Pulling one out without scratching the floor or chipping a countertop edge takes care, especially with heavy slide-in and professional-style models.
Crews release anti-tip brackets, protect the floor and walk the range out slowly. Doors may be removed to save weight, and the stove is guided around islands and through doorways to the truck.
Let us know if the oven is a built-in wall unit, a commercial-style range or in a kitchen up a flight of stairs. A photo helps the crew bring the right equipment.
Book an old oven pickupQuick prep
Getting the stove ready
A stove needs to be disconnected before the crew can remove it. Here's what to take care of ahead of time.
- Shut off the gas. Have a qualified person shut off and cap the gas line for gas ranges.
- Let it cool. Don't use the oven the day of pickup so it's cool to handle.
- Empty the drawers. Remove pans, cookie sheets and anything stored in the warming drawer.
- Clear the counters. Move small appliances and decor near the range out of the way.
Weighing your options
Should you haul it yourself?
Ranges commonly weigh 150 pounds or more, and their sharp metal edges make them hard to grip. Pulling one out can scratch floors and catch on cabinets, and you'll still need a truck and a scrap yard or transfer station that accepts appliances. Some cities require a separate appliance pickup that's scheduled weeks out.
| Task | Doing it yourself | With a crew |
|---|---|---|
| Lifting & stairs | You and whoever you can recruit | Handled by trained pros |
| Transportation | Borrow or rent a truck or trailer | Truck arrives with the crew |
| Finding a drop-off | Call around about charities, landfills and city rules | Sorted for donation, recycling or disposal |
| Time | Often half a day or more | Usually under an hour on site |
| Risk | Strained backs, scuffed walls, dented doorframes | Floors and walls protected |
If you have a truck, an appliance dolly and a helper, a lightweight electric range is doable. Heavy slide-ins, wall ovens and professional ranges are better left to a crew.

Stove Removal FAQ
Stove and oven removal questions
Don't see your question? Send us a note and we'll get back to you within one business day.
Do you disconnect gas stoves?
No. For safety, gas lines must be shut off and capped by a qualified person, such as a plumber or gas technician, before the crew arrives. Many appliance installers will do this when they deliver your new range. Electric ranges are much simpler, since they just need to be unplugged. Once the stove is disconnected, the crew can slide it out and carry it to the truck right away. Natural gas and propane ranges both require professional disconnection before removal.
Will you take a stove that doesn't work?
Yes. Broken or working makes no difference for removal. Dead burners, failed igniters, broken oven doors, cracked glass cooktops and faulty control boards are all fine. Working ranges in good condition may be donated or resold, and broken units go to appliance and scrap metal recyclers. Grease and baked-on spills are fine too, although emptying the drawers is appreciated. Ranges with self-cleaning failures or broken door locks are completely fine to remove.
Can you remove a wall oven or cooktop?
Yes, once it's disconnected. Wall ovens and cooktops are wired or plumbed directly into the kitchen, so they need to be disconnected from the electrical supply or gas line by a qualified person first. After that, the crew can pull the unit out of the cabinet opening and haul it away. Double wall ovens are heavy, so mention them when you book. Pulling the range out a few inches ahead of time can make the removal quicker.
Will moving the stove damage my floors?
Crews take care to protect floors when pulling a range out. They avoid dragging metal feet across tile or hardwood and walk the stove out slowly. That said, floors under and around a range are sometimes already scratched or unfinished, which becomes visible once it's moved. If you have delicate flooring, let us know when you book so the crew can take extra care. Protective floor coverings are used when moving heavy ranges across finished surfaces.
Can you take other kitchen appliances at the same time?
Absolutely. Refrigerators, dishwashers, microwaves, range hoods and small appliances can all go in the same pickup as your stove. If you're remodeling, the crew can also take old cabinets and countertops once they've been removed. List everything when you book so the crew brings enough truck space to clear out the kitchen in one visit. Bulky packaging from your new appliances can go in the same pickup as well.
