  • Older homes mean tighter paths out. 45% of homes in San Francisco were built before 1940, against 12% nationally, so a refrigerator, washer or range often has to clear narrow doorways, tight stair turns or steep basement steps. Measure the doorway and the stairs before your pickup, and mention where the appliance sits when you book.
  • In an apartment building, the building's rules shape the pickup. 49% of homes in San Francisco are in buildings with five or more units, against 19% nationally, so check whether you need to reserve a service elevator or stick to move-out hours, and let the building know the pickup date.
  • If you rent, check whose appliance it is before booking. 62% of households in San Francisco rent, against 35% nationally, and appliances in a rental usually belong to the landlord. If a previous tenant left one behind, your lease usually decides who handles removal.

The San Francisco climate and your appliances

3CMild and damp

San Francisco sits in climate zone 3C under the 2021 International Energy Conservation Code. Cool summers and long, wet winters, with little need for air conditioning.

Pickup tip. Rain is the usual pickup-day wrinkle. Keep the appliance indoors until your Loaders arrive rather than leaving it on the porch.

What to have ready before your Loaders arrive

What happens to your old appliance

LoadUp always tries to donate a working appliance first. Whether an appliance can be donated depends on its condition, your location, and whether a local donation center will accept it.

When no local donation center will accept an appliance, responsible disposal is the priority. LoadUp recycles appliances whenever possible.

San Francisco FAQs

Booking appliance removal in San Francisco

Straight answers on price, timing and getting ready for a pickup in San Francisco, CA.

How much does appliance removal cost in San Francisco?

Appliance removal in San Francisco starts at $70 for a small appliance such as a microwave, and every appliance has its own starting price: a washing machine from $85, a refrigerator from $115. A second appliance on the same pickup adds only its add-on price, from +$15, because the service fee is charged once. You see the exact total for your San Francisco address before you book.

Can I get same-day appliance pickup in San Francisco?

Often, yes. Same-day pickups are available across the LoadUp network when you book before noon, and availability varies by location, so the booking window shows the times open for your San Francisco address. Same-day pickup adds $10. If you would rather plan ahead, you can book for the next day or up to 90 days out.

How do I book appliance removal in San Francisco?

Select Get Instant Price, choose the appliances going out, enter your San Francisco address and pick a pickup window. You see the exact price before anything is confirmed, and your Loaders arrive in the window you chose.

Will the Loaders come inside my San Francisco home, or do I leave it at the curb?

Either. With in-home pickup your Loaders carry the appliance out from wherever it sits in your San Francisco home, including basements, upstairs rooms and apartments. If it is already outside, curbside pickup saves $5 and you can skip the appointment.

Do you cover the rest of San Francisco County?

Yes. Pickups are available in San Francisco and across San Francisco County, and in nearby places such as Mill Valley, Fairfax and Ross. The LoadUp network covers all 50 states and Washington, DC.

What do I need to do before my San Francisco pickup?

Every appliance needs to be disconnected before pickup, including electrical, gas, and plumbing connections. Refrigerant must be removed by a certified technician before pickup. This applies only to refrigerators, freezers, wine fridges, ice machines, dehumidifiers and AC units. Clear a path from the appliance to the door, and if you live in an apartment building, check its rules for elevator bookings and move-out hours.
