  • The typical home in San Luis Obispo was built around 1977, against 1980 nationally. Even in newer houses the sticking point is usually one doorway or one turn in the stairs, so measure the path from the appliance to the door before pickup day.
  • If you rent, check whose appliance it is before booking. 60% of households in San Luis Obispo 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.

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 Luis Obispo FAQs

Booking appliance removal in San Luis Obispo

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

How much does appliance removal cost in San Luis Obispo?

Can I get same-day appliance pickup in San Luis Obispo?

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 Luis Obispo 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 Luis Obispo?

Select Get Instant Price, choose the appliances going out, enter your San Luis Obispo 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 Luis Obispo 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 Luis Obispo 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 Luis Obispo County?

Yes. Pickups are available in San Luis Obispo and across San Luis Obispo County, and in nearby places such as Pismo Beach, Grover Beach and Arroyo Grande. The LoadUp network covers all 50 states and Washington, DC.

What do I need to do before my San Luis Obispo 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.
