Drouco has been serving Nashua, NH families for over 50 years, and appliance removal is one of the calls we get most often here. Nashua's mix of historic mill-era homes downtown and newer subdivisions out past Exit 8 means every job is different — one day it's a third-floor walk-up off Main Street, the next it's a basement cleanout in a 1980s colonial near Mine Falls. We know the city, the back roads, and which transfer stations move fastest on Saturday mornings. Whether you're in downtown or out past Salmon Brook, we know the route — and we've been doing this work for three generations.
We remove all major and minor appliances — refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, dishwashers, ranges, microwaves, and water heaters. Old fridges and freezers require freon handling at a certified facility, and we take care of that step for you. No appliance is too heavy or awkward — that's literally the job.

Honest, upfront pricing
You see the price before we lift a thing — by the truck-space, never by the hour or the surprise.
We do all the heavy lifting
Third-floor walk-up or a packed basement, our crew carries it out. You just point.
Same-day & next-day
Most jobs are booked and cleared fast — often the same day you call.
Sorted, donated, disposed right
We recycle what we can, donate what's still good, and pay the dump fees so you don't.
How it works
Simple, start to finish
- 1
Tell us what you've got
Number of appliances, where they are in the house, and whether they're still hooked up.
- 2
We disconnect if needed
If the appliance is still plumbed or plugged in, we handle the unhook. You don't need to do anything ahead of our arrival.
- 3
Out the door, no scuffs
We use floor and door protection. The appliance goes out cleanly — no scratched floors, no banged-up doorways.
- 4
Properly recycled or disposed
Freon-bearing appliances go to certified recyclers; metals get scrapped; everything is handled the right way.
Why Nashua calls us
Three generations, one phone number
Drouco Waste Removal has been a family-run waste removal business in southern New Hampshire for over 50 years — three generations of the same family showing up, working hard, and treating every job like the customer is our neighbor (because usually, they are). That's not a marketing line — it's how we've stayed in business this long.
Showed up on time, worked fast, fair price. We'll use them again the next time we need anything hauled.

DIY appliance disposal at Four Hills: the fine print
An appliance run to Four Hills is more paperwork than pickup — and the fridge still has to get onto the truck somehow:
The DIY route
- Annual permit$5 + vehicle registration at the Scale House
- Freon units (fridge, AC, freezer)call 603-589-3410 for the current freon fee
- Non-freon metalfree — once it's there
- The liftinga fridge is 250+ lbs and hates stairs
- Saturdayscale off at 12:30pm; closed Sunday
- Truckyours to borrow, rent & load
One call to DrouCo
- One flat, upfront quote — dump fees, labor & permits included
- We load everything, from wherever it sits
- Same-day & next-day slots, seven days a week
- Recyclables sorted, usable items donated
The dump fee is the cheap part — the expensive part is a 250-pound refrigerator and a flight of stairs. Our crew brings the dolly, the straps, and the backs. Delivery guys wouldn't take the old one? That's half our appliance calls.
FAQ
Questions Nashua homeowners ask
Can you take an old fridge or freezer in Nashua?
Yes — fridges and freezers are one of the most common calls we get in Nashua. We handle freon-bearing units the right way, through certified recycling facilities. You don't need to do anything special before we arrive.
Do I need to disconnect the appliance myself?
No. We disconnect washers, dryers, dishwashers, gas and electric ranges — all of it. As long as we have safe access to the shutoff, we take care of the rest.
How much does appliance removal cost in Nashua?
Single-appliance pickups in Nashua start at a flat rate. Multiple appliances run cheaper per unit. Call 603-484-9300 for a same-day quote.
Can you remove appliances from a basement or upstairs?
Yes. Most appliance jobs we run in Nashua involve stairs, bulkheads, or tight basements. Our crew is built for it — no extra fee for stairs.
What if my appliance still works?
If it's in working shape, we'll route it to a donation partner whenever we can. Just let us know on the phone so we can flag it.
The store delivered my new fridge but wouldn't take the old one. Typical?
Extremely — delivery crews often can't take units with freon, or won't carry from basements. It's our single most common appliance call in Nashua. We come within a day, usually the same one, and the old fridge rides out properly.
What's the deal with freon? Can't I just put the fridge on the curb?
No — refrigerant is federally regulated and Nashua won't collect it curbside. Four Hills handles freon units for a fee you have to call ahead to confirm. Our price includes certified refrigerant handling; you never think about it.
Can you take an appliance from a basement or upper floor?
That's the job. Chest freezers in cellars, stacked washers in third-floor units, wall ovens still half-mounted — our two-person crews carry appliances out of wherever Nashua's housing stock put them.
Do you do multi-appliance pickups for landlords or remodels?
Yes, and it's cheaper per item that way — one truck, one trip, every dead appliance in the building. Kitchen remodels, rental turnovers, estate properties: we clear the whole set and the quote covers everything.
We know Nashua
Kitchen swaps from French Hill to the North End
Appliance work in Nashua has a rhythm: new unit delivered, old unit refused by the delivery crew, and a garage suddenly hosting a dead refrigerator. We're the second call. In French Hill and downtown multi-families that means narrow staircases and tight turns our crews navigate daily; in the North End and the Exit 8 neighborhoods it's basement freezers and garage-parked washers from the last three kitchen upgrades.
Landlords across the city use us for unit turnovers — one call clears every appliance from a rental, freon handled by the book, and the disposal paperwork never touches your desk. Based on Gillis Street, we can usually make it same-day.
