The old sectional that will not fit down the stairs, the mattress from the guest room, the fridge in the garage that stopped cooling: this is the everyday work in Huntsville. We come with two people and a truck, carry it out from wherever it is, and haul it the same day where the schedule allows.
Appliances with refrigerant are handled the legal way; working ones go to donation where they are accepted; metal is recycled. One item or a whole house, the price is quoted before we lift.

Furniture and appliance pickup across Huntsville
Most of the furniture calls come from two kinds of addresses. The first is the apartment or rental near Redstone Arsenal and Cummings Research Park, where a contract ends, the movers take what fits and a sectional, a mattress and a bookcase are left behind. The second is the ranch house in Blossomwood, Jones Valley or the Medical District, where a solid oak dresser has stood in the same bedroom since the sixties and now has to come down a narrow hall and out through a carport. Both are booked the same way: a photo, a firm number, a two-hour arrival window.
Appliances are the other half of the job. A refrigerator, a chest freezer or a window unit holds refrigerant, and the crew does not simply drop it at a landfill gate; it goes to a facility that recovers the gas first, which is the rule the Alabama Department of Environmental Management enforces. Washers, dryers and water heaters are mostly steel and get weighed in as scrap. If the appliance still works, it is offered to a donation partner before anything else, and you can ask where it went.
The City of Huntsville does list furniture and appliances among the items its trash trucks will take from the curb, and its collection page is worth a look if you can wait for your route day and carry the piece out yourself. Where a crew earns its fee is everything the curb does not solve: a piece that has to come down stairs, a pickup that has to happen before the tenant moves in Friday, a garage with six items instead of one, or a house outside the city limits in Harvest or Owens Cross Roads on a county route.
Furniture and Appliance Removal pricing in Huntsville
A single piece is the cheapest job on the price list. A mattress and box spring runs about $100 to $175, a couch or sectional $125 to $250, a refrigerator or freezer $125 to $200, and a washer, dryer or water heater $100 to $175, each carried out from wherever it sits and hauled the same visit. Two or three pieces together are quoted as a fraction of the truck instead, which is where the per-item cost drops: a quarter truck, about a bedroom set, runs $225 to $325.
What moves the number is the carry, not the item. A fridge in a driveway is the bottom of its range; the same fridge in a basement with a turn in the stairs is the top of it. A piano, at $250 to $500, is priced on the route out as much as the weight. Send a photo that shows the path to the door and the quote you get is the number on the card receipt.

Furniture and Appliance Removal questions, answered
What is the minimum charge for junk removal in Huntsville?
The minimum for a local crew is about $99 to $175, and it buys one item: a mattress, a couch, an appliance, carried out and hauled with the disposal fee inside the number. It applies when the piece is on the ground floor or in the garage and the crew is already routed near you that day. A second item on the same visit is usually cheaper than a second visit, so bundle what you can.
What's included in a $99 junk removal service?
The $99 figure is the bottom of the minimum range, and it is honest only for the easiest version of the job: one small item, easy access, a weekday slot the crew can fit between other stops. The price covers two people, the carry-out, the truck, the drive and the landfill or recycling fee. It rises toward $175 for a heavy appliance, a second floor, a same-day request or an address at the edge of the county.
Will you take a refrigerator that still has freon in it?
Yes. Refrigerators, freezers and window units are hauled with the refrigerant in them and taken to a facility that recovers the gas before the metal is scrapped, which is the legal route in Alabama. You do not need to have it drained first. Leave it unplugged and empty, tape the doors shut if you can, and tell us on the call so the crew brings the dolly and straps for it.
