Washer & Dryer Removal in Katy, TX
Broken washer or dryer clogging up your laundry room? We'll pick it up the same day.
Katy homes are beautiful — and they deserve to stay uncluttered. An old, broken washer or dryer sitting in your laundry room just takes up valuable space. Clearout Junk provides same-day washer and dryer removal in Katy, TX. We pick up from laundry rooms, garages, utility closets, and tight spaces — carry it out carefully, load it, and haul it to certified recyclers where 90% of the materials are recovered.
Working units get donated to families in need. Broken units get recycled for steel, copper, motors, and more. Either way, your laundry room is clear and clean. Upfront pricing, no hidden fees, and we handle the heavy lifting — these units can weigh 250+ lbs. Call us today.
Every Type of Washer & Dryer Removed in Katy
Any brand, any age, any condition. Working or broken — we take it.
Top-Load Washers
Standard top-loading washing machines from every manufacturer — Whirlpool, Samsung, LG, Maytag, GE, Kenmore, Amana, and more. 150–200 lbs each.
Front-Load Washers
Front-loading units including HE (high-efficiency) models. These are heavier and bulkier than top-loaders — often 200+ lbs with the concrete counterweight inside.
Gas & Electric Dryers
Both electric and gas dryers removed. Gas dryers must be disconnected from the gas line by a licensed plumber or handyman before our arrival. 100–150 lbs each.
Stacked & Combo Units
Stacked washer/dryer pairs, combination washer-dryer units, and compact laundry centers. We unstack carefully and carry each piece out separately.
Commercial Laundry Equipment
Coin-operated washers and dryers from laundromats, apartment complexes, and multi-family properties. Larger units, heavier — we have the crew and equipment.
Flood-Damaged Units
Washers and dryers damaged by flooding, leaks, or storms. Waterlogged units are even heavier and may have mold. We remove them safely regardless of condition.
Why Washer & Dryer Removal Is Harder Than You Think
These aren't items you can wrestle to the curb on your own.
They're Brutally Heavy
A front-load washer weighs 200–250 lbs — more than a refrigerator. The concrete counterweight inside makes them awkward and dangerous to move without an appliance dolly and two trained people.
Tight Spaces & Doorways
Laundry rooms are notoriously small. Narrow doorways, tight hallways, and 90-degree turns make extraction difficult. Katy homes have various layouts — some with upstairs laundry, some with attached garages. We handle all of it.
Water Damage Risk
Improperly disconnected washers leak everywhere. Residual water in hoses and pumps spills on floors when tilted. We know how to drain and move washers without flooding your laundry room or hallway.
Gas Line Safety
Gas dryers connect to your home's gas line. Improper disconnection creates a leak hazard. Gas connections must be shut off and disconnected by a licensed professional before removal.
What's Recovered from Your Old Washer or Dryer?
Washers and dryers are among the most recyclable appliances in your home.
The drum, outer shell, and frame are steel — accounting for 60–70% of total weight. Recycled into new steel products with 75% less energy than mining raw iron ore.
Copper-wound motors weighing 15–30 lbs each. The copper, steel, and aluminum in motors are highly valued by recyclers.
Internal wiring, power cords, and motor windings. Copper is infinitely recyclable and worth more than almost any other material in the unit.
Front-load washers contain a 40–60 lb concrete block for stability. Crushed and recycled into aggregate for road construction and landscaping.
Pulleys, brackets, and hardware. Separated by metal type during the shredding process and recycled into new alloy products.
Knobs, dispensers, control panels, and drain components. Sorted by resin type and recycled where possible.
