White goods removal in Brisbane, lifted by two people.
Old fridges, freezers, washing machines and dryers taken out of the kitchen or laundry and loaded for you. Every whitegood is a two person lift, so nobody in the house has to shuffle a fridge down a hallway on a towel.
- Two person hauler teams on every appliance pickup
- Appliances go to a metal or appliance recycler where one is available
- Single items up to 150kg and 3m long fit the fleet
Why white goods removal in Brisbane is a two person job
A family fridge sits somewhere between 80kg and 150kg, has no handles, and usually stands at the end of a hallway with one tight corner. A front loader is worse, because the drum weight sits low and shifts as the machine tilts. That is why PicUp sends a two person hauler team to every whitegoods pickup rather than one driver with a trolley. The lift is planned before anything moves, and doorways, steps and lift access get sorted at booking rather than on the day.
PicUp exists for the things that are too big for a parcel and too small for freight. The fleet covers any single item up to three metres long and 150kg, running from utes and one to three tonne cargo vans through to a four tonne pantech with a tail lift. For a fridge coming out of a third floor unit, the tail lift does the last part of the work instead of a stairwell.
Appliances PicUp collects
Most Brisbane bookings are one or two appliances being swapped out, often on the same day a new unit is delivered. Typical pickups include:
- Fridges and bar fridges, including side by side and French door units
- Chest and upright freezers from garages, sheds and laundries
- Top and front loading washing machines, plus vented and heat pump dryers
- Dishwashers, wall ovens and cooktops already disconnected by a trade
- A mixed load of appliances plus furniture and boxes in one pickup
Common Brisbane appliance pickups
New fridge arriving tomorrowThe retailer delivers the replacement but will not take the old unit, so a PicUp booking clears the kitchen before it lands.
Laundry upgradeA washer and dryer pair leaving together, wheeled out through a side gate rather than back through the house.
Apartment with lift accessUnits in Newstead, South Brisbane and Woolloongabba where the building wants a lift booking and a set loading dock time. Tell PicUp at booking and the slot is matched to it.
Landlord turnoverA dead fridge and a rusted freezer removed from a rental between tenants, usually alongside a small pile of other leftovers.
Whitegoods are often part of a bigger clear-out. If yours is one item in a garage full of things, junk removal in Brisbane covers the whole load, and small moves handles an appliance that is being kept and relocated rather than disposed of.
How PicUp handles appliances
Two people, every lift
Fridges, freezers, washers and dryers are heavy two person lifts, so a team comes to the door. No trolley wrestling and no asking a neighbour for help.
Recycling first
Appliances go to a metal or appliance recycler where one is available, so the steel, copper and aluminium are recovered instead of buried.
Fixed price, tracked
The quote is set before you confirm and the vehicle is tracked on the day, so the wait is a time slot rather than a whole morning.
What a Brisbane white goods removal quote covers
Appliance pickups are quoted on the space the load takes up in the vehicle plus the labour to get it out, and priced before you confirm. One washing machine and a full laundry of gear are not charged the same way.
Every quote includes:
- A two person team to carry the appliance out, stairs included
- A ute, cargo van or pantech with a tail lift matched to the item
- Travel to the recycler, charity or licensed transfer station
- Disposal of standard household whitegoods and small appliances
- Live tracking on the day and a fixed price up front
What haulers do not do on site: doors are not taken off appliances and refrigerant gas is not degassed by PicUp. If a fridge or freezer needs its gas handled, that is a job for a licensed technician before the pickup. Plumbed and hardwired appliances need to be disconnected first as well.
Not carried at all: asbestos, paint and chemicals, gas bottles, tyres, car batteries and liquid waste.

Brisbane white goods removal FAQs
Will PicUp take my old fridge out of the kitchen?
Yes. A two person hauler team carries the fridge out from wherever it stands, including down stairs and along tight hallways. Nothing needs to be moved to the kerb first. Clearing the path between the appliance and the front door is the only preparation that helps.
Does PicUp remove the doors or degas a fridge or freezer?
No. Doors are not removed on site and refrigerant gas is not degassed by PicUp. Appliances are taken away whole and delivered to a metal or appliance recycler where one is available, and any gas handling is done by a licensed technician, not by the hauler.
How much does white goods removal in Brisbane cost?
Pricing is based on the space the load takes up in the vehicle plus the labour to get it out, not an hourly rate. List the appliances or send a photo and the quote comes back as a fixed price before you confirm the booking, so a single dryer and a full laundry clear-out are priced differently.
Do the appliances have to be disconnected before the hauler arrives?
Yes. Washing machines should have the hoses off and the taps closed, and anything hardwired or plumbed in, such as a dishwasher or a wall oven, needs a trade to disconnect it first. Haulers lift and load, they do not disconnect plumbing or electrical work.
Can a washing machine be collected from an apartment with lift access?
Yes. Say at booking that the building has a lift or a loading dock, along with any booking window the body corporate requires, and the pickup is matched to that slot. Where a lift is not available, the two person team carries the appliance down the stairs instead.
