How much does Appliance Removal cost in Santa Teresa San Jose?
Nobody likes vague pricing, especially when it’s for something as simple as hauling stuff away. Here’s exactly how appliance removal pricing works in Santa Teresa.
Dalux Junk Removal & Hauling is a locally-owned junk removal and hauling company based in Morgan Hill, CA, serving Santa Teresa (95119) and the rest of the South Bay. We’re licensed, insured, and obsessive about two things: showing up when we say we will, and keeping as much as possible out of the landfill.
Appliance Removal in Santa Teresa — What to Expect
Santa Teresa sits in the 95119 ZIP code and is south-end neighborhood with park access and a quieter suburban feel. The neighborhood’s 1970s–80s single-story tract homes mean tight spaces, vintage doorways, and sometimes serious access challenges — none of which are dealbreakers if your crew has worked the area before.
We’ve cleared garages off Santa Teresa County Park, hauled appliances out of homes near Santa Teresa Boulevard, and worked properties bordering Blossom Valley and Almaden Valley on a regular basis.
What We Take During Appliance Removal Jobs
Pretty much everything. For appliance removal specifically, the most common items we haul out of Santa Teresa homes include:
- stoves and ovens
- wine fridges and freezers
- dishwashers
- washers and dryers
- microwaves
We can also handle the awkward stuff — items that are too heavy for two people, items wedged in attics or crawl spaces, and items that have to be broken down before they’ll fit through a doorway. Just mention it when you call.
Real Pricing — Appliance Removal in Santa Teresa
Here are actual numbers, not “call for a quote” runaround:
| Job size |
Typical Santa Teresa price |
| Single item / minimum |
$75 |
| 1/4 truck |
$75–$215 |
| 1/2 truck |
$215–$308 |
| 3/4 truck |
$308–$406 |
| Full truck |
$406–$500 |
Final price is locked in before we start working. No surprise add-ons. If the job is bigger than expected, we’ll tell you the new number and you decide whether to proceed.
What Working With Us Actually Looks Like
The process for appliance removal is intentionally boring — because that’s how it should be.
You send a couple of photos. We give you a price. You pick a time. We show up in the window we promised, do the work, and leave the space cleaner than we found it.
For most Santa Teresa jobs, the on-site portion is typically 20–40 minutes for two-person teams. We handle every step of the load-out — including disconnecting appliances when needed, breaking down items that won’t fit through doorways, and sweeping up after.
After the truck leaves, your stuff doesn’t just disappear into a black hole. Refrigerants are properly evacuated by EPA-certified handlers. Metal is recycled. Working appliances are donated when possible.
Common Reasons People Book Appliance Removal
Across Santa Teresa and neighboring areas like Blossom Valley, the call usually comes in one of a handful of patterns:
The “we just bought the house and the previous owners left a lot behind” pattern. The “mom is moving in with us and we need to clear the guest room” pattern. The “the contractor finished the kitchen but left the old appliances in the driveway” pattern. The “we should have done this five years ago” pattern.
Whichever pattern you fall into — rental turnover, upgrading to new appliances, or anything else — the process is the same.
What’s Actually In the Price
When you pay Dalux Junk Removal & Hauling for appliance removal in Santa Teresa, here’s what’s bundled:
- Two-person crew. Loading, hauling, navigating tight spaces.
- Truck and fuel. No extra trip charges.
- Dump and recycling fees. Paid by us, not added to your bill.
- Donation routing. When applicable, we drop usable items at Habitat for Humanity ReStore, local appliance recyclers.
- Cleanup. Quick sweep of the area after load-out.
What’s not in the price: tips (never expected, always appreciated), and anything we explicitly call out as a separate line — like hazardous waste handoff fees if you have unusual items.
A Few Things That Help on Pickup Day
You don’t have to do anything before we arrive — but if you want to keep the job efficient:
- Pre-sort if you can. Even rough piles (“trash”, “donate”, “keep”) help us move faster.
- Snap photos. Anything sentimental? Take a picture before it goes.
- Park out of the driveway. We need the closest spot to the door for loading.
- Confirm the gate code or lockbox. Especially for Santa Teresa properties with security gates near Santa Teresa County Park.
- Tell us about stairs or tight turns. No surprises = no delays.
We bring tools (dollies, straps, blankets, basic disassembly gear) and protective floor coverings. You bring the items and the address. That’s the whole division of labor.
Why This Matters for Santa Teresa
Santa Teresa (95119) sits inside Santa Clara County, which has some of the most aggressive waste-diversion goals in California. The county is targeting a 75%+ landfill diversion rate, and the only way to actually hit that number is for haulers like us to sort instead of dump.
Practically, that means for every job in Santa Teresa, we’re separating donations, recyclables, and hazardous materials before anything reaches a transfer station. It’s a few extra steps on our end and zero extra cost or hassle on yours — which is the whole point.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer free quotes?
Yes. Text us photos or describe what you need hauled and we’ll give you a price range over the phone — usually within minutes during business hours. No in-person walk-through needed for most jobs.
Can you come on weekends?
Yes. We work Saturdays and most Sundays. Weekend slots fill up fast, so book ahead when you can.
Why is your minimum ${min_load}?
Because the truck, gas, two-person crew, and disposal fees are real costs whether we pick up one item or twenty. The minimum keeps us in business while still being one of the most affordable options in Santa Teresa.
Do you charge extra for heavy items?
Items like hot tubs, pianos, and safes have their own pricing because they require special equipment and extra crew. Standard appliance removal doesn’t have weight surcharges.
What if I have more stuff than I thought?
We’ll re-quote on the spot. You can decide whether to add to the load or leave the extras for another day. No pressure.
