How to avoid surprises on arrival
Empty the appliance

What changes the price
The quote should reflect the actual item, labor and access rather than a generic teaser price.
| Factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Size | French-door, side-by-side and commercial-style units can be much heavier than top-freezer models. |
| Stairs | Basement and upper-floor refrigerators need additional labor and equipment. |
| Water line | A still-connected ice-maker line changes readiness. |
| Carry distance | Long paths, slopes and distant parking increase labor. |
| Refrigerant handling | Appliances require appropriate disposal or recycling pathways. |
Local details worth including
The City of Tuscaloosa has preparation rules for refrigerators placed for municipal collection. Private removal is useful when the unit is inside, the deadline comes first, the property is not eligible for normal curb service or the customer wants full-service lifting.
