Welcome to Orange Crew
Bulky, 200+ lbs, and full of refrigerant that has to be handled by law — let Orange Crew haul your old fridge or freezer from any room, any floor, without you straining your back.
Same-day refrigerator removal available across Chicagoland.
A licensed crew arrives, safely maneuvers your fridge or freezer from wherever it sits, loads it without damaging your floors, and handles refrigerant, recycling, or donation. No rental truck, no back strain, no guessing where to dump it.
Kitchen, basement, garage, third-floor walk-up — our crew uses appliance dollies and straps to navigate tight hallways and stairwells so you never wrestle a 250 lb fridge to the curb yourself.
Working units go to local charities when possible. The rest is recycled — refrigerant recovered by law, metal and components processed responsibly, never illegally dumped on a curb or alley.
Whether you're upgrading to a new refrigerator, clearing a garage backup freezer, or turning over a rental unit — our crew handles the heavy lifting and the refrigerant so you don't risk injury, delays, or fines.
Every unit has different weight, refrigerant, and access challenges — here's what we handle daily across Chicago homes, kitchens, and garages.

Refrigerators are heavy, refrigerant-filled, and regulated. Here's why most people wish they'd called a pro instead of wrestling one down the stairs.
Fridges weigh 200–350+ lbs. Our crew uses appliance dollies, straps, and proper team lifts.
Freon must be recovered by certified handlers — improper release is illegal. We recycle to EPA standards.
Dragging a fridge gouges floors and scuffs walls. We remove doors when needed and protect your home.

Common questions from homeowners, movers, and property managers.
