Oswego homeowners call Junk Nurse for appliance removal throughout Oswego and the surrounding Fox Valley. Oswego is one of Illinois’ fastest-growing suburbs, and Boulder Hill is the kind of established neighborhood where we get called back year after year.
What We Remove in Oswego
Old fridges that smell like 1996. Washers and dryers that finally gave up. Dishwashers being swapped during a kitchen remodel. We pull the appliance, disconnect water lines where safe, and haul it out without scratching your floors. We work Boulder Hill, the Route 30 corridor, Hunt Club, and every neighborhood between — from compact townhomes to acreage properties on the rural fringe.
- Refrigerators and freezers (including chest freezers)
- Washing machines and dryers
- Dishwashers and built-in ovens
- Stoves, ranges, and microwaves
- Water heaters, AC units, and dehumidifiers
If you’re not sure whether we’ll take something, just ask. Text a photo to (630) 294-1340. We say yes to almost everything — the only items we won’t haul are household hazardous waste (paint solvents, pesticides, certain chemicals), and even then we’ll tell you exactly where to drop them off locally.
The Junk Nurse Difference in Oswego
Alex Welsch started Junk Nurse after 15 years working as a registered nurse. The nursing approach — show up on time, do the job right, treat the property like it’s yours — carries straight into every appliance removal job we run in Oswego. We’re $1M liability insured, we have 47+ five-star Google reviews, and the price we quote is the price you pay. Period. No surprise fees at the end, no “we found more weight than expected,” no upsell at the door.
Oswego families have been here a long time. We get a lot of repeat work — basement one year, garage the next, sometimes a full move-out down the road. Boulder Hill homes were built mostly in the 60s and 70s — we know what’s usually in those basements before we even open the door. Oswego is part of our home territory in Kendall County, not a market we drive into from out of town. We know the streets near Boulder Hill, we know a strong mix of established Boulder Hill ranches and split-levels, plus newer construction further south, and we know how to get a truck in and out without anyone noticing we were there.
That local knowledge matters more than people think. A driveway in Boulder Hill isn’t the same as a driveway in Hunt Club. A basement in a 1970s ranch in Oswego isn’t the same as one in a 2015 build. We’ve seen the layouts, we know what gear to bring, and we don’t waste your morning figuring it out on arrival.

Why Oswego Calls Junk Nurse
National chains route their trucks from a dispatcher in another state. Their crews don’t know Oswego, they don’t know which way the traffic moves on Randall Road at 3pm, and they don’t know that the alley behind your block barely fits a pickup. We do. We’ve been working Kendall County since day one, and we treat every Oswego job like our reputation depends on it — because in a town this size, it does.
Our trucks are clean. Our crews wear uniforms. We text you when we’re 20 minutes out. We park where you want us to park. And when we leave, the only sign we were there is that the appliance removal you wanted gone is, in fact, gone.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does appliance removal cost in Oswego, IL?
Most Oswego appliance removal jobs land in the $75–$175 range, depending on volume, access, and what we’re hauling. We give you a flat quote up front — not a ‘starting at’ number that goes up when the truck pulls away. The price we quote is the price you pay.
Do you offer same-day appliance removal in Oswego?
Yes. Same-day appliance pickup is one of our most common jobs — especially for fridges and washers that are leaking or already disconnected. Oswego is well inside our regular service area, so we can usually get there fast.
Do you remove old refrigerators with food still in them in Oswego?
Yes. We’d prefer the fridge be emptied if possible, but if it’s been sitting unplugged or it’s part of an estate cleanout, we’ll handle it. We dispose of appliances responsibly — refrigerants are reclaimed where required.
