Microwave removal Services in Memphis, Tennessee

Microwave removal requires more than just throwing an appliance in a truck. Built-in microwaves in kitchens across East Memphis, Midtown Memphis, and Downtown Memphis often require careful disconnection from cabinetry and ventilation systems. Countertop models, while simpler, still need proper handling to prevent damage to surrounding surfaces and electrical hazards. EvoNorth Junk Removal provides safe, efficient microwave removal whether your unit sits in a condo in Germantown or a family home in Bartlett.

Our microwave removal process begins with an on-site assessment to determine installation type-countertop, over-the-range, or built-in-and any electrical or venting connections. We then safely disconnect the unit from power sources, remove mounting hardware or cabinetry fasteners, and carefully extract the microwave to prevent damage to surrounding walls, cabinets, or floors. Once loaded into our hauling vehicles, microwaves are transported to certified e-waste recycling centers where metal, glass, and electronic components are separated and processed according to EPA standards. Most residential microwave removals in Memphis neighborhoods like Hickory Hill, Raleigh, and Frayser are completed within one business day.

Our Microwave removal Process

1

Initial Contact and Assessment

Call EvoNorth Junk Removal at (901) 530-9375 or schedule online. We ask about microwave type, location in your Memphis-area home, and whether it's connected to electrical or ventilation systems. Most assessments take 5-10 minutes.

2

On-Site Evaluation and Quote

Our team visits your Southaven, Horn Lake, or Olive Branch property to inspect the microwave and surrounding area. We provide an upfront quote with no hidden fees. Appointments are typically available within 1-2 business days.

3

Safe Disconnection and Removal

We shut off power at the circuit breaker, disconnect electrical cords, and remove any ventilation ducting. For built-in units in Walls or Nesbit homes, we unscrew mounting hardware and carefully extract the unit without damaging adjacent cabinetry. This step usually takes 15-45 minutes depending on installation type.

Transport and Certified Recycling

The microwave is loaded into our vehicle and transported to a certified e-waste facility serving the Memphis region. E-waste processors recover copper wiring, aluminum, steel, and circuit board materials. Disposal is completed within 3 business days of removal.

Final Cleanup and Completion

We sweep, vacuum, and wipe down the area where your microwave was located. You receive a completion confirmation with photos. Total project time from call to cleanup finish is typically 1-3 days for Memphis properties.

Recent Project

Microwave Removal Project in East Memphis Kitchen Renovation

In March 2024, EvoNorth removed a 15-year-old over-the-range microwave from a 2,400 sq ft home in East Memphis near the Germantown border. The unit was mounted directly above an electric cooktop with integral ventilation ducting and a 240-volt connection requiring circuit breaker shutdown. Our team safely disconnected the power, removed the ventilation ducting, unbolted the mounting brackets, and extracted the microwave without damaging the custom cabinetry. The complete job, including electrical disconnect and e-waste transport to a Memphis-area recycling facility, was finished in 4 hours. The homeowner paid $225 and received documentation of proper e-waste recycling.

Countertop models typically cost $150-$200; over-the-range units with ventilation disconnect cost $225-$300; built-in models in tight spaces may cost $300-$350. Call (901) 530-9375 for exact quote specific to your East Memphis, Germantown, or Cordova address.

How long does microwave removal take?

Most microwave removals take 30 minutes to 1 hour on-site. Countertop models are fastest (15-30 minutes); over-the-range units require ventilation disconnect (30-45 minutes); built-in models may take 45-60 minutes if cabinetry is involved. Scheduling is typically available within 1-2 business days in Memphis neighborhoods.

Do you handle built-in microwave removal?

Yes. Built-in microwaves mounted inside cabinetry require careful disconnection from electrical sources and removal of mounting hardware without damaging surrounding cabinets. Our team is experienced with built-in removals in older homes and new construction throughout Memphis, Collierville, and surrounding areas.

Is cleanup included after removal?

Yes. After microwave extraction, we sweep, vacuum, and wipe down the area. We remove dust, debris, and any fastening hardware left behind. Your kitchen is left clean and ready for a replacement unit or cabinetry repair.

Where do you take removed microwaves?

Microwaves are transported to EPA-certified e-waste recycling facilities serving the Memphis region. These facilities separate metal, glass, plastic, and circuit board materials for proper processing. You receive documentation of disposal. We do not send appliances to landfills.

Do I need to disconnect the microwave before you arrive?

No. Our team handles all disconnection. For safety, do not attempt to disconnect a built-in or over-the-range microwave yourself-these are often connected to 240-volt power or ventilation systems. We manage electrical and ventilation disconnection as part of the service.
