Industrial equipment removal
Heavy machine to clear and no one will touch it? I have the forklift, the experience, and free removal — because I reclaim the value myself instead of charging you to haul it.
Use the pickup form or text a couple photos to (702) 496-4214 with your neighborhood. Under a minute.
I review every request myself and reply about what is a fit and the day I can come. Nothing is promised until I confirm.
On the day we agree on, leave it on the porch or in the garage. You do not need to be home.
I pick it up at no cost and give it a second life through resale and reuse.
Before you ask — the honest limits. Abq Reclaimed is just me, and I run a few community projects at once. So free pickups are limited and entirely at my discretion — I can't take everything, and some weeks I can't do pickups at all. Send a photo and I'll tell you honestly whether I can fit it in; if I can't, I'll point you elsewhere. (Prefer to drop off? We can sometimes arrange that by appointment.) When I do collect, a few days later I send you a Reclaim Receipt telling you where your stuff went.
Most haulers in Albuquerque charge by the truckload to take a dead machine away. I work the other way around. When a piece of industrial equipment still has recoverable metal and components in it, I remove it free and recover that value myself — there is no haul-away fee, and it is not a cash offer for the machine either. You clear the space; I reclaim what is left in it. Send a photo of the machine and where it sits, and I can usually tell you fast whether it is a fit.
Why a one-person outfit can take the heavy stuff: I own and run a forklift. I once pulled a several-thousand-pound heat exchanger off a trailer with it, stripped the copper, and sold the electronic components — some shipped internationally, including to the UK. Real industrial weight does not scare me off; it is what I am set up for, by arrangement when I can bring the forklift.
Server racks, lab gear, and other e-waste that rides along with a removal are my thing too — see electronics & e-waste pickup. The bare metal side — copper, aluminum, brass, steel, wire, radiators — is what makes free removal work; if your job is mostly raw scrap metal, that fits the same model.
I am one person running a few community projects, so pickup is by approval and at my discretion. Heavy or awkward loads get scheduled for when I can bring the forklift — no same-day promises and no named time windows, just an honest yes or no once I see the photo. Albuquerque metro is home base; East Mountains and Rio Rancho jobs are case-by-case.
A photo is the fastest yes. One picture of the machine and its surroundings tells me the weight, the access, and what is recoverable. Text it to (702) 496-4214 or use the request form. Clearing a whole space? See estate & commercial cleanouts or the full what-I-take list.
Good to know
It is genuinely free for qualifying machines. I make it work by recovering the metal and reusable components myself, so there is no haul-away fee. I do not pay you for the machine either — free removal is the deal, not a cash offer.
Yes — I own and operate a forklift and take on heavy, awkward industrial loads that standard junk crews turn down. I once pulled a several-thousand-pound heat exchanger off a trailer with it. Send a photo and I will confirm I can rig and move yours.
Restaurant and commercial kitchen equipment, HVAC units, machine- and auto-shop machinery, warehouse and light-industrial gear, and medical or dental office equipment from buildouts and turnovers. If you are not sure, text a photo to (702) 496-4214 and I will tell you.
Yes, as long as the refrigerant has already been professionally recovered — I am not licensed to pull refrigerant. Once the unit is clean of refrigerant, oil, and fuel, I can remove furnaces, condensers, chillers, and swamp coolers free.
Removal of the resale- and salvage-worthy machinery is free; for the leftover junk that has no recoverable value I will point you to the right hauler. Send photos of the space and I will tell you honestly what I can take and what I can't.
I review every request myself and reply with what is a fit and the day I can come. Because I am one person and bring the forklift for heavy loads, I schedule by arrangement — no same-day or guaranteed windows, just a clear yes or no once I see the photo.
Send a couple photos and I will tell you honestly if it is a fit. Free pickup across Albuquerque, by approval.
