Our History
2016-2026
Cobarruvias Appliance has been serving the California Appliance Recycling Industry for the last 10 years. We started small with a single truck and have grown year over year. Hauling appliances for many large companies and several local appliance stores helped us gradually grow into the size and capacity needed to take us to the next level. With eight 26-ft box trucks, a semi-truck, and several dry van trailers, there isn't a job too large for us to handle quickly and efficiently. We are truly a circular-economy company, delivering new appliances to PG&E and hauling away old appliances for recycling. Cobarruvias Appliance has recently moved into our new processing center at 760 Douglas Ave, Oakland, CA 94603. This added space and well-laid-out recycling stations allow us to process up to 500 appliances a day! We typically process multiple truckloads of appliances at the same time. Jesus Avila, the owner and founder, has always invested in growth and in delivering the highest quality service possible. We have grown to over 15 employees and scores of subcontractors, and we project to add at least 10 new employees this year. We look forward to adding accounts and routes to our workload and have launched a complete rebrand of our company and services offered!
