Fridges & freezers

City-by-city guide coming soon

We only publish city rules after checking the official source. Until then, check your city or county's public works or solid waste website.

Federal Clean Air Act (Section 608) rules require refrigerant to be safely removed before refrigerators and freezers are disposed of. Ask any hauler or drop-off site how they handle the refrigerant. (www.epa.gov)
ENERGY STAR has recycling information for refrigerators, freezers and other appliances. (www.energystar.gov)
