illustration-dot-dropoffillustration-dot-refrigerant

WHAT

  • Refrigerators
  • Beverage Coolers
  • Water Coolers (i.e. Culligan, Absopure)
  • Freezers
  • Air Conditioners, AC Units
  • Dehumidifiers
  • Any other refrigerant-containing device

WHERE
At the Drop-off Center on Pleasantview Road

HOW

Fee: If your item has not already been “tagged” by a certified refrigeration technician–as required law before recycling or disposal–there is a
fee of $35 to cover this service.

We contract with a certified technician to come to the Drop-off Center and inspect/service a couple dozen of these appliances at once. They remove the refrigerant from OR confirm the lack of refrigerant in the units and “tag” them all. We provide this service because it is very expensive to have a refrigeration tech come out to deal with one or two appliances, and that's IF you can get on their schedule. Removing the refrigerants is an important step which protects the ozone layer and is key to slowing or reversing climate change.

Collection Service and a Rebate May Be Available to You!

Have a working but unwanted refrigerator or freezer? As part of their efforts to conserve energy, the area’s electricity providers offer rebates for recycling working older refrigerators, freezers, dehumidifiers, and/or air conditioners. Last we checked, the rebates were $50 for the larger appliances, $15 for the smaller with a limit of three per year. They will even pick up from your home! Call your electricity provider for details.
