Why should I recycle my appliances?

• Safe Freon removal - Since 1992, federal law prohibits the release of ozone depleting refrigerants into the atmosphere.  Freon must be first be removed from appliances by a certified technician before they can be recycled.
• Conserve natural resources - Appliances are broken down into parts and recycled accordingly.

Pickup preparation checklist:

To prepare for an appliance pickup, please follow these program rules:

• Appliances must be empty, including removing all food items and containers. If the appliance is not completely empty, it will not be picked up and a trip fee will be assessed.
• For safety reasons, please select one of the options below relating to refrigerators, freezers or freezer chests, ovens, or any other appliance that may pose a hazard to children:

• Option 1: Tape refrigerator and/or freezer doors shut using strong tape.
• Option 2: Lay refrigerator and/or freezer on curb with doors face down. 

*A trip charge fee of $19.00 will be assessed if items are not at the curb when our crew arrives. 

*Cancellation/Rescheduling Policy: If you need to cancel or reschedule, please call (480) 644-6789.
