Don't want to haul it yourself? Get a junk removal quote
Junk removal crews load and dispose of it for you, usually priced by how much of the truck you fill.
Tip: get two or three quotes from local junk removal companies, and ask whether the price includes the dump fee and labor.
Bigger project? Estimate the dumpster size you need.
General tips for appliances
Federal law (Clean Air Act Section 608) requires the refrigerant in fridges, freezers, window air conditioners and dehumidifiers to be recovered before the appliance is scrapped or landfilled. That is why many facilities charge extra for anything with refrigerant, or require a tag showing a certified technician already removed it.
Other options. Many electric utilities run appliance recycling programs that pick up a working old fridge or freezer, sometimes with a rebate (EPA's Responsible Appliance Disposal program lists partners). Retailers often haul away the old unit when delivering a new one. Scrap metal yards take appliances without refrigerant (washers, dryers, stoves, water heaters), sometimes paying for the metal.
Before you go. Ask whether refrigerant removal is done on site and what it costs, and whether doors must be removed (a child-safety rule at many sites).
