Freezer Removal in Fresh Meadows, New York

Call ARCA or visit the department's website at www.ladwp.com to schedule a refrigerator pick-up.

To dispose of a refrigerator in NYC, you must schedule a free CFC gas removal via 311 or online, then remove doors/locks, and place it at the curb for pickup, as DSNY handles these special hazardous appliances to ensure environmental safety before recycling. For quicker options or in-home removal, private junk haulers offer paid services that also handle proper recycling/donation, notes this LoadUp page.

For large items – like dishwashers, microwaves, ovens and ranges, washers and dryers, and water heaters – that are too large to fit in a bin or bag, follow the rules for large (bulk) items: Set out: Items that are mostly metal or plastic with recycling. All other non-recyclable items with trash.

To dispose of a toaster oven in NYC, you can schedule a DSNY Bulk Pickup (place curbside the night before), take it to a retailer like Best Buy for recycling, drop it off at a SAFE Disposal Event or Electronics Recycling Drop-off (ERDO) site, or use a private junk hauler if it's working and you want it gone fast. Working units can also be donated via the NYS Reuse Locator or offered on local groups.
