Refrigerator Removal in Hurley, New York

Answer: Please contact your regular trash hauler to schedule a bulky item pick-up. If your trash hauler will not pick it up, please search for a special recycler through the Smart Business Recycling locator (link provided below) or look into your yellow pages for a recycler that handles refrigerators.

For electric appliances that aren't covered by the State's e-waste law, such as microwaves, fans, or irons, you should remove the battery and dispose of them curbside following normal trash or recycling disposal rules.

To dispose of an AC unit in NYC, you must schedule a free CFC removal appointment with the NYC Department of Sanitation (DSNY) online (nyc.gov/CFC) or by calling 311, as they must safely extract Freon before it's collected as scrap metal for recycling on your scheduled day, typically placed curbside the night before. For non-DSNY options, junk removal services like LoadUp offer paid removal with same-day service, or you can check for donation to places like Habitat for Humanity if the unit works.

To dispose of electronics in NYC, use DSNY's free drop-off sites, ecycleNYC for large buildings, SAFE Disposal Events, manufacturer take-back programs (like Best Buy/Staples), or donate/sell via places like Goodwill ; it's illegal to trash TVs/computers due to hazardous materials. Check the NYC.gov DSNY page for locations and event schedules, calling first to confirm acceptance.
