Refrigerator Removal in Needham, Massachusetts

No, Styrofoam (expanded polystyrene) is not recyclable in curbside bins in Massachusetts and should go in the trash, but you can find special drop-off locations via Recycle Smart MA's Beyond the Bin for clean white packaging foam, like at Conigliaro Industries in Framingham. Always check the Recycle Smart MA Recyclopedia Tool for your specific town, as it's often contaminated or too difficult for standard facilities.

Use the MassDEP Beyond the Bin Recycling Directory to find charities and organizations near you that accept them for reuse or recycling. Take advantage of retailer haul-away. Most furniture and mattress sellers accept old mattresses for recycling and disposal when they deliver newly purchased mattresses to your home.

In Massachusetts, you cannot throw TVs in the regular trash; they must be recycled at approved facilities or through special collection events, using resources like RecycleSmart MA, Earth911, or your town's website for local options like drop-offs, mail-backs, or retailer take-backs (e.g., Best Buy). Older CRT TVs are especially hazardous due to lead and require proper handling, often at designated e-waste events or facilities.

Instructions. Do NOT put tanks containing gas in the trash. Many AmeriGas and Blue Rhino retail dealers take back five-pound steel propane tanks, usually at no charge. Take to a municipal collection program, if available, or save for a household hazardous waste collection event, if offered.
