How refrigerator disposal works in San Francisco
San Francisco has the strictest appliance disposal rules in the country. The California Air Resources Board Refrigerant Management Program requires CFCs, HCFCs, and HFCs to be recovered by an EPA-certified technician before a refrigerator is disposed of, and venting refrigerant is never allowed. Recology, the city hauler, does accept residential refrigerators through its curbside Bulky Item Collection.
Recology gives residential customers in buildings of five units or fewer two free Bulky Item Collections a year, and each unit in a larger building gets one, with pickups scheduled ahead and items set at the curb with a Recology sign. The catch is prep and timing: the fridge has to be emptied, the doors handled, and it has to be moved to the curb yourself, which is a real obstacle in a city of walk-ups and steep grades.
A booked Furniture Disposal Plus pickup takes the refrigerator from wherever it sits, up from a garage or down from a Nob Hill flat, on a window you choose. Certified handlers recover the refrigerant to CARB and EPA standards and the metal is recycled, so you never touch the curb set-out or the fee. Furniture Disposal Plus serves San Francisco and the wider Bay Area from Daly City to South San Francisco and Oakland.

San Francisco refrigerator questions
Refrigerator removal in San Francisco, common questions
How fast can you pick up a refrigerator in San Francisco?
Same-day and next-day windows are available across most San Francisco ZIP codes, from the Mission and Noe Valley to the Sunset, the Richmond, and Pacific Heights. Availability shows when you enter your item and address.
Do I have to use Recology Bulky Item Collection instead?
No. Recology offers free bulky pickups but you have to empty the fridge, handle the doors, and move it to the curb yourself on the scheduled day. Furniture Disposal Plus carries it out from inside on a window you choose, with one price shown up front.
Do you remove the Freon from the refrigerator?
Yes. California requires refrigerant recovery by an EPA-certified technician before disposal, with no venting allowed under the CARB Refrigerant Management Program. Certified handlers do this for you.
Can you get a fridge out of a walk-up or garage?
Yes. Your Loaders handle stairs, tight halls, and steep Bay Area grades at no extra charge. Note the floor and access when you book.
