How refrigerator disposal works in New York City
New York City handles refrigerators through a dedicated CFC recovery program, not regular trash. The Department of Sanitation provides free curbside removal of appliances with CFC or Freon, but you must call 311 to make an appointment first, and up to ten appliances can be scheduled per visit. A fridge cannot simply be set out on a collection day, and business appliances are not eligible for the residential program.
Two rules catch people. Before pickup the hinges and locks must be removed from the refrigerator or freezer, and some newer units that use R600a or R32 refrigerant, marked with a yellow warning sticker, cannot be collected by DSNY at all and need a private carter. Under EPA Section 608 the refrigerant has to be professionally recovered before any fridge is scrapped, and venting it is illegal.
A booked Furniture Disposal Plus pickup skips the 311 appointment, the hinge removal, and the sticker check. Your Loaders come to the refrigerator wherever it sits, up from a basement or out of a fifth-floor walk-up, on a window you choose, often same-day or next-day across the five boroughs. Certified handlers recover the refrigerant and the steel is recycled, and Furniture Disposal Plus serves New York City and the wider metro from Jersey City to Yonkers and Newark.

New York City refrigerator questions
Refrigerator removal in New York City, common questions
How fast can you pick up a refrigerator in New York City?
Same-day and next-day windows are available across most New York City ZIP codes, from Manhattan and Brooklyn to Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. Availability shows when you enter your item and address.
Do I have to use the DSNY CFC appointment instead?
No. The city requires a 311 appointment, hinge removal, and a curb set-out, and it will not take newer R600a or R32 units. Furniture Disposal Plus carries the fridge out from inside on a window you choose, with one price shown up front.
Do you remove the Freon from the refrigerator?
Yes. The refrigerant is recovered by certified handlers under EPA Section 608, which is required by law before any refrigerator is recycled or scrapped. You never handle the recovery.
Can you get a fridge down from a walk-up?
Yes. Your Loaders handle stairs, tight halls, and fifth-floor walk-ups at no extra charge. Note the floor and access when you book.
