How refrigerator disposal works in Columbus
Columbus draws a sharp line on appliances. The city's free 311 bulk collection takes washers, dryers, and stoves, but refrigerators, freezers, dehumidifiers, and AC units are specifically not accepted because they contain refrigerant. A fridge needs a private hauler experienced in EPA-compliant recovery, or a self-haul to one of the two convenience centers, rather than the curb.
The reason is the Freon. Under EPA Section 608 the refrigerant must be recovered by a certified technician before any fridge is scrapped, and venting it is illegal. AEP and other utilities run rebate pickups for working refrigerators and freezers, but a dead unit does not qualify and still needs certified recovery before it can be recycled.
A booked Furniture Disposal Plus pickup handles the recovery the city bulk program will not touch. Your Loaders come to the refrigerator wherever it sits, out of a kitchen or up from a basement, on a window you choose, often same-day or next-day across Columbus ZIP codes. Certified handlers recover the refrigerant and the steel is recycled, and Furniture Disposal Plus serves Columbus and the metro from Dublin to Westerville and Grove City.

Columbus refrigerator questions
Refrigerator removal in Columbus, common questions
How fast can you pick up a refrigerator in Columbus?
Same-day and next-day windows are available across most Columbus ZIP codes, from German Village and the Short North to Clintonville, Bexley, and Upper Arlington. Availability shows when you enter your item and address.
Does Columbus 311 bulk pickup take refrigerators?
No. The city's free bulk collection takes washers, dryers, and stoves but not refrigerators, freezers, or AC units, which contain refrigerant. Furniture Disposal Plus carries the fridge out on a window you choose, with one price up front.
Do you remove the Freon from the refrigerator?
Yes. Certified handlers recover the refrigerant under EPA Section 608, the same recovery the city requires a private hauler to handle. You never arrange it.
My fridge still works, is the utility rebate better?
If it runs, an AEP-style rebate pickup is a good path. For a dead unit, Furniture Disposal Plus takes it and recycles it with one upfront price.
