How refrigerator disposal works in Austin
Austin gives residents a free way to get rid of a refrigerator, with a condition attached. Austin Resource Recovery offers two free bulk pickups a year that accept appliances, but the refrigerant has to be professionally removed first, and Texas law requires certified recovery before any refrigerant appliance is disposed of. In 2025 the city moved from a fixed bulk schedule to an on-demand system, so a pickup now has to be requested and scheduled.
The free rebate path many Austinites remember is gone. Austin Energy ran a refrigerator recycling program for eleven years and retired it after collecting tens of thousands of old units, so there is no longer a city-utility pickup that pays you for a working fridge. That leaves the bulk appointment, a scrap or recycling drop-off you haul yourself, or a hauler, and under EPA Section 608 venting the Freon is illegal on every one of those paths.
A booked Furniture Disposal Plus pickup handles the refrigerant step and the heavy lift together. Your Loaders come to the fridge wherever it sits, on a window you choose, often same-day or next-day across Austin ZIP codes, and certified handlers recover the refrigerant while the steel is recycled. There is no bulk appointment to schedule and no curb set-out, and Furniture Disposal Plus serves Austin and the metro from Round Rock to Cedar Park and Pflugerville.

Austin refrigerator questions
Refrigerator removal in Austin, common questions
How fast can you pick up a refrigerator in Austin?
Same-day and next-day windows are available across most Austin ZIP codes, from Mueller and East Austin to South Congress, Hyde Park, and the Domain area. Availability shows when you enter your item and address.
Do I have to use Austin Resource Recovery bulk pickup instead?
No. The city's two free bulk pickups accept appliances only after the refrigerant is professionally removed, and pickup is now on-demand and scheduled. 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. Texas law and EPA Section 608 require certified refrigerant recovery before a fridge is disposed of, and venting it is illegal. Certified handlers do this for you.
Does Austin Energy still pay to recycle my fridge?
No. Austin Energy ended its long-running refrigerator recycling rebate program, so that free-payment path no longer exists. Furniture Disposal Plus takes the unit, working or not, with one upfront price.
