How refrigerator disposal works in Houston
Houston is a hard place to get rid of a refrigerator through the city. The heavy-trash program requires a certified technician's tag, physically attached to the unit, proving the Freon has been evacuated before collection teams will take a fridge, freezer, or AC. Without the tag the truck turns around and the appliance sits at the curb. As of March 2026 the city paused its attempt to switch to a 311 call-to-schedule system due to staffing, and pickup delays are chronic.
There is a free path, with conditions. The city operates six residential drop-off centers that accept refrigerators at no charge, up to four times a month, but only with the certified Freon tag attached and only if you can haul the unit there yourself. Under EPA Section 608 the refrigerant has to be professionally recovered first, and the TCEQ enforces it at the state level, so the tag is not optional.
A booked Furniture Disposal Plus pickup skips the tag hunt, the drop-off haul, and the heavy-trash delays. Your Loaders come to the refrigerator wherever it sits, on a window you choose, often same-day or next-day across Houston ZIP codes. Certified handlers recover the refrigerant and the steel is recycled, so you never chase down an HVAC technician's tag. Furniture Disposal Plus serves Houston and the metro from Katy to Sugar Land and Pasadena.

Houston refrigerator questions
Refrigerator removal in Houston, common questions
How fast can you pick up a refrigerator in Houston?
Same-day and next-day windows are available across most Houston ZIP codes, from the Heights and Montrose to Midtown, the Museum District, and River Oaks. Availability shows when you enter your item and address.
Do I have to use Houston heavy trash instead?
No. Houston's heavy-trash program needs a certified Freon tag attached and has chronic delays after the 311 system was paused in 2026. Furniture Disposal Plus carries the fridge out on a window you choose, with one price up front.
Do you handle the certified Freon tag?
Yes. Certified handlers recover the refrigerant under EPA Section 608, so you do not need to hire an HVAC technician to tag the unit before pickup. You never chase the tag.
Can I just drop it at a city center?
You can, up to four times a month, but only with the Freon tag attached and only if you can haul it yourself. Furniture Disposal Plus takes it from inside your home instead.
